When does death of a close love one hit you?

Am I ass for not feeling grief for someone close to me that died Friday night.

This is someone I grown up with since grammar school and I'm kinda mad at myself for not feeling grief

grief is weird. you may be experiencing some sense of denial, possibly. i'm in a grief forum and it's not terribly uncommon for it to hit people weeks after the fact, if not longer. maybe it won't hit you, or maybe not in the way you expect it to. i worried a lot i wasn't grieving properly when i lost my mom. nothing about grieving feels "right" imo, even if you grieve more traditionally. and maybe that's why most people acknowledge there's no "right" way to grieve, and everyone grieves differently

i'm sorry for your loss 🖤
