Why didn't i cry when i found out my dad is dying?

I just found out my Dad has lung cancer, stage 4 and its malignant and its uncureable and hes going for chemo but I dont understand why when they tell me I may only have my Dad for like less than 3 years, why didnt I cry?

I didnt cry when they told me...

he had a tumour, I didnt cry when they said its uncureable and malignant, and I didnt cry when I found out he has less than 3 years to live

Why didnt I cry?..this is really bugging me because I'm attached to my Dad and I found out hes dying and I didnt shed a fucking tear why?

trust me u will in time what your goin thou is a stage of shock/denial i did the same thing now i cry all the time

I did the same thing when my grandma cryed a year ago and I would cry all the time after she died and I still do.

not everyone cries. maybe u didnt like ur dad or u probably cried enough when he was sick or somehting but like the saying goes noone knows how much u trully miss someone untill u loose them.
u cant control everything in life.
im sorry about ur dad. i really am

REALITY MAY NOT HAVE KICKED IN YET.
I MEAN THAT MAYBE YOU HAVENT RELISED HE IS REALLY GOING TO BE GONE.
JUST SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH HIM AS YOU CAN?
I AM SURE HE KNOWS THAT YOU LOVE HIM. YOU MAY NOT HAVE CRIED, BECAUSE HE IS NOT GONE YET.
I REALLY WISH THE BEST FOR YOU.

People handle things in different ways. It may not have hit you yet, either. My Grandma jsut died and I cried a little when they told me but it didn't really bother me until I saw her at her funeral and I haven't cried since then. But when it comes to things that she should be there for, it may hit me again..The best thing to do for him is act like everything is normal so that he can enjoy the rest of his life instead of being too careful..

thanks..I still havent cried but I'm sure I will soon.

My dad has kidney cancer level 4 and has been going very painfully, For the most part I don't cry but then I have my days when I feel It'll never be o.k. The fact is when you finally do break down, let yourself, it's good to let it out, holding this type of hurt, anger, depression in will eat you alive. I am terribly sorry to hear of this and If you tell me his name I will add him to my prayers. I'm 24 and have 2 young children who wont even remember my dad, Please know unfortunately you are not alone. God Bless and good luck

You're probably so shocked you didn't cry. Don't worry, that happened to me. My step sister died a few years ago and I didn't cry at all but I was so shocked. What I would do now is give him a big big hug and tell him how much you love him. Good luck, god bless you.
