After celebrating my mother this weekend, I was offered a lot of wisdom and advice about grief and how to move forward, but this one struck me.

We spend so much of our lives trying to avoid grief and uncomfortable feelings. What if that grief and those feelings were actually your greatest teachers?

And what if that grief is the reminder of how much love there was between you and the person you have lost. It’s our body’s way of processing and remembering.

Don’t avoid it. Lean into it. Let it out. And remember, while your grief is personal to you, it may not look like anyone else’s. And you never have to go through it alone.

Stats don’t lie. Keeping your sh*t inside is only hurting you brother.

The stigma is that if we talk about, it will hurt more or open the flood gates.

When the truth is that if you don’t talk about it, it will fester, grow and poison you from the inside out, until it’s “too late” or “doesn’t matter anymore.”

You f’n matter dude!

We need you.

We need your pain, your shadows, your darkness, your vulnerability, your fear, your courage, your wisdom, your heart. It’s all medicine.

You gotta feel to heal.

And when you do, you give other men permission to do the same.

Stay. Be here tomorrow.

If you or someone you know are at risk of harming yourself or someone else, please call the su***de hotline for support . DIAL 988. Stay.

“PLEASE READ: I want to make it clear, I am very much okay now. I am happy, healthy and have done the work, I’m simply sharing this to be a voice for others. Nonetheless this was extremely hard for me to share, especially on social media, but I’ve felt called to do so.

This is part of The Story I’m In, past and present. I made a commitment to tell my story in the hope that it reaches people.

In this case, I’m sharing it for Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

I want to be clear: I understand that the majority of sexual assault victims are women, committed by men and I am not taking away from or diminishing those stories. I am simply sharing my own.

If this story reaches even one man who has experienced something similar and helps him feel less alone, then it was worth sharing.”

Words of Power, Courage & Healing from Tristan Uechtritz
Thank you Tristan for being the change needed in the world.

Me too dude. Me too.

Great work grief, sweat, & tears 🙏
•
As seen in New York Post !!!!! 💀💪🏼💧

“It’s an exclusive club no one wants to be a member of.

That’s how several people explained why they were at a “Grief, Sweat, & Tears” event this spring, at which about 25 men and women met up for a double-header barre and spin class.

When everyone gathered in the lobby to chat afterward, sweaty and smiling, conversation flowed as naturally as it would at a bar — but death and grief were the main topics, with people trading stories about lost loved ones.” -

“Most people imagine mental illness in a man like the stereotypical….sitting in a dark room, unable to get out of bed, openly talking about his depression, anxiety, or trauma.

But that’s not what I ever see.

What I see are good men who are suffering, but neither they nor the people around them recognize it as true suffering…because men are really good at faking it.

To the wives reading this:
I know these behaviors can be incredibly frustrating…they can leave you feeling unseen, disconnected, controlled, criticized, or alone in your marriage.

This isn’t an excuse for unhealthy behavior…but sometimes the husband you’re experiencing isn’t simply stubborn, selfish, or unwilling…sometimes he’s struggling with real mental illness but he just knows how to hide it.

Sometimes he’s been taught his entire life that strength means suppressing weakness, hiding emotions, and pushing through pain.

If you’re a man reading this, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Please reach out if you need support.”

A man who buried his daughter now hands joy to strangers.

Let that sink in.

Bear created a word in the middle of his grief. JoyTeeTude. Joy + Gratitude.

An attitude of joy and gratitude through ALL of life’s experiences. Not just the good ones.

Now he hands wooden coins to strangers and says “Have a JoyTeeTudely Delightful Day.”

And they light up. Every time.

Full episode out now. Link in bio. 🤙
