MY UNCLE DIED, AND I FIND THAT I FEEL ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. IS THIS WRONG?

[+] ballot by aya
created Tue Jan 25, 05
I never liked my uncle; I always thought he was an obnoxious prick, hardly ever spoke to him, nor did he really ever speak to me, hardly even to say 'hello.' His death didn't effect me one ioata, so when ppl say to me "I'm sorry about your uncle," I give the obligatory nod, & inside I don't feel nothing, he's like a stranger to me, & I think I should feel something that he died, but I don't. I only care that this has effected my mother so much, & my cousins, but deep down, I don't feel anything for my uncle. Is this wrong of me?

Yes, kinda
No, not really
Not at all
That is normal, everyone grieves differently
Make yourself some TOAST...you'll feel better.

No, not at all. The fact that you care about your mother and cousin's feelings show you're a loving, caring person but it's difficult to have feelings for someone you weren't close to.

No its not wrong, I couldnt mourn for somebody I disliked either it would just be hypocritical.

You clearly care for the people you love - your mother and cousins. Why should you feel anything when an obnoxious prick dies?

by mojo on Tue Jan 25, 05 11:02am [+]

your not alone, i have the same feeling for certain people aswell. Not all Family are your friends. friends are people you meet naturally and enjoy being around with

only kidding (sorry bad taste sometimes!!) - not being upset is not a bad thing at all.

The feelings which are released when someone CLOSE TO YOU dies are unpredictable. I remember laughing when my grandad died... I just didn't know how to deal with it and a chuckle was the first thing that slipped out (which as you can imagine was pretty horrible in front of my Dad)

You cant be a bad person for not feeling grief. You dont chose your emotional reaction to a death because it is often ut of the blue.

The fact that he meant very little to you is the reason why his death hasn't effected you emotionally. And as has been said you are obviously a very compassioante person. You're imediate attention to those around you who have been effected.

Even if you were close to him and felt nothing you would not be a bad person.

Death is a strange thing and it provokes strange reactions. Dont judge yourself.... and dont let anyone else judge you.

bad grammar as always - sos

I agree that it's nothing to worry about. I went through the same thing when my grandmother died. She had always been mean to me and her death meant nothing to me, except that it upset my father.

Not at all. If your uncle didn't care about you, and you didn't care about him, no sense trying to feel something you can't feel. Be honest with yourself.

We all deal with death in different ways, aya. When my maternal grandmother died, one of my aunts didn't shed a tear, and I don't think she has to date, while my mother, her other sister and my two uncles all wept bitterly.
