My 76 year old mother passed away Nov. 25. So far I haven't shed one tear for her. I even tried to make myself, but somehow I just can't feel sad. When the doctor came to tell me in the hospital, all I said was "I guess I should call the funeral parlor, huh?" He just looked at me in such disbelief that I almost laughted. I think he was expecting an hysterical outburst. You see all the time in movies and TV when someone dies, everyone else in deep shock and grief. Is my lack of grief normal? I've felt worse after the death of a family pet. I think what I'm feeling is more a sense of relief that grief. Any ideas?
