ASPIE GRF My stronger emotional reactions are often delayed. It took about two months before I cried after my grandmother died. While I was watching a movie I found myself sobbing when an elderly lady died, and I realized that it was actually my grandmother I was thinking about. A few years later, when my mother died, I had a similar reaction but it happened sooner and without warning. It was the next day, early in the morning, when the feelings rose within me, and for a couple of minutes I cried more intensely than I ever had. A few minutes later it happened again, only not as strongly.
