Hi there,

Similarly, my mum had a couple of weeks from when we found out something was wrong.. I think when you 'have to be the strong one' or hold the family together, the lack emotions is a defense to having to take that role, I don't think it's that you don't feel, or aren't grieving, but again similarly, I haven't cried as much as I thought I would, instead I just seem to get colder each day with less emotion.. I think it's a way of keeping yourself safe when dealing with the pain would be too much and ultimately compromise you holding everyone else together. I don't have any advice unfortunately, but hope that sheds some light.. Make sure to give yourself space and time if you need it, you are just as important.
