Is it OK that I never feet numb ?

My Mum had the same thing Steven Hawking has. She passed about 2 months ago. When dad told my brothers and I, I felt shocked for about a minute but that was it, it didn't last very long. I mostly feel relieved. I've had a few moments when I've felt overwhelmingly sad, and I've only cried twice since then.

Everyone goes on about how you're supposed to feel numb for a while afterwards and it seems like everyone cries every other day when it wears off. I haven't felt any of that.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
