Content: Once you know the cause, acknowledge to yourself and to those close to you that you are grieving. Pretending that everything is OK when it really isn't can cause you additional stress and will force you to repress the feelings you are experiencing. But these feelings will eventually appear in unhealthy ways like depression, anxiety, and anger. 2. Allow yourself to cry. When you feel teary, let yourself cry. Tears are the body’s release valve for stress, sadness, grief, anxiety and frustration. In fact, emotional tears get rid of stress hormones and other harmful toxins caused by stress. Those who won't let themselves cry during times of sadness and grief are contributing to the buildup of stress hormones and weakening their bodies’ immune system which can lead to stress-induced disorders. Psychologists have known for a long time that weeping is an important part of confronting your grief and healing it.
