Whether a family member died or you are watching Marley and Me, crying is a part of life. Tears come when you are laying in bed alone and they come when you are in the bread aisle of the grocery store. Men, don't think just because you are supposedly tough that you are immune to crying. You have tear ducts just like women do.

There are several stages when it comes to crying. Not all of the stages are reached in every crying session. You may also experience different stages than explained here. This is completely normal. Crying is normal. Grab some Kleenex and chocolate and have yourself a good cry!
