It's okay to cry... My elderly neighbor husband after 57 years of marriage passed away almost a...

She must feel so lonely now. :'( As to why she apologizes for crying, I guess many people just feel like they shouldn't "burden" other people with their problems. So often we're raised to be stoic and not share, particularly with non-family or non-close friends. I's wonderful you;re being so nice and understanding.

My mom calls me crying all the time. She misses my dad so much. She always says sorry. Gosh she never has to say sorry. Im.feel so sorry for her. I dont even have words to say. I just let her cry and ttry to talk to me. Death is so sad.

Yes of course crying is OK sometimes that's how you vent your emotions it's like a release valve to get it out so definitely let her cry she needs a good cry to get all of that emotion out she'll be alright it's just gonna take time

I totally understand what she's going through. My father passed away two weeks ago. That emptiness will be there for quite a while.

Good that you are supporting her in this testing time. And good that you didn’t turn down or asked her to defer the soup to a later hour.

It’s hard to predict someone’s behavior in her situation, she’s very fortunate to have a good neighbor like you. At this point she feels vulnerable and twisted, I know from experience.

Aww, my condolences to her and to you. I agree that she can [and should] cry as she needs to. She's going through a profound adjustment. I'm sure she appreciates you being there for her.😍

That's why I told her she could cry all she wanted to and I'll hold her while she cries.

God bless you...🙏
I am sure you'll take good care of her.😇
She sees you as a good friend. May the warmth of your friendship never perish.🙏

It seems very strange to marry two weeks after meeting her new husband, she did not mourn for very long at all. I suppose at her age she was excited about the honeymoon and not much time left on this earth.

I wonder if she knew this person before and it making up this story of just meeting him, or was she afraid to die alone.

I think we apologize for crying because it's hard on us and the people around us. You are right, we shouldn't apologize for crying/letting our sadness out.
Give your neighbor a hug for me, please.... and always tell her it's okay to cry.
