Is it normal that i'm not acting upset about my grandmother's death?

My grandmother just died yesterday, and I saw her take her last breath . I was extremely upset, and was bawling. But now for some reason I'm just going on with my everyday life like normal. I'm being all gitty. Will that change? Will I be upset again?

    I think it's normal. I've been called heartless because I didn't cry at any of my grandparents deaths. I loved them a TON I just knew it was their time and that they lived a great life! They were all content with dying so why should I be sad when they were finally getting they rest they deserved after raising a great family and serving everyone they could all their lives! I think if you feel like it was their time and the cause of death was natural then sometimes it's even okay to feel happy for them!

    Whoops. I accidentally pressed no. But it's normal! That's just your psyche trying to cope. Maybe it's part denial, partly a distraction, numbness, or it might not have quite "hit you" at that moment. You've also probably exhausted yourself by crying and so your mind is thankfully not having to deal with stress in having to hold that in.

    I'm really sorry for your loss.. It's always terrible to lose someone, but everything will work out in the end, you'll see =]

    I had that when my grandad died, I cried continiously at first then after a few days, you function normally again because you push it from your mind. You're just learning to cope with it better/hence fewer emotional outbursts You shouldn't feel guilty, its part of moving on

    We all grieve in different ways, it's normal. Not everyone is an emotional wreck for days or weeks over this kind of thing.
