[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 324269, member: 7083"] People expect us to feel a certain way over certain events, and when we don't we consume ourselves with guilt. Your feelings are true for you. There is nothing to apologize for. You have reasons for feeling the way you do. You've already dealt with your relationship - or lack of one - with your mother. I think had you not, you would be going through all of those emotions now. I wanted to say, though, when my mom's mom became ill, she didn't have strong feelings about it. Her mom had lung cancer, went in to have part of her lung removed and never woke up from surgery because of cirrhosis of the liver. My mom had already cut her mom out of her life. However, when her mom died she grieved. It wasn't like she would have grieved had she been close to her mom, but she did grieve. And the worst part, was knowing that now she would never be able to have the relationship with her mother that she always wanted. Of course, she had always known that, but I think there is always a bit of hope - or desire - no matter how detached one becomes. [/QUOTE]
