I hate it when people say "S/he didn't even cry at whoever's funeral" like it's some kind of social obligation, or if you don't cry at someone's funeral it means you didn't really care about them. Lots of people don't cry at funerals, period. That's normal, and there's nothing wrong with it.

[roaringmay.livejournal.com]

omg thanks for saying it

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Seriously. People are always comparing their emotional outbursts over X to how they felt when someone in their life died. GRIEF IS COMPLICATED. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT CRYING.

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

So much agreed. Crying doesn't always mean the deepest grief.

[syrenstar.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Grief is weird it shouldn't be measured by how many tissues you soak through at socially convenient time.

OP it can be easier to cry over something small than over something that truly matters to you.

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I try telling this to my family/friends every time there's a death in my life, but everyone's always like "OMG, YOU DIDN'T CRY?! YOU ARE SUCH A ROBOT." Sorry I look at the deaths of real people differently than you do. Jesus. DX

[(Anonymous)]

I totally agree. If anything, it's easier to cry at minor stuff than major stuff.
I never cried when my little brother died, but I can't even count the amounts of times i've burst out sobbing during a tv/anime series/game/movie/book. To me, tears have absolutely no connection with grief.

[everypoembreaks.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? That said, I totally cry at everything - doesn't mean it's all the deepest sadness either. A lot of factors are at play when it comes to determining whether or not someone cries.

[kookaburra1701.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I didn't cry at my dad's funeral. Doesn't mean I didn't love him.

[velvet-mace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was my first thought. I don't cry at funerals either. Often time, by the time the funeral happens there have been many moments where I could grieve. The shock of what happened is past, that is if there was any shock at all -- many of the funerals I've gone to, we'd had months to prepare. You are in public, and a lot of times there is joy and support being together with all the people who matter to you.

And then there's the matter that you are duty bound to attend a whole host of funerals for people who you barely know or aren't that particularly close to simply because they are relatives or family friends.

[masked-creator.livejournal.com]

This. I really don't understand why halves of some couples expect their partner to cry when someone who isn't on their side of the family dies. And just because someone isn't bawling their eyes out it doesn't mean they're not grieving.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Moreover - that she didn't cry at her father-IN-LAW'S funeral? I understand some people are really close to their in-laws, but this isn't the guy who raised her or was HER father.

[accented.livejournal.com]

Adding to the "this" comments. I can bawl over something like Up or a really sad video game, but when I'm really grieving I usually turn into a stone, never answering anyone's questions, etc.
