Lately, I notice that when I cry it's usually for a few short minutes and then nothing.  I'll break down and the tears will flow, and I'll either sob or  moan a bit.  It's deep crying, right from my gut, but as soon as it comes, it's suddenly gone before I can grab a tissue or hanky.   I used to be able to cry for about twenty or thirty minutes, minimum five or ten.  But lately I can't cry for longer than two or three minutes.  I do feel relief when it's over, which is good but I sometimes wish I could cry longer.  I don't force myself to keep crying when  I'm done, I just allow whatever happens.  But it is interesting that ever since my dad died last year, my crying spell durations have changed in this way.
Have any of you noticed a change in crying routines over the years or after something significant?  Just curious.  Feel free to share below!!!
