I don't miss my dead parents much anymore

My mom died when I was seventeen. It was pretty awful for the family She had celulitis, kidney and liver failure. I had a hard time coping with the loss of my mother. About that time, my dad was getting sicker. He started losing weight and told me he may have cancer. He had emphysema and bone degeneration. He eventually died about two years after my mom when I was nineteen. I am twenty-one now. I sometimes miss my parents so much it's unbearable. Most of the time though, it doesn't bother me too much at all. I sometimes worry if there's something wrong with me emotionally. Is it normal for me to not miss my parents very much for the most part? Is there something wrong with me? Don't get me wrong, I loved/still love them very much.

    It sounds more to me like you're trying to cope, rather than you don't miss them at all.

    that fluctuation between indifference and sympathy is indicative of dealing with a loss. in due time your reaction to it will become consistent

    Despite what people have been known to say about grief, there are just as few right ways to do it as there are wrong ways. Everyone handles loss differently. I want to say that it will get better but I would be getting your hopes up and it would get all the worse for you if you realized you were NOT getting better.

    Accepting loss is not the same as overcoming it. Learning to live without them is not the same as taking their absence for granted. From time to time, I still grow randomly depressed or angry with the death of a love one but it's ok to not be totally cool with the bad things that have happened in your life.

    If you grow chronically depressed or anxious over the matter, then it would be a good idea to see a counselor as the death of a loved one should not interfere with a person's functioning for a long period of time. Provided that is not the case, yes, you are perfectly normal.
