Dr. Neimeyer answers a question from a daughter whose father died of cancer and Alzheimers, and is having trouble handling it:
"...I do not understand this. My father was always the key person in my life, always gentle and loving and wise. So it makes sense that I would grieve him. But I am concerned that I hardly feel my grief, just a kind of tension, and it does not seem healthy to continue in this state. Can you help me understand myself and what is happening?..."
