Grief after death... denial?!
Question: Grief after death... denial.?
My grandmother died on Halloween. My dad had a stroke while waiting for her to die, I went back and forth from room to room and was there when she died. My dad almost had a nervous breakdown. So now my husband and I have temporarily moved in with him to watch him. also, my husband almost had a heart attack a couple days ago and a couple weeks before all of this started, we found out he needs open heart surgery to repair to defective valves or he'll be dead in a few years. BUT we have no insurance. So, it's difficult.
okay, now my question is.... why don't I feel anything.? I'm grumpy and tired a little, but other that that. I feel pretty normal - just weird.
What's wrong with me.? And Am I going to completely flip later on.?Health Question & Answer

You are absolutely normal. You are experiencing a defense mechanism. You know that things are really bad for you now and your mind has simply put on a survival mode for the time being and essentially in the early stages of denial.
There are 5 stages of grief. These are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. You will most likely go through these in order.

I'm no doctor, but yes I would say you are on "auto-pilot." The grief is going to come one way or another. You're not going to completely flip, but you will feel the pain--you have to. If you can't afford to see a counselor, I would advise getting some books about dealing with grief.Health Question & Answer
