Hi, I don’t understand why I haven’t been able to cry when I have been bereaved, and why I feel so angry with my dad for dying and with myself. Lost uncle in January, my dad in March, a friend in July and MIL in October, feeling emotionally empty and like I can’t deal with life just now. My autistic son is 30 on 1st January so I need to try for him.not sure if I can, he wants to go to pub tonight can’t face it, feel like failing him.thanks for reading
