Our soul

By baddream - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, at my grandmother's funeral I tried my hardest not to cry, only allowing tears to fall and not making any noise, to be respectful at her funeral. Afterwards, my mother tells my father that I didn't cry, which obviously meant that I didn't love my grandmother and had no soul. FML

It's a funeral, you're allowed to cry. Why would being upset at a funeral be disrespectful?

Did she not notice any tears falling? Sorry for your loss.

#16 - You need to read more FMLs ;).

You deserved it for spelling errors. But I'm sorry all the same.

Tears are overrated. People don't HAVE to cry at funerals. It doesn't mean that you're not sad or don't respect the dead person or anything. FYL for having such an "understanding" mother.

Can we drop the "must begin with today" rule just so we don't have all these people asking why a story that takes place a while ago says "today"?

My mom did that to me too, just because I never cried in front of her.

Your moms mean. Not everyone cries over a death. It's normal. And also the fact that you were trying to be respectful,normal. Just explain to your mom, if she doesn't understand, then she's a tard. (:

my grandfather died today and my whole family acts like that. they probly are just upset and took it out on you a tad, but you can't get upset that they did because what if it was your mom or dad that died? I would be bitchy too.

WTF possessed your mom to make her say that? As soon as she said that I would have imitated the devil with some kind of crazy voice...

My stepfather did that to me, too. My grandfather passed away earlier that week and because I didn't cry in front of him, I got called an ice queen. Something stronger than that, actually, but whatever. People grieve differently.

Yeah. People take anger out in awful ways at times like this. I usually keep my mouth shut and let people go at each other.
