I got bad family news in early November. Another death. It was somebody else that I never got to meet, but was directly and quite closely related to me
I've been thinking about it for a few months, and have even brought it up with my psych, but nothing's really helped. It's weird because I know that I'm meant to feel something, and indeed do feel something, but it's unidentifiable and not overwhelming emotion
Apparently 2 days before he died, he tried to get in contact with me through child protection. Because of bureaucracy, I didn't find out about it until over 2 weeks later. That made it worse. Nobody knows what the message was, but trying to contact me was one of the last things he ever did :/
Iām so sorry, Baku. hugs
Thanks Llab š«
