[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he had been very sick for a while, I think it's normal. We expect our parents to die. If they've been sick or are very old, it's sometimes a relief and we've done our grieving slowly over the years. If you lost your kid and he was like this, I'd be concerned. [/quote]

My husband was devastated when his parent received a terminal diagnosis and extremely stressed throughout the period of their illness. He has outwardly seemed pretty “normal” since their death, though I know he feels sad and misses them. [/quote]

+2. DP. My husband experienced this when his parent received a terminal diagnosis and throughout the illness. And more “normal” after.

When my mom died I was in shock for months after. We also had a tough relationship so her passing was very very complicated to say the least. I didn’t (and still don’t) related to all the things people said to me about grief or a parent passing.[/quote]

This doesn't make any sense. If you didn't have much of a relationship with your mother, then what did you even lose when she died?

Sounds like you need therapy.[/quote]
