Cry

Luisa A. Igloria

In Japan, you can hire a handsome guy to cry with you—he'll offer Kleenex, wipe your tears, lay his head on the table beside yours.  In the office conference room, you and your colleagues are sobbing at the end a short film about a father who can't be with his dying  daughter because she doesn't know who he is. There's something about crying or allowing yourself to be seen like this in public. In my hometown,   you can hire rofessional mourners who'll come and sit in a row at the wake  of your loved ones, tear their clothing or beat their breasts as they start   the public grieving. How are they so easily and literally moved to tears?  Barely three months since my mother's death, and I don't feel like I've really   cried yet. Sometimes my cheeks are wet when I'm behind the wheel and paused  at a traffic light, or when my husband wakes me in the middle of a wrenching   dream. Sometimes it's hard to give ourselves permission to be vulnerable until  reminded of how even the beautiful ones feel the pain of trying to endure.
