One of my favorite quotes:

“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”

― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Cry, Katy, cry. Cry as often as you need, whenever you need, for as long as you need. Your tears are creating space for joy just as they show honor for the love you hold so dear.

Hugs,
