My mother's family believes strongly in laughter therapy (not consciously though), so drawn-out tragedies like this one are filled with laughter and black humour. [Case in point: my grandfather's funeral.]

When I told my sister that I heard that my mom's conversation with her was less mournful and more silly, she said, "yeah, Mom [later] told me that you were all crying and stuff." Well, at first. The tone of the phone call had gotten sillier as time went on, but once I hung up, it was back to my emotional self.

I dunno, I've always been more emotional. It doesn't surprise me.
