when my papa and grandma died i felt nothing, no mater how hard i tried to feel any emotion at all i just couldn't. is that normal?
Maybe they weren't "loved ones" to you? If they were old and ill and ready to go, the only thing to grieve about is that maybe you'll miss them.
There's no point at all in trying to feel an emotion, that's not possible.
feeling things is not something that happens naturally, at least for me. often, people must put themselves in the state of mind we call 'grief' 'saddness' or 'melancholy'. if it comes naturally, that probably just means it happens fast and before we can properly react. for most of us, we will have a lot of time to react to our losses, and I think it's normal that some of us don't react in any "significant" or dramatic way
Same here for when my grandmother died. I don't know why, I just didn't.
Ellenna it wasn't even that i mean i could feel happy or sad or angry or anything, i was just blank. and i knew them for years and i loved them but when they died it was like i heard a complete that stranger died
