How do you process the death of someone?

Whenever it's someone I know I get numb in the moment but then I get sad later, when my dad passed I was like that, I didn't cry until later, when my grandparents die I was like that, I didn't cry or feel anything until later..
Just now my aunt passed and I'm feeling numb. I want to let go of something and my chest is feeling heavy but I can't cry.. I just can't.

if it's a sad story online I cry on the spot but not when I know the person on a personal level. I cry later
Why, I want to cry. I want to let go of this emotion.

Not too different from what you describe. When my dad died it's like my mind didn't even know how to process that it even happened. Honestly I still have times where I feel that way. But I've definitely had my moments where it just smacks me in the face that he's gone and never coming back. Loss is so brutal for those of us left behind to face it.
