Is it bad to cry?

Question

My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma about a year ago. Sometimes I cry about it, thinking about the worst that could happen. He is only 53, and I am a teenager. Is that bad to cry about it beacause I'm think about the worst that could happen to him?

Answer 1

no its not bad to cry at all dont worry and im sorry about ur dad give u the best of luck

Answer 2

It's silly to cry about a new zit, or a boy that doesn't respond the way you hoped when you flirted, or some girl disses you, but you are facing
every human beings worst fear. We all know we will have to face it, but that doesn't make it any easier. I'm a lot older than you, but when I lost my parents, that didn't matter. Think about it, until you have a child, your parents are your 2 favorite people ( for most people anyway, I know there's somebody out there that wants to blast me for saying that, but that's the way it should be). As long as he knows how you feel, you'll be able to handle what ever happens. You should cry. This is a very sad time, and you fear losing somebody you obviously love very much.

Oh you poor thing!!! I just lost my Father in June he was just 53 also, he died from Lung Cancer. If I can offer you any advice at all I would say, cry, cry all that you want to but it's important to ALWAYS have a positive outlook on situations like these.
People survive from cancer everyday, I'm not going to lie to you and tell you not to be worried, but the the fact is that you shouldn't just dwell on what "could" happen to your Father. You should cherish the time that God gives you together whether it be 1 more day or 40 more years.
Although I grieve my Dads death everyday, the one true thing that I can say is that cancer allowed him to die without any regrets, this AWFUL disease that we call Cancer, took away the most important person in my life but it allowed me to love him more than ever, to listen to him more, and to understand him more, without Cancer, I feel that none of this would have ever been possible, sad, yet true for most cancer victims.
A lot of times when people die their loved ones don't get to say that final goodbye well, cancer gives you that chance.
Although completely natural,
Don't think of Cancer as a Death Sentence,
yet take it for what it is, an opportunity to show each other how your TRULY feel about one another!
Just think of the situation like this; if your dad had a year to live, would you rather spend that year feeling sorry for yourself and for him or would you rather spend that last year getting to know your Father more than ever, making every Holiday and Birthday the best it could possibly be, praying like you've never prayed before and loving him more than you ever thought possible.
Although we didn't know that just 15 months after my Dads diagnose he would be gone, we treated every day like it may be our last with him, and I hope your family chooses to do the same!
Best of Luck to you, your family, and most importantly your Dad.

Actually, crying is a form of stress release. When u cry, a so called 'crying' hormone that removes ur depression rolls out of the eyes together with the tears, bringing u 2 relieve. So whenever u wanna cry, don't hesitate 2 do it (i mean, not in the public). Maybe considering going 2 a quiet place where nobody sees u.

Answer 5

No it's not bad to cry! Cry to let your emotions out. Enjoy good times with your father, and don't let the thought of him having that get in the way! Live for the present. Don't keep on thinking about the worst possible scenarios! Enjoy your time with him!

Answer 6

Everyone handles things differnetly and considering that it is cancer most people think the worst. It's o.k. to cry but I think you should try to be positive around your dad. I think some people can give up and think it is hopeless when people ar crying around them. But I guess you would know your dad better than anyone. He might take it as a sign of love too. Good luck.

Answer 7

You have to cry and it is healthy. God gave people emotions and all of those feelings are healthy from anger, crying to depression. Without those feeling you could not manage and balance your life. They are necessary like hunger, pain and fright. Keep faith as it is the hardest to seek out. There are so many new treatments. I just found out my cancer is gone...not arrested. Good luck! You both will be in my thoughts, optimism and prayers. By the way...I never believed that prayer worked. Now I do!

Answer 8

Of course it's not bad to cry. You are young and, although we all die someday, coming face to face with the prospect of losing your dad is very scary. Crying is a very personal outlet. It helps us get emotions and fears and even helps us express joy from time to time.
I sincerly hope your dad is one of the millions of survivors who succesfully fight lymphoma and other cancers every day.

Answer 9

No, let it out.

I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 46. I had chemo and radiation, and I'm doing ok now, 2 years later.

I wish you and your Dad all the best.

Answer 10

not at all.my mom got cancer at 33.i was 13.i cried for a long time because you naturally think that the worst is going to happen.but i'm not going to say that crying makes everything go away cause it doesn't,but it does relieve some of the stress so no it's not bad to cry.

Answer 11

Crying is good and it is a way to cleanse your sould and make you feel better. You must be very close to your dad. Maybe you should just tell him how much he means to you. If you dont feel comfortable telling him in person, you could write him a letter.
I am a cancer nurse and I know you must be going thru a lot.
Prayers to you and your dad.
