Last week my grandma died. Ive been close to her, she helped through tough times. But when i heard news of her death, all of my emotions flooded out of me, and i felt nothing. I was not happy,sad or anything . Is this normal?
I look at death differently I think that they went on a trip I will see them again
Everyone grieves in their own way. A mechanism of coping with stress is subconsious denial. When my grandfather died I didn't cry until I read the eulogy becase that was when I couldn't ignore the issue anymore. 'tis normal.
Your a socialpath. 1 in 25 (i think... Dont quote me on that) people are.
If you've had loads of stuff happen to you its normal just try to get your emotions back, youll need to grieve if you was close to her or anger then becomes the problem.
I do that too. I've experienced the deaths of three people I was close to in my life, but all three times, I barely cried. Maybe it was because they were all very sick when they died, so I felt that they'd be much happier in heaven ( they were all good people). I still feel sad but I also feel like they are in heaven waiting for me so I'll see them again.
I know how you feel. Sometimes I want to grieve and wish I could cry and what not but it won't happen. It's nothing you can just get over though. A death is a permanent thing and so is the coping process. Usually, tears and extreme grief won't hit you until you realize the impact that it has on your life. For example, when my dog died, I was numb for a few days. I loved that dog but for some reason I felt no emotion. However, when we got our new puppy, that's when my tears started to flow. Seeing a new puppy instead of my old dog forced me to realize that my old dog was dead and I was immediately devastated. It took me a couple of weeks to begin accepting our new puppy.
Dude, people in my life die ALOT, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't know why.
I study psychology. Trust me, it's normal. It's a coping strategy. It can be considered a very mild kind of disassociation, where you shut yourself down so you can function under the pressure of something traumatic or extremely stressful. Someone mentioned Denial and that is a part of the steps many people in mourning go through. I'm sorry for your loss; I'm close to my Grandma too. Don't be hard on yourself; your Grandma wouldn't want that.
Same, I wud b the same way if all my family died I have really considered this as freaky as that is
I'm the same way. But for me, i've been through a lot in my life so Im kinda numb
It could be. Sometimes as a natural defense mechanism we go into a state of numbness. You might feel it later on, even months before you start feeling sad about it. Or not. Either way, it's pretty normal.
