My mother died Thursday morning. She had dementia , not real bad , beginning stages. She died from congestive heart failure.

I haven't shed a single tear , or even felt any real sadness. We were not really close , but I did love her. Wtf is wrong with me ? I know I'm supposed to feel sad , but I don't .

People who aren't close to someone that died generally cry right away and then get over it in a day or two.

People who are close to someone that died often aren't sad at all, but then it hits them weeks later and they are fucked up for a long time.

Or you could have been mentally prepared from the dementia.

That's what I was thinking most people feel relief when a loved one with dementia dies. They basically died when they can't remember you anymore.

She was old and sick, you must have been subconsciously preparing for her death for years so it didn't come to you as a shock.

Everyone handles grief in their own way, give yourself some time to process it all.

When someone very close and important to me died I was the only one who didn't shed a tear over it, even though we were a lot closer that everyone else who was crying their eyes out. Don't know why, really.

You are still focused on "the death of." Death has shock value. Death is not sad. Memories of what you once had and loved combined with the realization that you will never have that again will eventually settle in and you will be sad.

Sorry about your loss

Sorry for your loss. As the caretaker for my mom it took it a while for it to hit me when she passed. On the day she died I don’t remember crying at all. On the one hand it was a relief and on the other there was so much left to do yet so didn’t really have the time to grieve. Eventually the hardship of being her caretaker faded and the memories of her being mom returned to where I felt the loss and still do these seventeen years later.

Vaxxed?

Hopefully not. Even a person with dementia would probably refuse a poisonous experimental injection that kills you.

Coronaronadingdong wasn't even real. It was just a new strain of flu. Over 12000 strains. All are harmless unless you are elderly, sickly or dying from something else.

If it was a real "pandemic" all travel would have been stopped and all borders would have been secured. Then the new flu strain would have passed in two weeks and it would have been over in 2020. The thing was, (((they))) wanted to poison billions of people and get rich.

Remember that they stole 3 years of your life and wealth.

Perhaps you're not crying because you knew the day would come? Or perhaps you are relieved that her dementia didn't start to get really bad?

Yeah, when one of my sisters informed me that she had found our mother dead in her home, she got no reaction from me at all. My mother was a horrible beast...

How are you holding up? Has it hit you yet? Do you feel strangely numb towards otherwise important things? Have you been on autopilot?

Whatever you're feeling, or not feeling; you're still only human.

Memorial service was yesterday Shed a few tears but no real crying. I think it's just because I accept death as a natural part of life. Everyone dies , no exceptions. It's the natural order of things .

I kinda feel like they were the lucky ones.

It hasn't sunk in yet. Completely normal. But it'll hit you eventually, hopefully when you are alone.

My condolences for your loss.
