Crying is a natural and healthy emotional release. So, no... it's not silly. People seem to have this queer notion that it's an expression of weakness and also are unable to handle seeing people cry... it makes them uncomfortable... but that's their baggage, not yours.

So yes, if you need to cry... do so.
