Guys! my boss is one of the tough woman I have met. But today, it was my first time to see her crying. I heard that her aunt died yesterday. Her mother was so sad, but never cry. But, today her mother was admitted to the hospital, because of high blood pressure. Then, after 4 hours inside the hospital, the doctor cannot revive her mother, and now her mother died also. The sad part is that tomorrow is my boss' birthday. I give her water in order for her to stop crying for a while. I'm afraid because she has also a high blood pressure. If she can't control her emotion, I don't know what will happen next. About you, How do you control your emotion when your love ones died?

that is very hard. my dad passed away a couple of years ago and it was very difficult. i dont think there is any magic solution for this.

I think there is no magic solution with that. The first thing that we should do is to be with positive people, who can uplift and give encouraging words. In that way, we can easily move on to the emotions that we felt.

It maybe because she is very close to her. Losing someone close to us is not that easy to accept right away. I also experienced that.. Happy mylotting!

Yes, my boss' mom lives in her house, that's why losing her is a very painful in her part.

Indeed! And i believe that whatever we have now, it's not permanent, sooner or later it will be taken from us. But the memories still there, that's why nothing lost in us.

Sorry to hear of the losses your boss has had. I am one who will shed tears instantly as it is part of my emotions to do so right away. Then I find that once I release I can think a bit clearly and take control of the situations. It is normal in my opinion to release and let it out. I would not want to hold in and cause an emotional melt-down leading to health issues later. Although I can be sad and perhaps still tear for the loved one who has passed I find that fairly quickly though I can take a bit of control to set forth any furthering of necessary plans.

Thank you for your response! Indeed! We need to release our feelings, and move on from the situation after that. And we are the one will take control of our emotions.

Thats so nice to hear that you are so emotional and concerned about someone who had been quite rigid with you. Aside from the obvious, i must say it is really so hard to digest the fact that someone you love no more exists in this world. Its an overwhelming fact, but there is no other way, for any other person, but to move on gradually as the days go by. There is at least hope that one would always get to see their loved ones, one day, for sure.

To be honest, there isn't any way to control my emotions. The only person that can control my emotions is myself. I'd rather cry a water fall in my bed then go about life like nothing happened. To me it's better to realize and release every emotion just so I don't have to deal with it later.

Indeed! we are the one who can control our self. So that after all our cry, no more tears will shed, because we burst out all our emotion.
