Im sorry to hear of your loss and i hope you continue to find this place comforting and supportive - check out the grief and loss board, talking to others who have experienced similar reactions may be helpful. All the best.
Yep, Leed always has good advice. Well, I the funeral is over now... and I felt absolutely nothing... although, I swear I saw the corpse breathing or something... anyways... in this case, the relative was quite distant. She was the grandmother of a very distant cousin of mine(although I basically grew up with him and you can see the family resemblance.)

What really worried me was when my grandfather died, three years ago(maybe). When I heard he died, I rolled over and went back to sleep. Never grieved. I have never grieved for anyone who was dead. And I feel guilty for it. I have grieved for people who are still alive when I run scenarios of them dying... but in the end, if they die I don't grieve...
