Members towardsatree Posted February 1, 2018 Members Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 My brother died in a car accident last April and I feel nothing over it. I know I should feel soemthing but I don’t. He was 21. It just feels like he’s gone away or just not around, not that’s hes in the ground. Anybody else had these feelings? Nobody understands it. It makes me angry that I can’t feel anything and I hate myself for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nicole-my grief journey Posted February 2, 2018 Members Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Sorry for your loss. When I couldn’t cry and felt numb after my brothers death, I later discovered it was because I was in shock. Now that the shock has worn off I have been letting out all the emotions and think that my mind and body wouldn’t let me feel them right away because it’s just too painful. And even though I know logically my brother is gone, I am still having those thoughts that he’s going to comeback, call and I have to stop myself from asking my parents “ Did you talk to Brian today?” (even though, AGAIN, I logically know he’s gone). It’s wild how the minds works. Try to tell yourself in those moments you are having those thoughts, that it’s ok for you to grieve however you need to. Meaning not crying, feeling numb, feeling angry...whatever the feeling is. It’s ok because not everyone grieves the same way and in the same amount of time. But try not to beat yourself up emotionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
