I used to feel that men are not as emotional as women are, too.
But the older I get the more I see the error in my thinking. Men used to be raised thinking they have to be the strong one, the tough one. To cry would make them less than a man. So they suck it up.
But today more and more people are getting smarter and accepting that men are human and feel and hurt as much as woman. And crying is good for everyone.
I tell my grandsons to cry and be proud of those tears as that proves they have a loving heart.
Our nine-week-old grandson died two weeks ago. It was due to the negligence of a baby-sitter. I cried until I had no more tears. My husband cried with me. I have a blanket that the baby had most of the time and I cling to it. The other night I saw my husband hugging it. I saw at least fifty grown men crying as they hugged me or walked past my grandson's coffin. The doctor cried at the ER.
He did tell me a while back that he won't talk about my incurable illness because I t hurts him to much to think of live without me . . .that touched my heart in a giant way.
He is very emotional, very kind, and I know there are so many other men out there the same. I do not think that men and women differ in feelings.
