    Everyone reacts to loss differently. When one of my best friends died this year, I felt just like you do--emotionless. Numb. It wasn't until his brother spoke at his funeral that I broke down in tears. And when my grandfather died last year, I was completely numb the whole time, but lost in thought for a few days.

    So basically, being numb is just how you react to loss. The fact that you're numb and you know it shows that the emotionlessness is actually full of emotion :) . Don't worry.

    And I'm empathetically sorry for your loss.

    -IMP ;) :)

    Nothing is wrong with you. Everyone is different in how they handle the hard spots in life. You have handled this situation as best you can. Your father has done the same. You are normal and no one can tell another how and when to mourn the loss of a loved one. You sound like a very mature person. I hope your father is doing better.

    Maybe because you were trying to be strong for your dad? Maybe your grandfather was mean or abusive to you sometime? My godmother died and she treated me pretty sh**** sometimes. I didn't cry when she died. I wasn't glad or sad she died, I just didn't care but I did feel angry that she could've made things much better and she didn't even bother.

    provide her all the affection & help which you would be able to & basically be there for here. God forgives & loves everybody! enable her understand that her grandfather nevertheless loves her & remains observing over her.additionally,tell her it is okay to have a majority of those unhappy emotions because of the fact she has in basic terms lost a distinctive relative! i understand they have grief counselors in maximum all communities & many times its unfastened. considering that this remains very recent,she has in basic terms began to in basic terms initiate grieving & it is going to take it slow & persistence to get by using this. everybody grieves in yet another way & at their very own p.c...reliable luck to you.

    when my dad passed away, my brother (13 at the time) didnt cry. He showed no emotion, but obviously he was hurting really badly. Some people just dont show emotion, and its normal

    you're most likely in denial, in shock. It's normal to feel this way..
