I also started crying the moment I found out my grandmaw had passed away.
I was at a spring training dbacks game drunk in line to get another drink. See that my cousin is calling, I think he's calling to wish me happy birthday(it was my bday). No....he was calling to tell me about grandmaw. I turned into this drunk sobbing mess as I walked back to my husband and we left the baseball park to go home. Then once I got home i somehow had sobered up and just went into autopilot making arrangements to fly back to LA and notifying my work.

We are men.
We don't have that luxury and we generally aren't wired that way.
I am saying this as a matter of fact thing. It is not a knock on anyone, no matter what their reaction is.

My mother passed from cancer in 2000. I was twenty years old. She found out she had it in September of 2000 and died the day after Christmas 2000. Her chemo gave her complications and she had a massive heart attack and died while running her bath water. I remember getting the call and rushing to the ER on Essen. It was surreal when I got there and found out she had passed. Her and I were close. I got really angry. I isolated. I took comfort in my grandmother. She passed 13 months later unexpectedly. It was a dark time. I turned to drugs and alchohol. I came out of it in 2006. I'm a better person these days. This really just scratches the surface. I could go deeper but it'd be tl;dr.

I literally watched my father die a few months ago but wasn't present during the final moment.. It was weird as no one had told me he had died until I walked back into the room and immediately realized he was gone.. I was emotionally spent at that point and actually smiled knowing he'd moved on and was no longer suffering. Death is a mixed bag of personal emotions dependent upon your experiences with that person and death itself .. I had very little outward emotion and was surprised with that..

You work to make the loss fit into the new normal and after awhile, it does.
Depending on how close they were "awhile" can be a long time. Months, even years.

When my son died I was comforting other people who were crying. It wasn't to later when everybody left the hospital that I broke down,
