Answer 1

i am sorry for your lost.. but it alright not cry.. My grandfather past away last year and when i found i cry and when i was funeral i was miss him a lot but i know he is in better places.. and me seeing my grandma unset made me wanted to cry.. because i am really close to my grandma and my grandfather.. and then in Nov my dad mom past away.. i cry when i found out.. and i kind of knew because she was sick at that time.. I had three funeral in one year that just bad.. and the third was my great grandma.. and that my dad grandma.. So i had lost a lot of feeling that year... and in a lot of pain.. but i went on with my life.. You will always remember your aunt.. no matter what the problem is and you would be think of her all the time.. think of the good time.. and think of how you made mistake and tell you what to do to correct it

Just remember she can see you and watch you so you do not get into making mistakes.. and she happy where she is... I had a lot of grief in one year..

Answer 2

By no means is it wrong to NOT cry at a loved one's funeral. For some people, it takes a while for things to sink in. Grief can manifests in many different forms, and it doesn't always have to be in tears, and certainly not right away.

It is possible that your mind could subconsciously be trying to make sense of everything that has happened, which could be why your reactions at this time are seemingly different from everyone else's.

Give yourself enough time to really take in everything, and don't worry if the tears don't come right away or even for a long time. The important thing is that you realize how much you loved your aunt, and take comfort in knowing that she is in a better place, like some others have already mentioned.

My condolences to you and your family. Take care. =)

Answer 3

Not at all, you don't have to cry at funerals. The grieving process is a very personal thing to go through. Some people have no difficulty in showing emotion whereas others are more reserved and tend to grieve in private. What's important is that you loved and respected your aunt while she was alive ..... a funeral is a celebration and memorial of someones life.

Answer 4

I had the same reaction to my Grandmother's funeral. It took me a couple of years before I actually cried. I think it was because I did not fully accept she was passed on. I was more in shock, then one day, it hit me.

Take care and may your aunt rest in peace. Sorry for your loss.

Answer 5

Not at all, sometimes u cry afterwards or when u come across a pic of the person.
U probably felt your aunt was in a better place , your kin cried tears of joy and sadness.

Answer 6

We all deal with grief differently.

Nothing is wrong.

Just be sure you are not pushing emotions you have down.

It is ok to cry, or not cry.

It is what you feel in your heart that really matters.

Answer 7

No everyone handles grief in their own way, it doesn't mean you didn't love your aunt. Sorry for your loss.

Answer 8

I don't think it's wrong, It just hits some people harder then others. Even dow you have the same love as they do for her.

Answer 9

Don't feel bad. Just because you didn't cry doesn't mean you don't love her. Maybe it just hasn't hit you yet, that's she's gone.

Answer 10

No not wrong , maybe a delayed reaction or you know she is much happier where she is now!
