re: When is the last time you cried?

I know it's just a dumb country song, but that song by Lee Brice, "I drive your truck", does the same thing to me. I lost my brother 6 years ago this past August and that song chokes me up everytime I hear it.

Today. I cry every day here lately.

When my dad passed away.

The day my grandfather passed away. He basically raised me.

When my family called to tell me he had taken a sudden turn for the worse, I booked the next flight home. Unfortunately, I made it to the hospital just minutes after he was intubated and sedated. He went into multi-organ failure shortly thereafter and never recovered.

I knew I would never again get to speak to the man to whom I owe everything, and even worse, I knew I would have to tell my grandmother that he wasn't making it out of the hospital this time.

I pulled up a chair to his bed, laid my head down, held his hand, and wept. For hours.

My sincerest condolences for your loss.

When paw paw died 3 years ago. When they closed the lid I lost it.

Much respect given for admitting this. The fact that you know this and don't try pretending your not puts you head and shoulders ahead of most females.

Prayers to my husband.

Not really, HC. He's better off that you let it out.

I didn't/wouldn't cry for many years. When I got sober for the first time in 1985 at the age of 34 I found and accepted that not only was I a sensitive person, I was a hyper-sensitive person. I can cry at the drop of a hat. Many things affect me - music, stories, the death of a loved one, even some of the stuff I read here. I feel like a healthier person since I began allowing my emotions to release.

Even so,I haven't cried in the presence of an other since my Father's funeral in 2003.

several times for the past week it seams...doing ok this morning

Paw Paw Necks funeral. I kept it together until the Marines came out and played the horns, it was done after that
