(Anonymous) 2011-03-04 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)A lot of people don't grieve when their lives aren't directly impacted. Yes, your friend died, but what changed? You didn't talk to them on the phone once a month? You stopped exchanging the occasional email? I'm not trying to be cold hearted or callous here, but these are people you've already grown apart from. They're not members of your nuclear family or your basic support system. Your life in general remained the same when they died, so we can't really expect you to be broken up over it.
I sincerely doubt OP has ever lost a spouse, or a child, or a current constant companion.

For instance, for children taking care of ill and dying parents often don't grieve when they die. Are those parents physically present in those children lives? Yes. Would the life of those children significantly change when their parents died? Yes. Would those children be close to those parents? Yes. And yet, the actual death had no emotional impact. And many many people get upset when someone dies who they haven't though of in years, be it family or famous person, or that one person they had met on the street who said something nice.
In other words, your definition of closeness might absolutely involve emotional, physical impact and some continuity in perpetuum unto death of the two, but your definition is by no means absolute. Nor is grief triggered or untriggered by metaphysical proximity.
The brain is not 2 dollar hooker, turning it on emotionally just cause someone's waving the cash all the time.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-05 12:11 am (UTC)(link)It's insulting to question someone's emotions but not there lack of emotion?
Not everyone feel in the same way that others to, that doesn't make them broken. So long as they can carry on in society and be content they are no better or worce than more feeling people

(Anonymous) 2011-03-05 04:23 am (UTC)(link)As for your first point, different people grieve in different ways. A few years ago my grandmother had a stroke and died (and before you pull your "but your everyday life wasn't changed! bs on me, I lived in the same house as her since I was born, saw her every single day of my life, helped her cook most days, etc) and I never cried about it. I was never sad or upset, I just sort of skipped that phase and moved on to "all right, she's gone, but I have to move on with my life". Some people react this way, it happens.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-05 11:05 am (UTC)(link)People accuse anon of quick assumptions, but they do the same :/
-If somebody close to you dies, you normally would grieve.
-Your mother doesn't have to be close to you, just because she has this "title".
