When Janet died...she was angry and shocked at first, then acted matter-of-factly with Woolsey (because she had prepared herself for that interview), was quietly mourning when discussing with General Hammond how losing Janet affected him personally and then really cried as she struggled to come up with the words to honor her friend.
And then with her father...Sam wasn't bawling when Jacob died. Her emotions were controlled...she was mentally prepared to handle that specific hurdle at that specific time. She steeled herself for the actual event of losing him and even looked at it from a logical and accepting perspective.
But what happened later that evening? Maybe she went home and started thinking about something truly mundane and work related...perhaps her thoughts veered toward something she was working on in her lab, like a naquadah reactor casing or how to better stabilize naquadriah...
...and then she incidentally glanced over at a picture from years ago resting on her desk of her and her father together with both of them smiling and before she knew it, she fell apart.
