I was recently told one of my favorite older cousin who i havent seen in like 2 a year or 2 had comitted suicide. When I was told I felt more curious than sad really.. I felt pretty bad as my mom was telling me this while in tears and i had no emotion on my face and i knew i wasnt going to cry, so i went to my room... I feel so weird about this stuff, when my little brother died a few years ago i barely shed a tear on the spot, but as time came the tears did too, but he was my little brother who i saw everyday so maybe thats why....i dont know this is weird and i dont wanna feel like a robot around my family
It's not only you. I didn't cry when my grandma died right away but with time I did. Everyone just handles things differently. Just because we don't cry on the spot doesn't mean we're any less sad. I'm sorry to hear about that bro. That's beat to say the least... I wish you and your family well.
well all put on our masks, but john lennon said it best, "you cant hide when your crippled inside".. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7v0O8M5vKc&feature=related
Things affect everyone differently. When my grandma died when I was seven (in 2000), I cried like crazy because I missed her. Everyone doesn't cry, but that doesn't make you a robot or make you an uncaring person. If I were you, I'd sit down and talk to your mother so she knows how you feel and doesn't assume you don't care.
I totally agree. If you told your mom "Wow, I can't believe ____ died. I'm just in shock." she would understand. I'm the exact opposite. I cry looking at obituaries.
I'm exactly the same with my emotions. At first I feel very very numb and concious of exactly how I should be feeling, and overwhelmingly confused as to why i'm not. Time passes, and the hole opens. Really strange. Either way - I'm really sorry to hear that man =( Hope you're holding up okay and stuff now.
I was like that when my grandad died nearly 5 years ago. I felt numb at the start, didn't cry much at all but then when time had passed all the emotion came. And now I'm past his death I don't cry anymore.
