Bereavement

Talking Paradox

A couple of weeks ago. He was my last surviving grandparent, the longest lived by about a decade but I don't feel as if I was grieving the way I expected. All of the immediate family were in tears at the commital ceremony, apart from, I think, me. Do any of you have similar experience? I'm a little worried I might be a cyborg.

  • My condolences on your recent bereavement.

    Grief can be a funny old thing, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

    When one of my grandmothers died, I felt indifferent, even though I had loved her dearly. I didn't shed a single tear and still haven't. However, when the other grandmother died, it hit me hard and I felt like all I seemed to do was cry, although I managed to remain composed at her funeral.

    It hit me especially hard when my dad died in 2019. I cried so many tears and still do sometimes. At his funeral though, I laughed, but that was mainly because it was that kind of funeral. We (and he) had wanted it to be a happy occasion, so laughing had been actively encouraged.
