Re: I just really really need to vent

Even if you are related, without some sort of relationship or close bond, it's understandable that you wouldn't react the way other family members might.

When my maternal grandmother died (and she had been doing badly, so it wasn't unexpected), I just felt a little sad. I saw her much more often than you saw your grandfather, but I still felt like I should have reacted more. I think we were all more relieved than anything that she was no longer suffering.

When my paternal grandmother died, I cried. We were much closer even if I didn't see her as often. I sniffled a bit after my mother told me the news and once I was alone in the shower I all-out bawled.

But really, it all depends on how you react to big events. So yes, it's normal if you don't feel anything. I can see why your mother might be upset that you're not reacting if she herself is grieving, even though she should not be accusing you of anything.
