so, i remember sleeping at my grandpa's from my mother's side ,only to wake up in the morning at the sound of crying to find out that he died. my grandma my mom , the whole family was mourning for him even my cousin who was only 3 years old , yet i didn't !!! after two monthes or so , it was the same with my uncle from my father's side . we were really close he was also very young so i saw him more of a big brother , yet just like before , even when the whole family was mourning for him i didn't , i couldn't and i didn't feel the need to shed a tear !!! now it's over a year since this happened and still nothing !! i'll think of them and miss them from time to time but that's all !! i don't feel more than that!! i didn't feel sad when they died nor do i feel now !!it's like i am completly indifferent !!! so i've been wondering , is that normal?

Everyone grieves in a different way, and I don't believe it isn't normal. As long as you aren't bottling it up, avoiding the sadness, or it is affecting your daily life (which it appears that it isn't) I wouldn't worry too much. Some people rarely cry but show their emotions and affections in a different way.

If it is worrying you however, I would suggest talking to a therapist who understands the processes of grief. They can help you work through the loss.

Are you sure you aren't suffering from depression? I felt like that when I was severely depressed, and I just couldn't feel any emotions. I felt numb. When a family member died, I just couldn't mourn. Once I was put on medication, I was more "normal" and was able to cry & feel again.

Just wondering if perhaps you were depressed. ???? Hugs, Lee
