In November, I lost my dear 93yr old auntie. For 25 years, my auntie was my surrogate mother after my mom (her sister) passed in 1981. I don't know why, but for some reason, I've not been able to grieve over her death. I don't know if it's because I had prepared myself so well for that day, or if I'm ignoring it and just trying to keep up with my busy schedule.
It kind of bothers me that I haven't really cried, or felt sufficiently sad for loosing her. I loved her dearly. She was an exceptional woman.
I understand that grief is completely individual to us all. We all have our own ways of getting through those times, but to basically not feel anything at all, one way or another is what kind of scares me.
Has anyone else gone through this before? If so, did you end up grieving months or even years down the road? I would love to hear from you about your thoughts and/or experiences.
Thanks a bunch!
Hugssssssss
Jean
