Today at the circus I was very emotional watching my niece enjoy the show and clap along. Then as the performers were singing Christmas songs at the end I released that they probably wouldn’t be seeing their family this year as the shows go on till Christmas Day. I just started weeping. Luckily it was fairly dark.
What was the last thing that made you cry?

Today when after nearly a year and a half family court is over. Today is the first day of a new start!

2 weeks ago talking to my dads carer who told me he’s now dying but she can’t say yet how long it’ll be. Prior to that I cried in June when I was poorly with sepsis and before that sept 2017. I’m not much of a crier

This morning when I dropped DD you nursery and she cried and clung to my neck like a little monkey. They told me she was fine 5 minutes later. But I was still crying in the car for about 20 minutes. I'm also pregnant and hormonal

Last week at the funeral of a friend who just wanted to live so much. Lifes bloody unfair.

Stereomum · 16/12/2019 19:26

My ds telling me he wants to end his life before he sits his GCSE exams in may.

In hospital with meningitis last week because I felt so wretched, and all I wanted to do was sleep but my cannula was hurting, the nurses had a radio on till 2am and an elderly patient kept screaming in confusion most of the night.

About 20 minutes ago watching a video on YouTube where a little girl descibes what it's like to have a severely autistic brother (like our family) '.

ReginaGeorgeous · 16/12/2019 19:27

At my daughter's first school Christmas performance last Friday. Utterly adorable.

Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly · 16/12/2019 19:27

Today, on my shuffled Spotify play list, my daughters funeral song came on- the Rocket Club, One More Day. Broke me.

The same Joe Hammond guardian article that EnidButton mentioned. So sad. It's difficult to understand how he could write something so beautiful so near the end of his life.

whatthehelldowecare · 16/12/2019 19:28

DP leaving last night to go back down south for another week to work. Pathetic, he'll be back on Friday and he's been doing this every week since September, and every week I've shed a tear 😂 I know I'm ridiculous, but he's back for good on Friday!

WhatALearningCurve · 16/12/2019 19:30

Dawson's Creek about 30 seconds ago when Dawson jumps onto Pacey's boat saying "i won't leave you". (I have a 9 month old baby and frankly my hormones have never been the same since I had him and I cry at everything now

OurChristmasMiracle · 16/12/2019 19:31

Watching Jack Frost yesterday and discussing how unfair it is that we will never see our mums again and how I would give anything for one more day, one more conversation, one last hug.

We were both very emotional.

Fithles · 16/12/2019 19:31

My dad's text message about the election result. How thoroughly depressed he is that he'll never see positive change in his lifetime.

rhubarbcrumbles · 16/12/2019 19:31

Christmas. Well, not really Christmas but all the other shit going on, it was just Xmas that was the catalyst.

Tableclothing · 16/12/2019 19:37

Family member told me I'm "huge". I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I fucking knew that already, cheers.

Before that, I cried at how beautiful the Christmas tree looks and how sad I am that baby can't see it because they're in the womb.

OhTheRoses · 16/12/2019 19:37

Lot's of happy tears since 1997. In 1997 ds2 died in my arms at 27 weeks and nothing much has has really touched me since.

I cried when ds got 44 IB points and again when dd got 3A* A'Levels.

EarringsandLipstick · 16/12/2019 19:41

Very late last night when I realised I'd made a really stupid mistake & messed up an important job application.

It was something I'd never normally do but it made me realise that, although I think I've everything in order, I'm overwhelmed with work, single parenthood, domestic stuff, grief for my dad, worrying about my mum, and feeling lonely (tho no time to even properly realise it 😂)

I was horror-stricken for about half an hour & then sent a grovelling email to my manager and it was ok & sorted this morning, even tho I'm massively mortified and am sure my boss thinks fairly poorly of my actions 😕

EarringsandLipstick · 16/12/2019 19:43

In 1997 ds2 died in my arms at 27 weeks and nothing much has has really touched me since.

I'm so sorry @OhTheRoses 💐

Puts things in perspective.

TheBitchOfTheVicar · 16/12/2019 19:44

A pupil who cried at school today. It always makes me well up.

WhoisitnowRalph · 16/12/2019 19:46

Now, reading this bloody thread. Sad

But tonight I think I am emotional because I have come to the decision that my DM is going to have to go into residential care for her own safety - her Alzheimer's is deteriorating. And that's why I can't watch, or read, Elizabeth is Missing at the moment - or Three Things About Elsie, even though my lovely friend wrote it.

I also cried buckets when my dog died 4 weeks ago. I still have a little cry for her every day. Oh fuck, I'm off again. I miss her so much.

Giggorata · 16/12/2019 19:48

The beautiful eulogy that the celebrant put together from talking to lots of us about my sister. Her funeral is next week.

Deckthehallswith · 16/12/2019 19:48

I'm back to work tomorrow after mat leave. Been off for 6 and a half months.
This morning my 6 year old said he was sad and didn't want me to go back to work. It broke my heart.

Dollywilde · 16/12/2019 19:50

I’m a massive crier normally but I’m pregnant right now so being ridiculous Grin

I’ve cried twice today already. Can barely bring myself to admit this but one of those was at the theme tune to Dad’s Army Blush

TheDogsMother · 16/12/2019 19:51

The news item about Terence who has spent Christmas alone for the last 20 years.
