You used the phrase grieving beforehand = pre-grieving. I have no idea what you are talking about in relation to my posts.

I just had nothing to grieve for when my mom died. We had no connection. She had hurt me far too deeply for that. In therapy I have grieved my own pain and loss and the abuse free childhood I never had.
I grieved more for my raccoon than I did for my.mother or father. If you DO love someone I don't think there is anyway to prep for grief though I think the way you grieve is different depending on whether it was expected or a shock, long illness or sudden accident.
But there is no one from my family of origin that I will ever grieve for
I still sometimes worry that this means there is something wrong with.me thpugh.my.T assures me it is normal given childhood experience
