DMX, everyone reacts differently and grieves in their own way, so don't feel like you haven't been emotional enough. Death never makes any sense...one can just hope find their own unique therapy; of dealing and coping with it.
My father had a huge family; his mother was one of 18 siblings, so there were always lots and lots of relatives. Which also meant there were funerals every few years. I have been going to them ever since I was a baby and seeing someone lying in a coffin, really doesn't have an effect on me, anymore. I just try to remember all the good times and memories I had with this particular person and I feel better. I'm not that much of an emotional person, myself. (Although, nothing could of prepared me for the loss of my mother, brother and then father...within the past six years.) Makes one grow up, real fast.
