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.

sorry for your loss; however, again as what other said people need to understand that some people cry at funerals and others just never cry. it's individual for everyone, and we should all understand that.

please don't flame me. i think we should not mourn the dead as much as we celebrate their life. i'm not a very emotional person, but a loss is a loss. some people have different reactions.

I can see where he's coming from. It's not about "manning up" as it is about not making a huge scene during a solemn moment.

That is pretty mean of your mother to say that. I mean how does she really know what you are exactly feeling. :/ People express their emotions different ways and different times.

Honestly it doesn't even matter if you did or didn't cry. People deal with loss in different ways and some people may wait to cry until later or may never do so at all. Complete lack of consideration for how you might be feeling on your mother's part. Still, talk to her. She may have just been emotional and not have even meant it.

I hate it when people assume you're emotionless just because you don't show emotion. Happens to me all the time. My dad died in the beginning of this last September, and I didn't cry. I'm sure many assumed that I didn't love him or some bullshit like that. Tears just don't come naturally to me in these situations. I'm sorry about your loss, and I'm sorry about your sorry excuse for a mom.
