Not necessarily "abnormal"; During my time in the Crotch, lots of my fellow Marines died in the Battle for Hue City all around us. Even now, so many years later, I don't feel "grief" but just think to myself, "well, that's life and death and it comes for all of us".

The Shrink at VA told me it is part of PTSD "Anhedonia" or something like that where I don't feel passionate sadness or grief. I just figure its like that saying "There's Always Something and You can't do a Fucking Thing about it.".

I felt more sadness and grief when my dogs died this summer than when anyone in my family died. It's not just you, mate.

You'll only feel grief to the extent they were relevant in your life.

It depends on who dies.

How many people turned on you for not being vaccinated?

I cried like a little bitch when my Cat died....

Didn't shed 1 tear when Mom and Dad passed.

It depends on how involved you were with your parents. If you talked every day, it's very different than if you see them a few times a year.

Nah it's ok. Sometimes they just don't pluck those heartstrings.

Have you had a dog die? That’s the test.

When my dad died, I didn't even cry. I had finally seen him for the narcissistic manipulator that he really was and lost love and respect for the guy. When my mom died, it was the opposite. I am still trying to cope, years later. She was just as narcissistic, but the difference was, in her later years she started to realize what she had done wrong and tried to fix it. She put forth the effort. I love her for that. I will always wish the good part could have lasted much, much longer.

My mom died in March , still no tears. Not sure how to feel about that
