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.

He would probably be saddened if you were still crushed. And happy to know y9u wish he was still there. Perhaps thinking about him when you see something familiar. That's the best memorial. Think of a missing one and smile.

@approachingmyexpirationdate yes, this is so true. Whenever I see porridge or shortbread I think of him! And it was my birthday recently, it was weird not being surprised that he remembered my birthday & sent a card - because he couldn't possibly remember
