I'm sorry for your loss.
I want to reassure you that it's perfectly OK to cry -- it's actually good for you! I've been told that it actually releases toxins and cleanses the body.

I'm completely unable to cry in front of someone. I'm better at stopping tears then hiding my face, which I do as soon as my throat starts to hurt/before crying. I go home at any sign of feeling less than positive, and then make the feeling go away with sleep.

The problem I have with sleeping away grief is that I grind my teeth while I sleep and dream about the loss repeatedly -- so there's really no escape for me.
I've dealt with loss myself, even though it was a different type of loss. It took me a long time to have the courage to cry and be vulnerable, but I cried when I was ready. I feel that when you are ready, you will cry, too.
