my dad died today,yet i dont feel anything is this normal??

Answer 1

I am sorry to hear that about your father. Whether or not is normal or not depends on to many variables. The important thing is to give yourself time and to reflect on the relationships you had with your father. I think what your are feeling can be considered normal because he has just passed. The connection you had with your father is also something to think about. Was he ill for a long time or was it sudden. In many cases if the person was ill for a long time then your emotions would have time to adjust to the situation. Many times when it is sudden, there is an extreme feeling of loss. Depending on your situation, it is important that you talk about your feelings. If not to a family member than to a friend. There is no time limit on feelings or how long it takes to begin to have them. You could not be feeling something now, but feel it in 1 hour or 1 day or a month. Let yourself come to terms with his passing, remember him for his good qualities and I am sure that you will slowly begin to feel.

Answer 2

I offer you my sincere condolences.

When my dad died, I was only 12 years old. I didn't cry at that time. I still can play, laugh and I was so happy I don't have to go to school that day. A few months later, I started crying, like something is missing, I don't know why I was crying. Then I realize, I was missing my dad and I'd been in state of denial those first few months. I still cry for him because he died so young and he left us so early.

If you must know, I'm crying now remembering my dad.

You might not feel it today but maybe later on.

Answer 3

there is nothing "normal" about grief or any certain way you should be behaving, thinking or feeling - i am sure a lot of people will say that, but it is true.
You may just be numb from shock, it will sink in soon. I am sorry for your loss and hope you will be supported by your friends and family during this difficult time.

Answer 4

AM so sorry to hear this and people deal with this type of news in different ways weather it was expected or not is still a shock and a loss when a parent dies

Answer 5

I'm sorry to hear that, don't worry, it's perfectly normal. Everyone grieves in different ways, there is no normal, you're probably still in shock.

My brother died in 1999 & it took me a while for the grieving process to kick in.

Just go with it, whatever you're feeling or doing is normal & you're way of dealing with it.

Take care, I know what you're going through.

Answer 6

Im so sorry i think its shock, it may hit you at an unexpected time, take care.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousands winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Answer 7

Im sorry for your loss. I think it is common to feel numb after a death as the reality of it takes a while to sink in. You cant force grief it just unfolds as it unfolds. Take care of yourself and try not to worry whether your feelings are "normal" or not. They are.

Answer 8

I belive that this is normal it takes awhile to sink in. Everyone deals with the loss of a loved one differently. It can also depend on the circumstances.

Answer 9

I am sorry to hear this :( maybe you'll feel the pain later but I hope you never do.. As said above, you're probably shocked .. God bless you and your father and everybody else

Answer 10

Sorry for your loss...the shock may delay the bereavement of your father. The level of pain you feel is based on how close you were with your deceased father.
