A couple of months ago, my grandmother died. Everyone on my mother's side of the
family was depressed for quite a while. Yet I wasn't. I did like my grandmother,
though I didn't often speak with her since she didn't speak much English. And I
think she was a nice person, but when she died I didn't feel sad. Is that
strange?
Not strange at all. When my father committed suicide a few months ago, I wasn't
sad. I was just shocked. You might be able to handle those kind of things better
than other people. That's the case with me. And besides, not being sad doesn't
mean you didn't love your grandmother. Everyone grieves in different ways, while
some people don't grieve at all.
Everyone morns the loss of loved ones differently. You might not have been
really connected to her in a special way, strongly, or you might not be the type
of person who really morns... there are many reasons for you to not feel loss
from her passing. Some people are even comforted when loved ones die because
they believe they're in a better place or no longer suffering (usually how I
react)... so some don't morn because of that.
Peace is peace, for you and for her. I'm sorry about your loss and I hope that
your family will be comforted and continue on with their lives and with their
loving memories of her. Take care and remember that those who are gone are never
lost, as long as they are remembered and loved. ^^
nothing strange about that at all. i can relate. i was the same way when my
gramps from my mom's side died, too. although i didn't know him all that well, i
just stood there without any emotions. i didn't feel sad, regret, shock, or
anything of that sort. i know in my case, i knew it was something to be
expected. he was old and with high blood pressure. i'm surprised he lived as
long as he did (must've been the rice. hahaha) anyway, maybe subconsciously, you
knew that death is natural and it's bound to happen to everybody one day and so
you accepted that fact. or not. who knows what other people think. just my
little bit.
Nothing wrong with that same situation as me( it was the father's side though) I
didn't felt anything negative because I know she lived a good life and being one
of the persons that she saw in her last moments it gave me no regrets

It was the same situation with my grandmother. She was very old and she had high
blood pressure and heart problems. And I dound it hard to feel any real emotions
when she died.

Maybe because you had no regrets while others in your family did.

Not strange. Consider yourself lucky you weren't sad. I mean did you really want to be sad?

I'm guessing you didn't know her to much, talk to her, etc. That might be the reason why you weren't sad.
I don't think its strange.
not.not at all.When my grandfather died.I`m not really sad.He was one of the great person I ever see though.But well!
Theres nothing strange about not being sad during it. You didn't know her very well and can't be expected to feel the same things as the others did.
Yeah that wasn't strange
