My grandpa passed away today at 4 and moms mad at me cause I’m not freaking out. We were told Thursday he wasn’t going to live much longer so I’ve had time to accept it. AITA for not crying or does my mom have to accept that I am different? He looked nothing like this Thursday he looked so malnourished and skinny it made me sick.
I also experience this anytime someone I know passes away. I always feel weird about it too, like I’m not doing the socially acceptable thing. It’s not that I don’t have emotions or care, I care a lot actually. I think people like us process emotions differently, I don’t usually have the ability to express them externally. I am also an aspie and the way I think tends to be blunt and logical. So when it comes to death and things that are out of my control I just tend to accept it as a part of life, like it sucks to lose someone but imo letting it consume you is much worse than just being stoic about it. I hope your family comes to understand, I think remaining calm could be a sign of emotional strength actually!
Everyone grieves differently. She needs to be understanding of that. I’m sorry for your loss - love, hugs, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family. Hope y’all find peace - losing loved ones is never easy.
I can feel you ~ I equally did not feel the need to cry at some funeral/over deaths of some relatives or people I had to with more closely although their death shook me. Your mom has to accept everyone is reaction differently, while also everyone has a different relational connection to a person, if it is a member of the familiy!
