"My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;" Proverbs 2:1-2 ESV I am a forty-year-old man.

And to everyone who's lost a loved one, know that it's okay to grieve in your own time and your own way. Today, I celebrate my dad's life, cherishing every moment we had. Hold your loved ones close, cherish the memories, and let love guide you through. The message below is my ode to grief and the complexity that comes with it. Grief is a complex emotional process that can affect anyone, regardless of gender, age, or background. However, societal norms and expectations often influence how different genders process and express their grief. Men, in particular, are frequently faced with unique challenges when coping with loss
