I’m sorry. When I lost my father, I felt like there were emotions I was supposed to feel at various stages, and my actual emotions didn’t line up with the timetable at all. Other bereaved people have reported similarly. So this is just to say, don’t worry about what you’re supposed to be feeling or what feelings are appropriate.

Yes, yes, yes. I’d add to this: don’t worry about when.
I was largely numb while at my father’s shiva; I didn’t fully start grieving until I went back home and had some time without my birth family.
Thank you.
