Well, my grandmother passed away at 6:30 this morning and now it is 9:30 at night.

I haven’t cried, gotten very upset or anything. I wonder if I am emotionless, numb, or just so insensitive it doesn’t bother me. If there is anyone who knows what I am trying to say or ask please talk to me. I think I need alittle help letting it all out. Unless there really is nothing to let go. Thanks.

I don’t usually feel very sad when people die. It’s not always necessary.

First of all, I’m sorry for your loss.

Secondly, everyone mourns for lost ones in different ways. Some people cry, some people don’t. Just because you don’t cry doesn’t mean you are emotionless.

Give yourself some time, eventually you’ll find the right way to grieve.

I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens next. I usually crack at some point. Thanks for the opinions.

Maybe you are at peace with her dying now. You don’t have to crack possibly.

I hope you are right. The doctors said they found more cancer when they did the final tests. So I know it was better off this way. It definetely takes a weight off her daughters shoulders (my mom). At least it will be when mom gets through all the family hassles with the will and all.

She said she wanted us to let her go 1 day before she went so she was ready and that makes me feel better knowing she was feeling that way. So yeah. We shall see.

People grieve in there own space and time. Reality doesn’t sometimes hit until way afterwards. It may hit you when you least expect it. Or you may simply be at peace with a natural event that will happen to each of us at some point in time.

its called shock… also… as anon said.. people grieve in all different ways… depending on how close you were to your grandma.. it makes a difference in how one grieves.. also… you knew she was suffering.. and with her now in peace and no more pain… it helps you to understand that she is not suffering anymore… and helps with the grieving also..
