am i a monster?

[Gitsnik]

Well we Aussie blokes (at least those of us who grew up in the sticks rather than the major cities) aren't exactly known for our emotions. So no, not a monster. If it does kick in and you do cry, yay for being a snag or whatever the appropriate acronym is, if not - welcome to life.

I think you're from NZ though, so feel free to cry all you like sheepy (that was a joke people!!)

People react differently to death. Simple as.

A lot of people think they're supposed to end up incredibly emotional from what we see on television but not everyone does.

You're not a 'monster' since clearly it is something that is bothering you (or you wouldn't have asked).

Like everyone else has said, it can take quite a while for the death of a loved one to sink in fully and hit you.

Well, everybody dies eventually. I've never really seen the point in getting sad myself. Then again i'm used to 'goodbyes'. Someone dying is just like they said goodbye and you won't see them again, they can still live on in your memories.

One grandma died when I was 5, the other died when I was 8. Didn't feel much, but probably because I wasn't attached to them. At all.

Now, if either my sister or parents would die... I was really sad when my dog almost died (ill kidneys), but that's because I've been with her for the last 11,5 years.

But yeah, you are a monster if you are proud of it and announce it on the Internet so everyone can see it. What, you asked a question and I answered.

When my Nan died I was the same. I just sort of blocked it out. I take family disasters like that, I don't know why.

 

[fenixrising]

its been like 1 month or so now.....i was kind close, i knew my grandfather better than aunt.
havent cried a drop

grief is a strange thing. It may hit you at an unexpected moment. But you must be upset or you would not feel bad about it.
If you were a monster you would not even care.

I had the same thing happen to me, all 4 of my grand parents funerals, didn't give a damn, would have rather been home playing games or watching tv.

My grandma died last year and I felt nothing for two months. Then I felt HORRIBLE for all the times I complained about her cooking when she was alive, because she was just trying to enjoy a meal with me when I saw her as a kid...

A night after she died I had a dream where I saw her as a young woman in a garden, planting vegetables. She was much younger than I was used to seeing her, but it was recognisably her in that vision. When I woke up I was at peace that she's somewhere better, but I'll never forget that particular experience. BTW if any of you guys saw her in that vision, you guys would have regarded her as a G-MILF, a term I don't like applying myself because it's awkward. Heh. It certainly helps me deal with losing grandma if I have a sense of humor about her.
