I felt the same way when my mother/grandmother died (I was raised by my grandparents).

I think it has something to do with one's mind disconnecting emotion from things that they care about to protect itself from becoming hurt again. Desensitization, if you will. Some people just become so hurt in life that they become used to it, and their brain compensates by desensitizing emotions to ease the pain.

It does not mean you don't care and there is certainly not anything wrong with you. There is also the issue of many people feeling mixed emotions when tragic events happen, as one would not know what to think or how to act in those given situations.

Whatever the case may be, the fact that you wrote this journal expressing your perplexity as to why your not feeling anything or reacting to his passing shows that you do care for him. It may not feel like it now, but you do, and always will.

As a person who dealt with similar issues throughout his life, I hope this offered a little more insight to your situation.

You have my heartfelt condolences.

Take care.
