Is this strange?

[ashonfire]

Nope.

People grieve in different ways. There's no right way or wrong way.

Hope you're doing alright, piggy.

 

[Ram]

Nope.

People grieve in different ways.

Yup.

I don't cry at funerals.

 

[Fucker29]

It's not strange. In fact, it's more common than you think. Like ashonfire stated already, people grieve in different ways and go through different stages of grief.

 

[wirega56]

NO, if you had no affection for them. Regardless it is sad when someone passes away so and respect for that is all that is needed.

 

[gmoney]

It's not strange at all. Like others have already said, we grieve in different ways.

I cried like a baby when my mom died, but I couldn't cry at the funeral.

When my brother died, it was about the same. I cried at first for a short time, but not again.

 

[DracoBlack]

I don't think it's strange.

I didn't cry when my uncle died and I've known him my whole life. I cried for 2 days when my friend died last year. I met him in 2007 and only spent four days with him before he left to study abroad.

Not shedding a tear for the loss of a relative.

I didn't cry when my father passed away and we were really close. Actually, one hour after I received the news via phone, I competed in a moot crt competition (and won!). Some folks cry as soon as it happens, some folks cry later when the shock has worn off, and some folks never shed the first tear. We all grieve differently.

I assume you've lost a loved one. Hang in there Pig. I'll be thinking about you.

 

[Yuki Sohma]

No..................................

 

[JustWes]

Yup.

I don't cry at funerals.

Me neither. Wow. I must not be that much of an emotional person.

 

[Fire]

Well, I think it's strange You guys must be emotionally frigid or something, because I cry like a baby when someone I know dies.

 

[justsimon]

No. Sometimes it takes a while for things to settle in or for the shock to wear off. You're probably grieving in your own way.

A close friend of mine died when I was 19. I didn't cry about it until a few years later when I found a birthday card from her.

 

[Joshua_me]

Our responses are what they are.

^Exactly.

You feel and respond whatever is right for you....

My Dad passed over a couple of years ago. I didn't cry or fall apart, I just sat and thought about how transitory life is...

But hey, that's just me.

Don't EVER feel guilty about how you respond to things like that, piggy. Feel what YOU want to feel, and to heck with anyone else trying to make you feel differently

K ?

 

[EveretteB1975]

When i first heard that my mother died i didn't cry but a few days later at the awake i cried like a baby.

 

[Beachguyj]

I didn't cry at my grandparents funeral. They had a long, good life. My cousins and sister were crying a bit, and my father welled up a little bit too.

 

[TygreBryte]

*Whew*. Easter Sunday on JUB is starting to get to me.

Piggy, I hope you're well.

 

[Triple G]

So sorry Piggy

I cried my self out before my mothers funeral with my closest friends, and had no reaction when the ceremony came. Seemed strange to me, but I was at peace.

 

[Joshua_me]

It's strange to see the people I knew as a kid start dying all around me.

It IS...

One of the weird things about getting older is that the list of people you used to know and now are dead grows longer and longer....

It's freaky and depressing, but there not a whole lot you can do about it.

 

[The_Reaper]

Depends...

When my father phoned me to tell me that his mother/my grandmother had passed away, I didn't shed any tears. Granted, it was a long battle she had with illness and we all knew it was going to happen within a matter of days; so perhaps I had some padding about the event.

I do know however, that once at the funeral, that was it: I broke down about mid-eulogy.

 

[hermanding]

not strange, piggy. I did not cry when my mother died.
