When Did You Last Cry?

I get more emotional these days because SWMBO has a life changing medical condition.. it's life but some days I wish it was somebody else's.. meaning I wish she hadn't been the one affected
 
I lost my wife within the last year suddenly through an heart attack aged only 47.Having not cried for years I certainly do now regularly.

Really terrible news that. Can't even begin to imagine how terrible you feel. 47 is no age to die. Take care blue.
 
Today. Doing some early spring cleaning of those catch-all-drawers, I have a couple. There's a bag of things in it from my Mum's house. Her bus pass and also a bunch of cards/letters I'd sent her over the years, whilst living over 4,000 miles away. She passed away over 3yrs ago now, talking about her I'm totally fine but when I find things like that, it bout rips me.
 
My sister’s funeral about 18 months ago. The last time before that, my girlfriend’s funeral just under three years ago.

I’m not a huge crier, which I view as a slight shortcoming on my part. Nothing massive, as I’m anything but emotionally repressed, but I think I should cry a bit more time I do.
 
Not for a while, losing silva in may did for my supply of tears . Lots when i had covid and was really sick , didnt help having a bloody headache as well ! Also when i start crying i automatically yawn, most annoying
 
Today for me. My Dad is in the later stages of Alzheimer’s and isn’t a well man. He took a turn for the worse this morning and they had to call an ambulance and it hit me quite hard. Probably a cumulation of things really, but mainly the grim reality that sadly the end is getting ever nearer.

My dad had Alzheimer's Ric as I've previously mentioned to you in pm. I empathize and feel how you're feeling as I was there to see my old man regress to nothingness, and die in a pitiful way. It got harder every single time I turned up to his old folks home. I was sat there talking to him and he was oblivious and out of it near to the end . As I mentioned I was relieved when he passed away and suffered no more for him and myself, and it brought closure and understanding to me. I wish your dad the very best he can be and try and stay strong yourself because you have to for yourself, your family and friends. All the best pal.

And I'd just like to say to anyone admitting to crying, so what it's just a kind of pressure release valve, no shame in it and nowt to feel embarrassed about. I cried a few weeks ago when I got about 14 hours of broken sleep in about a hundred hours through tinnitus. I felt I was running on empty. Glad to say I'm on the mend now. Chin up blues, not easy I know but we're British and made of tough mettle.
