Letting your grief out will help you keep alive

My kids often complained about my complaining. However, it's a family trait that helps us not die. I've noticed how many people I know who never complained just dropped dead one day surprising everyone.

Unless you let out your grief it kills you. I noticed this with people from World War II who couldn't talk about their grief and loss. Often they died very early or were very difficult people to be around especially for children. When you saw them often you would just run.

Letting out my pain I learned from my father who would let out his pain every day at the dinner table first by complaining and then second by making fun of his pain. So, I learned to make fun of my pain and make people laugh in some ways like my father. This can be very healthy to not only let your pain out but to laugh about it even if it is gallows humor.

You have to laugh at how ridiculous it is to be a human being here on earth to even want to stay alive.

This is just how it really is to be a human being.

Letting your grief out and laughing about it and making fun of it will keep you alive through all of this!
