How Ugly Crying Helps

I do know enough grieving people, that when they say they had a “breakdown” it means they had some “ugly” tears.  Today ugly tears are talked about in contrast to a gentle rolling of tears down your cheek.  The term “ugly” tears could include anger, wailing, fear, and loss of control. No matter what the “term,” the feeling we have when we cry from the gut is what “ugly” crying is all about.
