Is it normal to felt nothing when a relative who I was a few years ago close died?
If happens sometimes and when the realisation hits you blubber uncontrollably.
I'm not close to any relatives...geographically or emotionally. When one of them dies, it doesn't affect me. I feel bad for my parents losing a brother or sister.
None of my peer family members (brother, sister, cousins) have died, surprisingly. Nor their kids. So i have little experience in grief. My mom's death was very hard, but I had nothing left unsaid nor undone when she died.
One sister and I were very close, but she withdrew from our family and I haven't talked with her in years. She got married and had 3 kids, but never let us know. She even lives in another country so we had no idea where she was!
If my other siblings died, I'd feel so sad. Her? I don't know. How would she react if all of us died? I would probably feel bad that things didn't work our between us. I'd feel angry that she blew off her family. I'd feel sorry for her that she died alone. But I would react.
It's not weird. Sometimes that just happens. When my great-grandmother died I was afraid of her corpse. That's it...I wasn't sad or anything. I didn't really know her though. I only knew her while she was old and sick. But I was like 9. Luckily, I haven't been to a funeral since.
I have been hit with one after the other and I have no more tears. The last one was my dear niece and a year before my nephew, her brother. My sister still devastated.
