Sorry to have missed the discussion window which was due to my work schedule. I very much enjoyed being part of this grand collaboration. As a nurse I felt a little worried about sharing my piece from the other side of healthcare, but the response from my fellow authors was so kind and loving. I could relate to every article I read on some level, mother, child, friend, ect.. and they were all fantastic. Thank you Victoria.

I learned a lot from all the various perspectives and stories around crying! One that I find particularly interesting is from Dr. Amber regarding crying and parenting, especially I am still navigating this new charters and wish to cultivate a healthy relationship with crying for my children!

Hey everyone - I just posted my contribution which is a look at being allergic to your own tears, our reflexive need to hide our pain and what would happen if we stopped hiding. If we asked people to face our suffering and understand the unrelenting nature of chronic illness: https://www.disabledginger.com/p/all-the-tears-i-can-not-cry-and-all

Woohoo I’m first! I’m never first! Just wanted to say I’m so glad you’re doing an open thread where people can share thoughts and what resonated with them.

I will be back to say more when I’m not half asleep - and I’ve almost finished my own contribution about crying and grief.

Great job everyone!
