Lament vs. Despair: A Conversation with Michael Thornhill

There seems to be a fear around sadness. And not just being sad, but truly grieving. Somehow these emotions were deemed bad or unhealthy; that we shouldn't embody them, feel them or allow ourselves to even have them. When we see someone hurting, someone deep in anguish and grief, we want to look away or minimize or offer a shortcut to escape.
