Guilt or depression

Since the sudden passing of my mother, and then my father's suicide, and then my sister's untimely passing, every time I don't feel absolutely depressed, the slightest glimpse of anything resembling happiness, I suddenly feel immense guilt at not being depressed. Is this normal? Do other people experience this?

I think it's entirely normal. But when you think about it, do you think your loved ones would want you to feel guilty about feeling happy? I know I wouldn't.

Grief is a tough row to hoe and you will feel sad often enough in the coming days. It's not disrespectful to live your life.
