ok so i'm not a very emotional person normally, but it seems like ever since some one a was really close to died last year i've been more emotional like before it took a lot for me to brake down but ever since his death it seems like a cry at some stupid things.... so i was thinking if someone your close to dies can you be more emotion than you were before(like i'm not talking about right after cause thats a no brain i'm saying can it forever change how emotional you are or can get or w/e) ?? i would really like to know what y'all think ...

well, normally,you really have to get through some stages on Coping up with Depression (like for example in your case, coping up with losses)..
and now your dealing with your emotions.. emotions are temporary.. its your choice.. and its within your power to control them.. you may choose not to be happy even everybody are.. and you can be emotional as long as you've wanted to..
and since God gave us the freedom of CHOICE, we are also bound to be responsible on how to use 'em..
there's always time for everything (ECCLESIASTES).. its good to experience all the kinds of emotions.we can learn from it.. just be sober enough when to be out from that feelings and move on to next..you may not want to miss some other stuff..

Godbless you, Faith :-); ▶ Reply to This

I can relate to the stage of emotional sensitivity that you have experienced since your lose. This is completely normal and you should not feel ashamed or guilty for feeling that way.

It is truly out of your control. When we lose someone who is very close to us, our emotions change severely. We become susceptible to reacting in ways that we would have not before losing that person. Nothing is wrong with crying; crying is a way to release and remove pain and stress in your life. It is very healthy ;-).

Stay positive and believe that God took your friend because it was his time to go, even though it hurts. No, you will not feel that way for the rest of your life. You will get stronger and by trusting God He will give you all the strength, courage, and peace you need.

What you are experiencing is a state of mourning and this is normal. When I lost someone very close to me certain movies would make me cry that had never made me tear once before.

As long as you’re not angry and fired up to engage in unadvisable behavior then you are reacting in a manner that any human being would react. I will keep you in my prayers Miss., Faith. Just as your name is Faith, have the faith that is necessary to please God. God is working in your life for the better and always remember that you are human and we all share emotions of hurt and pain! God will not put any more on you than you can bear and he is strengthening you daily!

Love you sis,
