Loss… it comes in many forms. I am no stranger to loss. But recently, loss has manifested as friends and family moving abroad (and for me, some clients) and the death of pets. Thinking of all who experience loss that is silent x

CAN THEY SEE ME CRY? 🫶🏽

A question I am often asked by parents…

Here’s how a part of my afternoon looked:

I heard the knock…

The door opened…

“Mom, I’m just coming for a hug.
I couldn’t find you.”

She saw the half-wiped tears…

“What’s wrong mom?”

“I’m sad my love. It’s normal to feel sad when someone you love is very sick…
Even mommies cry sometimes…”

She put her little arms around me…

“I understand, Mom”

After a few minutes, she went to fetch me a blanket from the cupboard- one that I have held onto for twenty seven years… It was my moms…

Off she went again- to make me tea and a card…

When she returned, we sat in silence together on my home office carpet, loading up on snuggles from my beloved rescue hound…

We sat some more…
Just being… (My medium sized hound was by that stage curled up on my lap- fast asleep and super cozy)

Here’s the thing:

It’s our role as parents to nurture our children’s pain, to hold the space for them, to offer comfort through our silent presence…

But we parents are human…
We don’t need to hide our humanity
We shouldn’t

It’s important for our children to see this side too…

At these times, our children feel valued and empowered-
When they know they can help,
When they can show us love in practical ways,
When they can embrace us with care (and tea, and love notes…)

Our kids need to know that big people cry too…
They need to know that although they are never responsible for any of our emotions, and it’s never their role to “fix” whatever space we are in, that we allow ourselves to feel…
deeply…
intensely…
painfully at times…

To feel is a human response…
not a “kid” one…

So in answer to that question:

“Can they see me cry?”

Yes, they absolutely can…

Talk them through it…
Normalize it
Humanize it

Let them see your tears
Let them know you feel

Gift your children the permission to be fully human and to experience ALL their emotions without shame… (because even grown ups feel these overwhelming things too sometimes, and they’re a completely normal and healthy part of the human experience)

With love and walking this messy and beautiful human journey with my two beautiful kids, one messy and beautiful day at a time,
