When I wrote my book “Consumed; Almost the Perfect Murder” I had to relive all the experiences and emotions all over again. I cried a lot of tears again, but it felt very healing too. I stumbled across this piece on the internet and wrote it down –  the benefit of tears.

“A good cry lightens the heart”

We have known for a long time that a good cry makes us feel better. Scientists have even confirmed this years ago. Tears help us get rid of hormones that make us sad. Physiology aside, though, sometimes it just seems like we need to cry. It’s part of a process of feeling sad and then getting past it. We don’t need to be embarrassed by our tears. They come for a reason, and we need to let them flow!
