Can you cry at funerals?
 

I can't. I don't know why..

My father just passed away on the 31st, we had his funeral yesterday

I couldn't cry :disgust and yes, I was very close to him... I did cry alone, just not infront of people.

What about you?


RIP Dad.

Haven't yet, but there are people that would cause me to cry.

Ya I am like that to Evil Doer, I don't know why either just the way I am I suppose. It isn't that I am cold hearted or anything.

I dunno.....

Awww I'm sorry to hear about your dad :( My dad died when I was 12. All the best to you and yours.

And yes, I can cry at funerals.

Thanks Jenn, it must have been extremely hard at 12 with your dad passing away :Oh crap

yes i do cry most especially when it is someone dear to me...RIP on your Dad.

I had to put my dog down a year ago and i cried like a motherfucker but before that it was like 10 years of no crying :)

Sorry to hear about your pops :(

i can't either, its not until later that it really kicks in, sorry to hear about your dad.

my condolences, sorry to hear about your dad. i always fear that day, but at previous family funerals i have never cried despite feeling really close :(

Sorry about your Father...When my Father was killed 5 years ago, I cried like a little boy.

I didn't cry much at my husband's funeral but that is because I tend to go really quiet when I am upset. Some people deal with things that way. Later on I had a bug out moment but when people weren't watching me.

I didn't cry at my grandfather's funeral until the moment they lowered the casket and then I was out of control.

Sorry to hear about your father. It really depends who it is. If is someone who meant alot to me, then yeah, I will shed a tear. Especially if someone tells a heart felt amazing story, like the time the guy saved the world by drilling 800 feet into an asteroid and detonating the nuclear bomb in time to save the world.

After all, the whole point of a funeral is to celebrate someones life and there is some sadness knowing they won't be sharing any more of those special moments with you. But if it's for someone I don't know, like a distant relative or friend of a friend, then no.

It all depends.

same way at my uncle's, I got really upset when they actually lowered the casket into the ground. They stopped doing it for that reason :Oh crap

i cry a lot, can't stay calm

Sorry to hear about your father... I'm not much of a cryer myself.

wow, sorry too hear that, but i got your point...everyone has a way to deal with it

i dont cry at funerals too....it'll take me like a couple of days to realize who have passed away and that's when i start to grieve. i do cry but i do it when im alone....


sorry to hear about your father though....:(

Yes, I can't stay calm.This year I cried at my best friends funeral.. and I also cried on the dad's boyfriend of my sister (he happens to be a friend of mine too) funeral. I just couldn't keep it seeing how everyone was suffering.

very sorry for your loss!!
I cry sometimes yes....

I tend to not cry at the funeral. Sometimes it takes me years to actually break down and grieve. My grandmother, to whom I was exceptionally close (she raised me), died of liver cancer in 1997 and I still have really yet to grieve for her. Matter of fact, I've not really grieved for anyone in a long time. :(

i cried at my papas, i was very close to him, and i usally cry everytime i goto visit his grave. he taughty me how to golf, made my own clubs when i was 6. very close. i have only been to i think 3 funerals. the others didnt really bother me.

some psychologist would say u would have problems later cause u keep it inside

but i think that´s bullshit

I'm like you... may your fater R.I.P :(

Yes.. I cried when my grandfather died

My condolences :( Yes I do cry at funerals...

Sorry about your father.

I've cried at funerals before. It shouldn't matter who is around you...

oh i have cried at all the funerals for people related to me.

ohh sorry to hear about your dad, when my Aunt died I cried a lot we're so closed and even on her burial I really cried a lot, I don't know why maybe she because she's just 33 yo when she die and she's like our eldest sister.

Nope, it's weird but for some reason I can't cry at funerals either. But whenever me and my bf get in a massive fight I cry like crazy, but whenever someone dies (even someone in my family) I just cannot cry.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Our condolences.

I have been to a few funerals but I only cried at one, my cousins, 7 years ago.

I also can't cry in public. I only break down in tears when I'm alone, but quietlyso no one hears me. :(

i always excuse myself and go into another room (usually a smokers lounge or something). i try to be the tough one in the family, the one who tells everyone else that it'lls be okay. sometimes i do break down though, im only human.

im so sorry to hear about your father! :(

my condolences - I have cried at funerals - and some I didn't - been thru a lot of death in my life now - it seems that some situations are more difficult and emotional - my friend dimebag was murdered - we were very close - I cried a lot - it was traumatic and such a wrongful death.

I never could either, sometimes made me feel like a cold-hearted person. I did by myself though. I think it is because I was the oldest son in the family and in some ways I felt I needed to be the rock. I needed to be the guy that took care of everything and let others grieve. I don't think there is anything wrong with it though, we have our own ways of grieving.

sometimes i cry, but one of my aunts died when i was younger and i started laughing out loud when i saw her laying there kind of palish-green..

it was fucked up to say the least!
