There is a stubborn myth<\/a><\/span> in our culture that men don\u2019t grieve and that men aren\u2019t allowed to express emotions of sadness, tenderness, and heartbreak. \u00a0These two myths isolate men in their grief with few healthy ways to process their losses. Loss is a part of every life. Grief is cumulative. \u00a0If we don\u2019t deal with it we will find it seeping into other areas of our lives, often in messy ways.
