Once upon a time I was the youngest in my family. I didn't have a little brother back then. I had a big sister. She was prettier than me, mature than me, she knew how to socialize more than me.
She was studious.
She wanted to be a lawyer.
Even when she was sick she was worried about her studies.
At last she couldn't carry on. She was so sick she had to stay in bed. Mother, father, grandma, aunt, everyone was busy to look after her.
My sister liked to travel so when we took her abroad for checkup we went sightseeing.
Sister's symptoms were really small at first. She had joint pain in her fingers at first. Then legs, hands etc. They took her to the doctor. Her disease wasn't detected before it grew worse though. It was quite a rare disease. I don't even remember the name...
She had to stay in the hospital. We lived there too. I studied for my finals in the hospital. It was hard to concentrate. I think I got bad grades that time.
Sister used to have hallucinations; medicinal side effect.
Her speech was really hard to understand.
One morning I woke up, she was gone. She died when we were sleeping. We took her body back to the countryside. To bury her in the family graveyard. At first I thought it was a dream. All the way I kept looking at the coffin. Listening to the sound hoping she'd knock the door so we'd let her out.
Our relatives came for her last rites.
Mother, father, my aunts, uncles, cousins cried for her but I didn't. Just a teardrop and nothing more.
They called me to see her for the last time. Her body was pale, lifeless. I just looked at her and went back.
Mother, father were surely devastated. First child is always special. I watched them cry for her as they prayed.
My brother is God's gift to our family. He's like a soothing medicine to my parents.

Some times I wonder if I'm unfeeling. Why couldn't I feel the same sadness as them?
After sister I lost a grandfather, a grandmother. I didn't feel anything. No sadness, no pain.
I couldn't attend grandmother's funeral but I was there for grandfather's.
I watched from the sidelines as my younger brothers and sisters cried their heart out. I watched our relatives express their sadness. My mother, aunt, uncle too.
Why can't I feel anything? I was also loved by him as I grew up! Why can't I feel like them?
Times like this, I doubt myself. Am I selfish? Only care about myself? I don't get it!
Times like this I feel scared. I feel the need to hide myself. Can't let them know. I don't force myself to squeeze out tears though.
People die. It's only natural. Surely, I'll loose more people in the future. Will I stay the same forever?
Is it normal? Do I really not feel anything? So frustrating.
The reason I like sad novel plots is because it makes me feel sadness for them. I can cry when they get hurt or die unlike real world.
That deviated a lot, damn it! Okay, I'm done. Thanks for reading and good night<3

      *snuggle snuggle*

      Of course it is! Even if you don't know what exactly you're feeling, you're definitely not happy there are you? That's a sign already!

      Do you want to be there? Do you want to run away? Do you want to hurry back home because you can't stand being there? All those things matter, they all show you're not feeling well with it, and even if you don't feel like that, do you feel like comforting them then? Or feel like you should be by their side? All those feelings show you care silly.

      Not being able to show it on your face doesn't mean you don't feel sad with it. *hugsies hug*

      Don't think weirdly of yourself just because of a few unshed tears Cloudy-chan, you are worth a lot more than that!

      @brasca123 is it?
      Makes me envious though. They know what they're feeling.

      *hugs tightly*

      It's normal... Not everyone deals with it on the same way... I didn't cry on my grandfather's funeral, we were really close, but no tear came of it...

      It depends on how we accept it I think... If we accept it easily, tears fall out... If we don't accept it, we don't let ourselves cry, because that isn't real...

      Or maybe, we're trying to stay strong, because more of it will happen, and we don't want it... Or maybe you're just feeling so unwell, that you can't simply cry, because you're feeling too terrible to cry...

      There are many possible reasons... But... Not crying definitely does not mean you do not care Cloudy-chan... *hugs very tight*

      We're all selfish, we all care in our own ways... Not everyone expresses themselves with tears...
