What if the interview subject cries during the interview?
It is common for elderly people to cry when they reminisce, particularly about loved ones who are gone. Both men and women often cry when talking about their deceased parents. Usually, such emotional expression does not last long, and the individual will be ready to continue after a few minutes. The student needs to be reassured that he or she has not caused the person to cry, and has not upset them. The student should just sit and wait, maybe offer a tissue. If the subject apologizes, the student can reassure the subject that it’s normal that they might have these feelings. The student should not rush the person to go on; wait until they are ready.
