They say we should cry when a human is born into the world and we should
rejoice when they leave!! Deep subject, brow rising!!

I think we cry because one minute we have someone special and the next minute they aren't there.  It is because when you have something and then it's gone, you feel you've lost it, inside yourself you look for it but because its no longer available to you and you want it so much you cry.

We cry because the part they have played in our lives
has touched us, so also when we smile and laugh when we remember something about them which cheered or amused us.  Some characters upon the stage we share are sorely missed upon their farewell scene, so we shed our tears, here as well, not for their death but fond remembrance of their life.

I think we cry basically because we feel sorry for ourselves although we believe we feel sorry for the person we have lost. The person who had died feels no pain. I have tried to do this thinking stop crying you are crying for yourself, but it doesn't work very well.

I cry for joy - for sorrow - for pain - for weariness...tears may flow as they will, no matter, the control is not mine when it occurs; and with a chapter closing in life...that finite end among us here on earth, well, tears will stream moving the memory along in life flowing like a river into time.  ~ Elyse

Thomas...

Every human being has to go through a grieving process when they lose someone close to them, relative or friend, through death either expected or unexpected...crying is part of that grieving and is certainly nothing to be ashamed of...also, the tears might come then and there, or weeks after, depending on the person's personality, or both...

I have to say, and I say it respectfully because some people seem able to wall themselves off from any emotion(s), in my opinion, only robots don't cry.....

Because of the line of work I am in and my belief system
I strongly believe in the afterlife and I will admit the grieving process for me is totally selfish.  I loved that person, I miss having them just a phone call away and while I look forward to meeting up again with them, the time sometimes is tough to endure.

We are all human beings, but the way we handle our loss varies from person to person

If we cry, it's because they are lost to us here and now while we are in
this world. If we cry, it is also because we think that they died without some of their mission being completed.

I know we should embrace that they are in a final resting place but it is a bit hard to say good-bye! sam
