Answer 1

sure you don'thave to cry.

Answer 2

Everyone handles grief differently. I don't cry at funerals for those I don't know well (like a distant relative). I cried a LOT at my father's funeral 10 years ago and very little at my mother's (2 years ago). My mom suffered a lot before she died and I grieved then.

As for eating, many churches and cultures provide a meal for all of those who attended the funeral. It gives those attending a chance to relax a little and visit. The 'stressful' stuff is over (the funeral and burial). Life goes on. So, I don't find it funny at all. (funny ha-ha or funny peculiar)

Answer 3

People express emotions in different ways and some don't express them at all. I don't think there's a standard rule. I happen to cry at funerals, especially if it's someone very close to me. I was devastated at the loss of my grandparents and my nephew. Those losses hurt me terribly and I wasn't able to control my emotions, so I cried easily and was somewhat inconsolable. Some of my family members didn't cry at all, it doesn't mean they weren't sadden or hurting, it means they weren't as expressive as I was.

We did and do gather after funerals and eat, it's part of our culture. I don't think it's rather funny. It's a family gathering as odd as it may be. Good luck. 2D

Answer 4

We all react differently, neither is right or wrong. Sometimes it makes people feel better to let their grieve out by crying and others hold it in more or grieve when they are alone. It is important to grieve, however, no matter how you do it. It's essential to getting over the loss of someone.

Answer 6

It's okay not to cry. I didn't cry at my father's funeral two years ago and I loved him and miss him very much.

Answer 7

Everyone handles death differently. It is okay if you don't cry. This does not mean that you don't care. A lot of us know that they are in a better place now. No more problems to deal with, no more pain. They are indeed in a much better place.

Answer 8

Do vegetables cry ? - no probably not - so why would you want them to cry at funerals ?
People like you who cry at least can take something as granted
