Many men were taught to be strong, not vulnerable.

To keep going. To stay busy. To hold it together.

So when grief comes, talking about it can feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or even wrong.

Grief does not become smaller when it is hidden.

Every person deserves the space to grieve, to be heard, and to heal.

Men included.
