I noticed something that seemed very odd. I wonder if anyone else did as well?

Yesterday Megan McCain seemed to be inconsolable. She was at one end of the family grouped together. Her mother Cindy was at the other end and seemed to be holding it together fairly well. What I wondered was why they weren't standing together so mom could hug her daughter and try to console her? A small thing I guess but odd nevertheless. Are they on the outs? If you were the daughter wouldn't you want to stand by your mom at such a time?

    I always look at things differently :P Whenever I hear something I always explore possibilities and use what I know about human behaviour...SO my thought was along a different track.... older generations tend to do funerals and stuff much better, they seem to have a dignified way of keeping it together, or stiff upper lip as we call it.. But what if it wasn't easy.... and what if her daughter crying would have set her off so deliberately they stayed apart? 

    If it were me....and I was trying hard to hold it together, seeing someone I care about cry would really break me up... 

    I have found people do seem to vary in how well they handle these things, maybe it's experience? I know I am awful at funerals... I cry like a baby...

    When I saw how Meghan was crying so much as a mom I wanted to just put my arm around her to comfort her. Now I'm a complete stranger but that was what I really wanted to do and Cindy(her mom) looked at her briefly but kept the same expression on her face. Now she may have been in shock or as you say have been taught how to behave in public when grief-stricken.  Anything is possible.  But if Meghan were MY CHILD I'm pretty sure I"d be standing next to her to begin with if only to hold her hand. I know you ought not judge other people by what you think you would do in their place. You can't ever really know HOW you would react until you're in that situation. Thank you for your thoughtful reply Addb!  :)
