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.

I agree w/ a lotta ppl here. She was a bitch. I didn't cry @ my grandma's funeral, when I was little, and I only cried quietly at my dad's. I mean, ppl deal w/ death differently and i don't care what your mom's going through. If SHE'S going to be so unsensitive and judgemental to YOU, **** her... Nd I'm sorry for your loss.

1) Your mother is a bitch 2) It's also OK to not cry. Personally I don't cry a lot. I got choked up a couple of times at my uncle's funeral but... i don't usually cry at them. And if you ever are at a funeral where you don't feel the need to cry... that is not bad or evil. I've been at funerals where I barely knew the person. So, although I felt bad about the death, I wasn't crying or grieving. So I took care of some of the other tasks on hand to free up the people who *were* grieving more than i was. and yet you were crying anyway. that's just rotten of her

People deal with death differently than others do.. I mean, at my brother's funeral I only comforted my elder sister rather than crying myself. For some, it just doesn't full sink in that person's gone until days later. That's how I was. You're mother sounds a tad insensitive, or she's just redirecting her own grief or something. I'm not sure if your grandmother was paternal or maternal, but if she was your maternal then your mother might've just been sort of emotionally unstable. Who knows ...
