Obviously you want to cry as much? but the situation was not possible because you have a brother who needs support. if you cry then your sister will also hysterical. but if you stand the crying then there is one obstacle that has not been separated at the time your mother died. Will cry it remains pending, or you loose the crying in front of your brother, your sister will also be added although sad to see you cry?

Well that is very difficult to handle for myself. Watching mg mom dying at the hospital is such a painful reality that love ones would really depart from us, and maybe i would really cry a lot when i'm alone because i am use to hiding my emotions in front of other people, and for my brother and sister well the less i could do for them is to comfort them and the assurance that we can be together with my mother in the next life.

Hi. dayangsumbi2010. I will probably hold my tears in. I will be as strong as I can too. I don't want to break totally down in front of my mom and my siblings. I will try to be as strong as possible. If I cry, it may be when I am alone.

Having been in the room, not with my mother that was dying, but with my grandmother during the last minutes of her life, I know that the natural reaction is for everyone to cry. That is what happened when my grandmother passed away. It was my mother (her only living child), three of my cousins, my husband, sister, two children and myself that were in the room. We all cried when she passed away. It was a very difficult time for every one of us.

I'm definitely going to cry, holding his hand. Although as an ottoman brother, I'm still a human being let alone this is my mom who will go for ever. A situation which is very understand if we look fragile moment. Very humane. although my sister more and more sad feeling sure that he understand her sister who is grieving.
