nothing, cause God can give you a peace about things before it happens. See that's the love of God, He loves His children so much until, He prepares our hearts before hand. So when a tragedy comes, YOU'RE READY!!! Appreciate that God sent His Spirit who is the ultimate Comfortor. I send all my prayers to you and your family. Rejoice in the Lord, He don't have to suffer here on this Earth anymore.

30 minutes of crying is not "no tears." Grief hits different people different ways. One thing is for certain, your stepfather would be proud and happy to know that you reflected on all of those good times rather than being overly saddened. Not everyone in this world passes with such memories instilled in either their biological or step children. Maybe you could do some kind of memorial activity with others who felt the same way.

Sometimes your grief is delayed. Mine was when my mother died. I was taking care of her and got up one morning and found her dead. I did not cry for a couple of weeks. I think I was in shock.
When my father died, I did not cry much at all. I loved him, but he had been sick a long time and it was a relief that he was out of pain.
There is no normal reaction to grief and missing someone. We all handle it differently.
I am sorry for your loss.

Sorry about your loss.
Someone gave me this website to one of my questions: http://www.helpguide.org/mental/grief_loss.htm
I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
If this was last Saturday, it could be a state of shock, numbness, and being overwhelmed.
I cried and panicked the day I saw my mother and then the overwhelming sense of being sickened and numbness came (but with the pain hiding underneath it). Now I'm bouncing around, having feeling of sickness and gut and heart wrenching pain, along with the numbness and traumatic memory of seeing her body pop up.
I'm trying to take care of me....

I know, I kind of felt the same way after my grandmother died. It kind of hits you, but you feel like you should be in more emotional pain. It's weird...the realization that someone close to you is gone may come when you least expect it. I'm sorry for your loss.

Crying is not everyone's response to death. Just let yourself grieve however works for you. No one should expect anything of you.
