Dog
My dog died something like 1 hour ago. It was very unexpected, and my whole family was crying. I on the other hand, felt no need to cry or anything, although I was close to him as well. Am I a walking time bomb, or is this just my grieving style? Thanks.

when my dog died, i didnt cry as much either, even though i had not lived a second of my life without her.
its not bad to not cry. if you are an optomist it is totally natural.

Nothing is wrong. Really. Everyone just have differnt ways of dealing with deaths. Some people cry to releash their emotions and someone just burden the pain inside (not showing any signs of sadness) I do that sometimes as well. I guess it is a sign that we want to stay strong and not let our interior break down.

theres nothing wrong with that, everyone is different, my great grandma died like 2yrs ago and we where really close, and it still hasnt hit me that she will never be back, maybe it still hasnt hit you yet,its only been about an hour or whatever, or maybe it has and you are sad but everyone doesnt cry i no someone who like never crys when anything bad happens, its completley normal not to cry.

Hope i helped :)

it seems that is just your grieving style. i'm similar to you in that way... over thanksgiving break last year one of my close friends passed away, and i cried once. that doesn't mean that i don't miss her... i miss her every day. but that was just the way i responded. like somebody else said... it's like i don't even realize that she's really gone because she's still with me and my friends in spirit. some of my friends responded terribly to the news. one of my friends said, "i envy you, that you can stay calm in this chaos." but maybe that's just the way i am, and maybe that's just the way you are. it doesn't mean you don't care, it just means that you are particular in that way. i'm sorry for your loss.

this is completely normal and it happens to everyone about every kind of death. at first its a shock and your just sitting there not able to cry, and you dont know why. but soon it will hit you, and it might hit you hard. you might cry for hours, a lot of people have this happen, and yes it is your greiving style, along with other people, so dont think you dont care about you dog...cuzu kno u do its just a shock at first. hope i helped

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
There is no right or wrong way to deal with death, it's a very personal thing. Everyone handles it differently. You could go on for days, weeks or months with no reaction, then something small could be enough to set off the grieving process.
You may find that you can't release your feelings whilst your family are crying, it's too much of an emotional overload.
You may even be one of those philosophical people that are able to just accept death as a part of life, and don't cry.
Whatever the reason, don't worry about it, just try to be there for your family now and support them, and in time, should you need it, they will able to do the same for you.

Oh im SOOO sorry! After a while a dog becomes like a family member. It's totally normal. It probably just hasn't struck you that he will never come back. One of our church youth leaders (who was THE best) died a year ago and i still don't think of it as she's really gone. But it's a normal way of grieving.
hope i helped =>
PS i hope your family gets over its loss really soon!!!

Definitely nothing wrong with that. It's okay to be sad, and definitely don't need to cry. Everyones differnt. That is just the way you feel about the death. Nothing wrong with that one bit :]
