Yes all the time......those I have felt great affection or empathy for through my reading for instance and ancestors I have learned of from my genealogy research. In the former case its more a feeling of sympathetic or empathetic bonding and attachment from that. Similarly in the case of my ancestors too but with a strong sense of belonging, family kinship, loyalty and bonding from those too and a deeper sense of attachment with them being ancestors ...but not being able to connect fully owing to linving in a different time period. Plus ancestrally there are a few very sad stories but I prefer my ancestors to rest in peace and hope they can do so...


Hope I have made sense...





Nice question :)
Reply:Yes!


When my mother tells me stories of her grandfather, and to hear of his death also from her stories, sadness arise.


In movies, Yes again.
Reply:Yes ... my mother%26#039;s father died less than a year after he lost his wife to cancer, having turned to alcohol and given up. At some point in his life he had kept a datebook and had marked trivial events on it and his reactions to them, and he had drawn some cartoons and there were some letters, and I saw this stuff among my mom%26#039;s things. He was obviously so smart and thoughtful and creative, and to think of how his wife%26#039;s death crushed him so bad he lost the will to live, when he was only 50, makes me really sad.
Reply:Yes. I used to teach middle school Engllish. For five years I taught %26quot;The Diary of Anne Frank%26quot; as a unit. She died only a few years before I was born. Having read her diary over and over and discussed it so many times, not to mention seeing the movie over and over...well, she became a real person and I did feel sad and cry a few times over her life ending so early...last train out of the Netherlands with Jews sent to concentration camps...dying just a few months before liberation.


Joan of Arc. Idealistic young people dying horrible deaths, yet who through some quirk of fate, live on.
Reply:i cry for Sam Cooke all the time. its hard to listen to him singing and not feel an emense sense of loss and sadness over loosing someone so great. R.I.P
Reply:Yes, I cried so much when I watched the Anne Frank movie. It is sooo sad how many people were murdered during the Holocaust it shocks me what we can so easily do to one another. There was so much death, pain and anger and even though I wasn%26#039;t there to experience it. Still it is soo sad. And then recently I went to this big Holocaust Museum in DC and there was this room with hundreds and hundreds of shoes that were taken from the Jews and you could just imagine all the feet that wore them and all those people that suffered and died, and it was so real you could even smell the leather from the shoes. I just started crying in the Museum.
