In this poignant and deeply introspective season finale of Break the Silence, Build a Future, I delve into the contrast between societal expectations of how one should grieve and the reality of my own experience. When I first learned on June 5, 2023, that my daughter's husband had been arrested for her murder after she had been missing for twelve days, I felt an overwhelming coldness that drove me to wrap myself in heavy blankets, even in the heat of summer. Yet, I did not cry. It wasn't until the judge's decision at the preliminary hearing—despite it being the best outcome I could have hoped for—that the tears finally came.

In this episode, I explore the complex emotions surrounding grief and loss, particularly the notion that tears are a measure of love. I ask, as honestly as possible, how a mother should react when faced with the unimaginable loss of a child. Through my story, I hope to offer comfort and understanding to others who may feel guilty for not grieving in the "expected" way. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on the ways we cope, the pressures we face, and the importance of allowing ourselves to grieve in our own way.
