advice on CRYING
with a short time to go....there is something I need to talk about that is really on my mind.
Its CRYING at my wedding.
I am a big cryer.....in private. This may seem very odd, but I have no problem crying in front of friends, FH, or even strangers. However, when it comes to parents or grandparents, the notion of crying is very uncomfortable to me when it is over emotional occasions. (I know this sounds wierd) Seeing either of my parents cry, or my grandmother cry makes me very uncomfortable b/c I don't know how to comfort them or react.
My mother died 2 years ago....I cried rivers of tears, but never in front of my Dad, or my Grandmother. I didn't want to cry b/c I didn't want them to start crying. I just cannot handle it. At her funeral, I stayed strong and didn't shed a single tear. For an entire year after, I cried every day prob. 3 hours a day....in private.
I am very worried about my Dad and my Grandmother's reaction at my wedding. I know they will cry......I know that this is normal and they are crying for a happy occasion; but it makes me very uncomfortable to see them cry. I am not an insensitive person at all; I just think that seeing them cry makes me uncomfortable b/c I don't know how to comfort/react.
How do others feel about this?
