My Aunt just died a few days ago but i didn't cry...

Question

is that totally wrong? or is it kinda ok? i didn't know her that well, i saw her about 5 times in 13 years.

Answer 1

I never cried at my aunts death, But like you she had made no effort

to be a good aunt..But mine she  had a way of being mean and did allot of bad things to me and others.. I did go to her funeral for my cousins

sake out of respect but didn't cry over here that would be phony to do.

But since you hardly know the women and she had made no effort to be

an aunt to you..I think you are totally right in not crying over someone

you hardly know dear..You did right because you would have looked foolish to cry over that...Smile you are right not to cry..    

Answer 2

I think she did not deserve you tears!

Answer 3

  I've been in that situation when my aunt died.I also didn't cry.I just dont feel like crying .And i don't want to pretend to cry if thats not how i feel.So i guess its not wrong.Why would u force yourself to cry if you don't feel like it?And as what you've said..you just see your aunt 5 times in 13 years..,so you're not so close with her thats why you didn't cry when she died.

  You're just being true to yourself.

Answer 4

You did not get close to her, it's no big deal.  You gave your respect by going to the funeral and being supportive to the loved ones that were close to her.  It's alright you did the right thing.

Answer 5

you may cry later. Do not worry if you don't - there is not a rule that says you must

Answer 6

Hey girl. Dont listen to anyone. No onecontrolss your emotions. Some people arent just that emotional when it comes to deaths. I'm so sorry for your lose. Plus, your still so young so you technically dont understand death in the family. My grandpa passed away in 2002, when I was graduating. I was sad, because my family was said. But I wasnt crying. I wasnt close to him at all. He never had chats with me or anything. But now that im 24, i do miss him. and it makes me teary eyed sometimes only because I wish I got to know him. Dont feel bad that you didnt cry. When your not close to someone and when they pass...whether it be family or not, you cant help but feel that it wasnt a major lose for you. Children dont cry when a family member dies usually only cuz they dont understand death that well and they didnt have a special conection with them. I know deep inside your soul, your greaving, but you just dont show it.

God Bless!

my dad always told me that "its okay to feel the way you feel" every time someone died. i didn't cry when i found out his brother was killed. i didn't cry when my grandmother died a day before my graduation. you can't help the way you feel. and if you force yourself to cry, then those tears would be fake from the start.
