Five months ago my Grand Mother Died she was a Sweet old Lady.I was at home when I my brother came to me and said she had a died form her stroke the first thing that I did was laugh and said well thats to bad. during the funeral I was the only one dressed normal and I did not even feel sad I felt normal. than a week later my Grate uncle died of heart failure when I got the news I didn't seem to care both of them were really close to me. I didn't even bother going to his funeral (I don't know why) I went to the movies instead. and a month later(now) I feel emotionless I fell Hollow.

Well everybody grieves in their own way. Maybe it just has'nt completely sunk in yet. At least you have all your good memories, and I'm sure that you will grieve in your own way in your own time.

I do the same thing. Death does not make me sad in any way. Just because others cry and mourn doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you, it just means that death does not bother you.

There's no reason to feel hollow, you've just accepted the death of others. Hey it's DEATH, it happens!

Yea I'm the same, my aunt died and I loved to visit her, mostly because she made the best damn apple pie in the world=O
When she died I had to force myself to look sad in front of my family.. Seriously, people die and I don't give a damn, once they're dead they don't complain anyway..

So you're normal, I think^^

Really thier nothing wrong with you. I'm the same way. Its just we don't want it to take the best of us. Down in the inside tho it was eatting you up so now it shows. you just have to think they wouldnt want to you to be sad everyday. They want you to live happy. I mean I do miss my brother from time to time but I know he would want me to live a good happy life.

well, if you cared about them, thats normal. but you shouldve atleast showed respect to your grandparents and wore black to show that you atleast cared about them. & i bet you feel hollow now because you didnt give two shits when they died. and now you regret feeling that.

You are perfectly normal. Everyone grieves in their own specific way. Sometimes shock can be difficult to overcome and you may not grieve openly for months or even years. Some people laugh, some people go on holiday, some turn to drink. Just be glad that you at least feel something is wrong, so you know you're not a sociopath!

Just remember to be mindful of everyone else's grieving too. You may grieve in your own way, but be sure not to upset anyone else while you do.
