Some people do not allow you to grieve.  I have a family member that I can’t cry around.  They get very upset when I cry. I have discussed this with them and asked them permission to grieve, and they say of course.  Yet, they still have not come to accept my grieving.  As a result, I hold my tears back.  I am praying for God to take away this family members deep inner pain.  Sometimes you just need a friend to share in your grief.

“So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.  Job 2:13 NKJV
