In times of grief, it is essential to remember that shedding tears for someone you love is not a sign of weakness but a reflection of a pure heart. This sentiment is beautifully expressed by José N. Harris in his book "MI VIDA: A Story of Faith, Hope and Love." Grieving is a natural and human response that does not diminish our worth, as Sarah Dessen eloquently reminds us in "The Truth About Forever."
