Repost: Anger or Sadness? Or Both?

We live in an angry society.

Social media is full of rants about this and that.  Television blares raised voices shouting over one another in what passes for news coverage.  T-shirts are emblazoned with one-liners intended to provoke others.

We tolerate and even embrace anger as a legitimate emotion.

Yet we rarely make room for mourning.  We hide our tears.  We shame those who don’t hide theirs as “weak” and “soft” and “cowardly” or worse.

  2. My middle child is oh so angry….I desperately worry about him as I know it is a deep sadness within him about his brother’s death and oh so many things.
    It is very hard not to crumble under a barrage of angry words when we, his family are struggling too. My hope is in God, that he will see him this and still his angry heart 💔
