it was so sad I could´ve cried. but I didn´t.. I don´t even cry at funerals... I wonder why? but I shed my tears for other things.. I´ve experienced so many sad things in my life and I didn´t cry. But still.. I cry over small things.. well my mind´s stange I guess...

    I cried when he died but I didn't even cry at my grandpas funeral....does that make me a bad person?

    I don´t think that something like this will make you a bad person.. well you can´t choose when you cry..

    You are definitely NOT a bad person. How we handle grief and loss is a very personal matter. There is no "right" way to do it except what is right for you. When my mother died, I took my sons to Disney World. I thought that if my mother was watching them, she would rather enjoy seeing them have fun than seeing them cry. So, we celebrated all the happy times we were able to share with her. We laughed and told stories of the fun things we did together. Sure, we had moments of tears when we would realize how much we miss her, but we always have those happy memories to get us through the sad moments. As for crying over little things, I think most of us do that. When we feel helpless, see injustice, empathize with others, or if we have hurt others without meaning to, crying is a natural response. I don't cry over death because I don't see it as a bad thing. It is an inevitable part of living, no one gets out of life alive. If your tears help you to heal, cry. If you don't need tears, don't cry. But don't ever let anyone convince you that crying is the only "right way" to grieve.
