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.
