Is it normal to cry over death?

Okay so like today was really emotional for me it's Christmas 2010 so we always have Christmas at my grandma's house every year well this year was really rainy and foggy today when we were on our way to my grandma's there was a police and ambulance car and there was alot of traffic it was on the freeway once we got out of the traffic there was a car accident that didn't look real bad but i saw the ambulance taking in a body that was covered i don't know if they were covering it because of the rain or because he or she was probably hurt bad and wanted to keep it private so no one can see them. well thats what my mom said i kinda had a first thing in mind that they were dead and i got really upset and started crying and i was crying for like an hour and i still can't stop thinking about what i had saw today i'm really emotional about it and i can't stop thinking about it and i'm just wondering if anyone else feels this way cause i feel as if i'm the only one with this problem i still feel kinda bad.. i'm very sensitive and care alot about people plus i don't even know these people but it really hurts.. especially on christmas day theyre loved ones were probably heart broken but then my mom told me that people die every day and that it's just life that it wasn't their time to go and that they didn't want for it to happen it was just a tragic accident that happened to them and that maybe god needed an angel... well i just need some help because i don't know if i should be feeling this depressed about this or not? BTW whenever i see a car accident i start feeling really depressed and sad and feel like going to start crying.

  • Yes it is completely normal! At least in my opinion.
    What you saw was horrible and traffic accidents do make me cry as well even if I don't know the person or the family. But the way you described it makes me at least hope that they were just covering the person from the rain or due to injuries, but we'll never be sure.

    I must say, though that our imaginations are much worse that what we actually see. When you replay it in your head it just seems to get worse and worse, right? It's going to be hard to get it out of your head but it will get better eventually.

    It's ok to cry and feel bad. Even If the person didn't die, their Christmas plans were ruined and they might have gotten hurt. That's just depressing in itself.

    All I can say is to pray for that person (if It is in your beliefs) and try to do things that get your mind off of it. Good luck!
