I Lost Someone Important to Me

I hate all the soft terms for it. My grandad didn't 'pass away', I didn't 'lose' him; he died. Pure and simple. That was on Wednesday, 5th July 2017. Two days ago. And although I was there when it happened, and I was sobbing so much, I felt so much grief when they took off the machines and I saw him flatline, now I feel nothing. Except it isn't nothing, it isn't the numbness that a lot of people feel. It's literally that I just don't feel sad. I feel all other emotions, I'm completely normal. I just don't miss him, and I'll be laughing with friends at school and forget he ever existed. I'm not sure why that is, and I so desperately want to miss him, I don't know why I don't. It's actually scaring me a bit how little I seem to care even though he meant everything to me when he was alive.

Pass is how you tell someone else you've lost someone. It's more considerate to others then the word death. My condolences. I hope you can outlive him and do him proud.

@twistedrope: I guess so. I suppose the more considerate terms just make me more emotional so I prefer the harsher terms. And thank you, he was 77 and had an alcohol problem, so hopefully!
