Is it mandatory to cry at funerals?

When it comes to crying I am a lot like you. I hide my emotions because I need to be strong. A couple of years ago my brother passed away. At the funeral I cried a couple tears, but I hid them. Everyone thought that I didn’t cry. Thankfully my family didn’t talk about it. But don’t keep the emotions down for me I put my emotions into my story. I release them to a place that no one will find. When my brother passed my dad took me for a walk and told me that I needed to be strong with my mom. That is what I did. I didn’t show her my emotions. And I have always been that way.
Sorry for the paragraph I just wanted to show you a lot of us are like you and it is totally fine to not cry!
