I react coldly as in I feel nothing. When my cousin died in the same city that I live in I felt nothing I couldn't even feel sorry for my Aunt and relatives. It was difficult to hide this from everyone. When my mother was dying I was terribly conflicted and felt compelled to try and find authenticity until the end. I did the right thing but authentic? Sad to admit that even then I can't say I found it..authentic for me means the self unconnected from other people and even then its nebulous.

I can't answer this for you. But perhaps you may find at least part of your answer in this article from PC's archives:

I usually just get sad for a few hours and maybe a day or two at max (which is was how I was when my cat died) before moving on with my life. No point in grieving anyways.

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