I felt the same way when my grandparents passed. My mawmaw passed when I was 9 but I didn’t feel sad mostly cause I had only seen her a couple times in my life. Plus my mom has talked about how abusive and neglectful she was. My pawpaw passed in September and I didn’t feel sad for him either. I was glad he wasn’t suffering anymore but I don’t miss them like my mom does. Grieve is weird and I hope knowing that someone else has experienced a similar feeling helps you feel better

but he was a good grandpa. he loved me very much, and i loved him too. Maybe it’s cuz i’ve been preparing myself for it (he had cancer) so it doesn’t feel as sad as a sudden death would? i’m not sure

Potentially. My pawpaw’s death was also not sudden as he has been fighting cancer for months and had been in and out of the hospital for years
