Not sure how I should feel.

[jaealltheway]

My brother died about six years ago in the Iraq War, I was thirteen, and he was my best friend. I had a breakdown after the funeral, because of that my mother locked my brother room, and I haven't gone in there since. I went home yesterday morning because it was spring break, and decided to finally go into my brothers room. I was expecting to be hit with a bunch of emotions, but instead I felt nothing. I didn't even feel like I missed him. I don't understand why I don't feel anything. I should feel something, right?

It has been quite some time since he passed away. You probably don't feel that depressed about it. That isn't a bad thing. You don't have to cry, or break down to show that you are upset. You show it in different ways. Deep down, you miss your brother. You have come into acceptance of it. He is no longer with us. I know that the memories that you had with him are still there. He isn't forgotten. With grieving, there comes a time where we start to accept that the person has passed. There probably will be times where you will become emotional. That is normal. Like I said, people take death differently. They grieve in different ways. I'm sorry about your loss. Stay strong.
