Unable to Grieve 9 Months Later

On Aug. 28, 2005, I lost my aunt to stomach cancer. Unfortunately, everyone else has been able to grieve and I haven't. I didn't even cry at the funeral. I want to be able to get past this and be able to move on. It hasn't sunk in that she's not here anymore. I still feel like I can give her a call, and she'll be there to answer. <font color="red"> </font>

may i suggest that you talk to a therapist. i know that it is very painful for you to not be able to grieve. i hope that talking to someone helps you.........this is not unusual....there is nothing worng with you.....xoxoxo pat p.s i still want to tell my parents things and they have been gone 7 and 10 years.....

This is not unusual, and never feel there is any time limits on when or not to grieve. Loss, effects people different, stemming from what kind of relationship they had,experiences/good times spent together,etc. There are no orders either, but some of the parts of it are, anger,denial,sadness,guilt,acceptance,etc. they will not or do not occur in a certain sequence, so never feel stressed if such emotions haven't hit yet, in some, they never do.
Take this with time to yourself and your heart, and know we are here.
