I Know Pain, Grief And Suffering

I'm kind of grieving. But I oddly don't feel anything. I know that's normal because people have different ways of grieving and dealing with death but it's weird when you actually experience it and feel nothing. I cared about that person and still do, and I miss them but I already feel fine. Again, I know this is normal but I can't help but feel guilty. It's almost as if I'm forgetting about them and that's not what I want.

It’s one of the many phases of grieving. I felt the same thing for a period of time after my mom died. Everyone would ask what I was feeling and I would simply say numb

@Hoodski Thank you for your answer. It makes me feel a bit better because it reminds me that I am not alone in this!

@goagainsttheflow definitely not alone and I am always willing to talk with people. Always a pm away

When my mom died I didn't feel anything, I loved my mom dearly but there wasn't even a tear from my eye that fell, I remember thinking there must be something wrong with me. I would catch myself trying to call her, it was liked she wasn't dead to me. Until the first mother's day and that's when I truly started my grieving process I think. There wasn't anything wrong with me for not excepting it. I had to come to terms in my own time and there's no reason for you to feel guilty either, as long as you can remember that person and it sounds like you do, don't beat yourself up thinking there is more you can do. Your keeping the memorie alive, I'm sorry for your loss

Justice for all

depends on how one looks at it. for myself … i was happy the person[i](s)[/i] died … others may have different outlook.

@muffinman I can kind of understand that. Although I'm not happy my friend died, part of me is relieved that she is finally freed from her misery.
