Personally, I think everyone responds differently. I can relate in some way to your experience. My father passed away when I was 11 from brain cancer, and everyone expected me to break down. From that point on it was constant trips to the school counselor and unending reminders that "yeah, your dad is dead. So sorry about that."
Maybe it was because he got cancer when I was so young and I never got to meet that "real" him, but I just accepted his death. There was nothing to be done about it. I was raised a Christian to believe that once people die, they are set free from the pain and suffering of this world. Losing him was sad, yes, but why mourn for someone who is finally at peace? It just didn't seem right to me. He was a good husband, and a good father, and he passed on.
Well, anyway, that's my two cents. Didn't expect to be this involved in the comments section of a pony picture today. Oh well!
