Why don’t I feel like crying like everyone else?

We all feel emotions in different ways and at different times. That is ok. Sometimes people cry because they are sad or angry or lonely. Sometimes people feel these emotions and do not cry.  Sometimes people may cry many weeks or months later when they don’t expect to, some people don’t cry at all.  Just because you are not crying doesn’t mean that you are not sad or angry or hurting. We all show emotions in different ways. You may not be crying because you are in the first stage of grief, denial, and the reality of the death of your loved one has not sunk in.
