There is nothing wrong with having a good cry.

It's a normal response to things that are sad, and even though there are good things in your life too, as you recognize, that doesn't mean you don't also need to feel the emotions associated with the former. So yes, take the time you need to honor those emotions. I'll be joining Sunshine in that wine and chocolate bar toast to you.

You are being a super woman to everyone but you. Let May be your month - a month to celebrate sadness, happiness, craziness... It's so hard to admit to anyone, especially ourselves, that we are fragile, sad and lonely. You are so brave for wearing your emotions on the outside.
