tearlessly
Dry-eyed, without sobbing
Tearlessly means without shedding tears—crying dry-eyed or not crying at all.
The word often implies stoic composure in circumstances where tears would be expected: She sat tearlessly through the funeral.
It can suggest emotional suppression or simply an absence of visible grief.
