I dont cry during most funiruls?

Question

wen my realatives die i dont cry im sad but i nevr cry of course i would cry if my parents died but those r the only people is there something wrong with me

Answer 1

no, nothing wrong with you. people handle situations differently. my friend actually laughed at her grandfathers funeral, not cuz she thought it was funny, just cuz. ive only been to 3 funerals - 2 to friends, one who was 20 and one who was 19. they died in separate car accidents. i balled my eyes out at their funerals - because they were young like me, they had so much going for them, so much yet to experience, because i was in shock, etc. the third funeral was one i went to yesterday. it was for my great grandfather. i shed a couple of tears and that is it. i was at peace with his passing. he had lung cancer that spread to his brain, and in the weeks before his death, he was in alot of pain. he was two weeks shy of his 90th birthday and had lived a long and full life. i know that he was ready to go and although i didn't make it in time to say goodbye properly, after he had gone i sat down in the dark and quiet and said good bye to him. people will always react differently, so don't feel like there is something wrong with you just because you reacted differently than those around you.

Answer 2

Everyone is different. A family friend of ours died of a sudden heart attack 2 weeks ago..when we got the call it hit me really hard because I had just seen him the week before at his grandsons 1st birthday party and he was always happy and cheerful, the life of the party and I couldn't believe that when i hugged and kissed him good bye that that would be the last time i spoke to him....when i first talked to his children, it was hard because i was sad and i didn't want to make them feel worse, and of course as i called them to offer my condolenses i started balling and i made them cry but then when we were at the wake about 3 or 4 days later, and i saw his casket, i didn't cry..i was sad but i didn't cry..and his family seemed good too. I actually talked to his daughter today and she told me she was doing better and that with all the people around it didn't really hit her until she went back home after the funeral.........that is usually when it hits most, after everything is said and done and you realize that you will never see them again..but it depends on how close you were to the person....when my grandmother passed i was sad but i didn't cry, when i did cry was when i saw my dad break down because we could have left ASAP when we got the call thats she was really sick and he was a greyhound bus driver at the time and he decided to finish his run, by the time we got down there, we were like 5hrs too late and it killed him.....but we live in IN and she lived in NC so we only saw her maybe 1nce a yr...

Answer 3

I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY !!! "I FEEL THE O N L Y persons that I have ANY blood relation to that if they died I'd cry over or for is MY PARENTS !!! For THEY are the reason that I came to be !!. I have no idea why I'm this way!?! Or feel this way !?! But I DO NOT FEEL BAD for it !!!! if anything YOU MAY LOVE ALL OF YOUR FAMILY !! It's just the emotional attachment I feel is what plays the biggest part in your hearl-felt emotions !! Do'nt feel ashamed !! or TOo bad about it !! " I'll bet you'd have a street fight alongside a relative before you would a stranger!?! Other than it being human kindness or your just feeling it's the right thing to do!?! do'nt let it get you down t0o bad !! The ONLY family member that I will cry over or for is MY MOTHER when she passes !!!!! I've let this be known to my Aunts,Uncles,cousins!! etc. `'R"r,r`r.r'r,r` I LOVE ALL OF MY FAMILY !!! I really have no answer that if I thought about it would wonder if I should really feel this way.. guess it's just one way of blocking hurt also`'R'`r.r`r,'->

Answer 4

That's completely normal .you may be dont cry because at the moment of the funeral you cant really imagine that one of your relatives had died but dont worry that's normal.

You should remeber that SADNESS IS INSIDE YOUR HEART NOT BY YOUR ACTIONS ......

Answer 5

No, your just strong. Your probably looking on the up side, while other people are looking at the down. Like they are in a better place, while they think, OMG THEY ARE GONE FOREVER!!!
So, your normal, so don't feel bad. You take things different.

Answer 6

Like you said if you where close to that person then you would cry,it all depends on how well you know them.

Answer 7

People cry, some don't. It depends on the person and they way they're brought up.

Answer 8

Nothing is wrong with you. i am the same way. In fact, I have never even cried at a funeral. Don't worry about nothing is wrong it's just how you control your emotions.

Answer 9

No, I mean maybe its depending on what you cry for.
If that person was a part of your life was there for
you then maybe you would cry.

Answer 10

Don't be too hard on yourself. People deal with grief in different ways.
