Death in my family..Is something wrong with me?
Question:
Is there something wrong with me?
Answers:
There's nothing wrong with you.everyone reacts differently. I lost a neice 2 months ago.i cried for maybe 2 days and then after that I kind of went on...I also thought there was something wrong with me. You dont need to cry to mourn someone. Its best to remember them and laugh at the good times you guys had..remembering someone is also a way to mourn. So dont worry..your perfectly normal.and I am very sorry. My prayers go out to you and your family.
Why? Just because you can't cry? There's things in this world that you value so much you can't shed tears on it. Nothing's wrong with you.
NO there's nothing wrong with you. Everyone grieves differently. Perhaps one day you'll find yourself remembering him and you may cry, but if not, don't worry. Just remember how much you loved him. And don't beat yourself up about it.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother.
Absolutely nothing wrong with you, even if you didn't cry it doesn't mean that you are happy that he is gone, we all deal with grief in our own way, and differently everytime. don't worry you're normal
No. I'm the same way about death. It's weird too because I can cry about a sad commercial! When someone close to me dies though I just CAN'T cry. Everybody deals with death differently. I'm sorry for your loss...don't let this make it worse for you.
No there is nothing wrong with you. Not everyone cries when someone close to them dies. I was very close to a lady that I called "my other mother". When she passed away I did not cry. I just remembered all the happy things from all of our time together. The happy memories I had of her and her late husband were all I needed.
No, there is nothing wrong with you. Many people can't cry because they have not fully accepted the fact that the person they love is gone.
everyone grieves different just cause you are not balling all over the place does not mean you did not love him you probably had some people who couldn't stop crying at all that does not mean a thing either sometimes the guilty cry the loudest
if someone dies you cant always be sad so no nothing is wrong with you.
No you were young, you don't really remember him
No There is nothing wrong with you. People react to death in different ways and no one way is correct. The oriental people wear white and have a 2 or 3 day party. My pastor says to look at it like this, the dead person is no longer in pain and living miserably and what is on the other side is soooo much better than our wildest dreams. When my grama died my sister didn't cry for her and it caused strife in my family. It's not wrong not to cry, it's just how you deal with pain.
No. People handle grief differently. Focus on the good times you had with your brother and take care of yourself.
Suggestion--help others who need support.
Everyone is right - there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone is different and we all react to things differently. Some day you might feel a need to cry about this, but perhaps not. Either way you are only human and we are all different. Best wishes.
I been though a lot of Deaths with my Parents,sister ect.
It might do you good to tell your Parents about this then go a get a GOOD LONG HUG from them. Always talk about your feeing don't hold them in. Surround yourself with friends and family. Hugs to you.
I am not sure how old you are or how old your brother was when he passed. Not everybody cries when there is a death in the family no matter how close. People who had good relationships will miss them but cherish the good memories and don't feel the need to remember the sadness. There is nothing wrong if everything else is ok if you have other difficulties they may be related to ignoring the grief..see a psychologist if you feel something isn't right.
each person reacts to death, etc. in different ways. Some cry, others don't mention it, some folks don't need to cry to grieve. I think you are an individual who will/has reacted in YOUR way, no one else can tell you HOW to react to this.
No there is absolutely nothing wrong with you at all My dad died about 8 months ago and there are times when things upset me and remind me of him but I don't cry I can't tell you why that is but that what happens with death I guess because sometimes you will cry when something reminds you of that person but then sometimes you don't and you think you should but it happens to me to. But i know there's nothing wrong with that.
To me the big thing is, HOW AND WHY. When my mom died I was very sad, but I was glad it was over, for 2 reasons. It was cancer and it had spread everywhere, even the brain. I was glad for her it was over, and now for me, (it's been since 1998), for me, I don't have to go through it again. Everyone grieves in a different way. Don't let it bug you.
No, there is nothing wrong with you. You know how much you loved him. Everyone grieves in their own way. I am an extremely emotional person - I can cry just from my mom looking at my the wrong way. However, it takes a LOT to make my sister cry. It's perfectly fine that you don't cry constantly & as long as you are grieving in some other (healthy) way. You'll always remember you brother & it a good thing that thinking of him doesn't make you break down in tears. I hope that you have plenty of reassurance through these answers. God bless.
No I am the same way. It's so weird but when I dream about the person sometimes i am overwhelmed with grief and crying in my sleep. The grief is there but its just somehow we can't let it out. Doesn't mean that you don't have feelings. I've seen some people cry at funerals where they don't even know the person.
many people cry a lot because they have regret of maybe not being with the person enough or some uresolved issues, so if u have no regrets maybe its just that youre content. also if you were very young then maybe you didnt understand the severity of it then
The extent of grief does not correlate to the amount of love you feel for someone. Don't stress about it. Just because somebody grieves longer than you doesn't mean you don't love just as much.
