[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 451819, member: 1550"] when my ex-s grandmother died at 94, his staid Norwegien-rooted family barely shed any tears. I knew how much they loved her, but although a few dabbed tissues to their eyes, nobody cried. Well, that's not quite true. There WAS me! Although she was a grandma-in-law, and had lived a wonderful, long, healthy life, I was bawling like a little girl and could not control myself to the point where ex turned to me and whispered, "Stop it!" I couldn't. I loved her like my own grandmother, and in our family we show our emotions. I'll bet his family was stunned that while everyone else stood with dignity and grace, I had a meltdown. Nobody ever discussed it with me. I agree with the consensus. Everyone is different. It could also be that your mom puts things out of her mind that are too hard to think about. I could never do that, but I know people who can. Huggggggz!!! [/QUOTE]
