Okay, I’m talking to the kids today. Have you ever noticed that sometimes when we’re sad on the inside, we act grumpy on the outside?
Eighteen-year-old Rachel's mother and brother were telling her how hard it was to get along with her lately. Her mom had started dating a guy and it made her miss her father who had died. But instead of being sad and sharing her grief with her family, she got grumpy and cranky. When your heart hurts the best way to deal with it is to actually be sad. Being grouchy just creates more problems. So, talk with someone you trust about your sadness. Give your heart a chance to find comfort.
