It’s OK To Cry
Today, Laura Fanucci will look more closely at the idea that we all grieve differently—and even that it’s ok to weep, looking at the story of King David crying at the death of his son (2 Samuel 18:31-33, 19:1-4). The king’s tears and cries—his outward mourning for his son—leads to communal mourning. David is unashamed to express his deep love and grief, and his public weeping draws in others as well.
