“Work harder.”
“Stop crying.”
All common messages men grew up hearing – and internalizing – over time.
In this article, we dive into the reasons why “tough love” can make it harder to process loss, harming boys and men alike. Whether you’re here to process your own grief, or here to support a friend, brother, father, or partner, we explain how “tough love” may be blocking men from processing loss from their lives.
