My great grandma died at age 92 and I used to go over to her house as a child and play at her house. As I grew up I less and less went there. She spoke a different language at the time and I never really understood her. I only hugged and kissed her when my parents told me too. When she died, I had to go to a 4 day funeral and everyone was crying. I felt nothing, no remorse, no happiness, no sadness, nothing. I looked at her dead body and I felt like she was sleeping. Is this normal?

    Perhaps it's because you didn't have a very strong bond with her and only thought of her as an aquintance. And like what everyone else said, perhaps it just takes time to realise what's happened then yuo will be sad. I'm sorry your great grandmother died RIP.

    Don't worry about it you probably just accepted it was her time she did have a long life

    I felt the same way when my great grandma died. I think it's also due with the fact that she lived a very long life.. i mean i feel like after living that long you shouldn't really feel bad for them... they experienced pretty much everything they needed and perhaps wanted to experience.

    Normal, no emotional attachment was formed in such conditions.
