my grandmother died yesterday. and i haven`t cried. I do feel sad, but the tears don`t come.

Youre a heartless sob n we should kill you know before you turn out to be a robot whos sentient.
Seriously though, relax. Dont fret about such a silly thing

thanks i guess, but this hasn`t been the first time.

It happens, maybe you're just not a crier.

that happened to me too. my grandmother died, so did my grandfather, my uncle as well died, yet i didnt shed a single tear. I remember my english teacher asking us one by one what would we feel if our loved one died. i was the only one that answered happiness.
everyone stared at me. my teacher found my answer interesting and asked me why.
i told her that i am happy once a l;oved one died because they would be free. free from this world, sickness, pain, sadness, misunderstandings and all that jazz. she thanked me for my honesty but peoples views cant be easily changed.

>>5 thats a interesting point of view, have you always had this view?

Maybe you're in too much shock to cry...?

Some people just don't show emotion much. Especially when it's something like sadness or hurt. I hide my emotions simply because I don't want to bother other people with my pain. It also depend how close you are to the person. For instance, my father died about 3 years ago and it hurt a lot, but when my uncle died I barely felt anything. If you have experienced the death of a loved one before sometimes you just learn to except it. As an answer to your question, there is nothing wrong with you, you simply didn't choose to express your emotions by crying.

It might just be me, but I view death as a part of life. It could have been due to me being suicidal before, but everyone dies. Why fret over something you can't change, oh and when my grandma died I didn't really feel sad. I just cherished the good things about her.

>>7 This. Or maybe it's just your nature. You'll probably get the tears coming at the funeral, when the death finally hits you. Sorry for your loss :T

Nothing is wrong with you, some people are like this including myself. You may cry at the funeral, you may cry when it actually hits you or you may not even cry at all. I'm generally the last of the three, people have referred to me as a "heartless bastard" on several occasions, but the fact is some people just dont need to cry, they've come to an understanding of life and death that most people cant, and sometimes they don't even know that they have come to this realization. Yes i'm sad that they went but at the same time i'm happy that they no longer need to deal with the day to day bs that goes on.

My grandma died back in March, I didn't do so either until the funeral.

Sometimes it just takes a while to set in, don't feel bad about it.

yeah same here i dindt cry and i thought that there was something wrong with me but when the funeral came i cried like a baby

bump

Some people understand this. I didn't cry at my grandmother's funeral, and I loved her. I just couldn't cry.

>>1 I wouldn't worry about it too much. As the others said, just some people don't cry like they feel they should. Besides crying doesn't necessarily mean you are sad and being sad doesn't mean you have to cry. The same thing happened with my grandfather. I love him very much, but when he died I just couldn't cry.

no its not you the same thinbg happened to me like i had used up all my tears

Since this is still up here, it's very normal. Everyone has a different way of dealing with their emotions. When I'm seriously injured, I laugh and smile like a maniac. When someone in my family dies, I go dead silent and stare at people, well, more than usual. In general my gut reaction to those sort of things isn't sadness but anger. People will react in different ways depending on who they are and how they truly feel about someone, but most will be sad/cry/or otherwise remain in solemn unhappiness out of respect for the departed and their survivors.

well when i was 7 my grandma died.
i didn't want to think that she died
anyways i didnt even cry not even once
youre not the only person that has done that many other people are like that like how the people above posted

May people are like you. when I was six one of my best friends died of cancer, and I didn't cry. A few years ago I remembered that and suddenly felt really bad because I didn't cry, until I realized that not crying doesn't mean I didn't love him. I know I loved him - and you know you loved your grandmother, so what you do is not important as long as i makes you feel better.

thank you everyone for telling me this. I haven't viewed my thread in a long time and thought no one would understand I see know I was wrong. Thank you so much.

I have to tell you guys I've just entered college and were reading a book about death it really isn't helping me having to hear the teacher talk about death everyday.

That happens. People deal with grief differently. In my opinion it shows strength but at the same time I would NEVER say that crying shows weakness. We are all wired differently >>2 although not like a robot...... More of a cyborg/human hybrid ;)

tell the teacher that it makes you uncomfortable

>>22 that's what friends are for. <3 were here for you, always.
