[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 371760, member: 1872"] When my dad died I didn't feel a thing. I had become numb from him years ago. I'm pretty sure now he had Asperger's, which I didn't know about during his lifetime -- he was extremely distant and impossible to please (I thought). Anyway I didn't feel bad, didn't feel good. Maybe kind of shocked that I felt absolutely nothing. That's a loss too. My dad died suddenly of the flu, after surviving (as in cured) stage four cancer of the larynx. I found him on the floor of his apartment. As years go by I get little glimmers of feeling. They feel good -- even the sad feelings. I'm glad now I at least get the chance to understand him, and have feelings for him. I want to encourage you on your journey of feeling/figuring out your feelings for your dad. You're not alone. You probably already know that the story I'm telling you is sad, but I'm telling it to you as an encouragement. My relationship with my dad is still growing. It's a hard time. Sending hugs. And love.
