I found out I lost a Battle Buddy a week ago and I have not felt upset at the loss yet. Is that normal? I feel bad about not seeming to care about losing one of my closest friends. Me and him even jumped out of helicopters together. What is wrong with me?

There is nothing wrong with you. Nothing. Putting aside this kind of sorrow is taking care of yourself. When you have many things going on in your life, sometimes one more thing can topple us. It's all right to take your time in grieving...we follow our individual ways of handling a tragedy. Respect it. It's what you need to do for you right now. Normal? Yes. Something wrong with you? No. In Peace

This may sound a little weird but I did this and I'm not a veteran or anything. My closest, only friend of 24 years died and at the time of her death, I was in the process of getting a divorce and had a three year old son. I did not have the time or energy to grieve her then. I had no family for support, either. So I had to delay it. I actually did eventually grieve her passing. But it was much later when I was better able to handle it.

You are going through the stages of bereavement - there are many different stages from denial, anger, depression, bargaining and acceptance. I lost a close family member a couple of years back - took me a long while to feel anything - I was like ICE completely unemotional. Eventually started grieving at the time when it was right for me.... I then interacted with services. My advice is that I wouldnt force it.... you will do it when it is right for you. In the meantime, if you feel you need help then contact services. |

Your emotions are good. Both now and in the future.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
