      From Sandyslilsis October 31

      Dear Amy,
      You sound like me, the crying part. I can cry in front of family and close friends, but don't like to in front of others. I lost my sister Sandy on Sept 18th and I cry alot. Go with the emotion tomorrow. I'm sending you strength to help you sing (not that I can sing) but just know you will be in my thoughts.
      Shirley

      From NormaMc September 28

      I cry when otheres cry, it isn't a sign of weakness but of support ( IMO) you are very sweet to be worried about others. You are a great comfort to your firends I'm sure :)

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I wish I could cry more, but sometimes the tears just aren't there.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Yes but I wish I could see her more often.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Reading Understanding Your Grief, very helpful tips to consider.
      Remembering Working / Worked
      Attended a memorial service yesterday. It was emotional but also comforting.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      If I could be more open with my emotions, I need shoulders to cry on. I need hugs and support.
