As always, your posts to Neve are so beautiful. You honor her with every word. A numb feeling is certainly grief. Tears are only a small piece of the complex emotions induced by grief. Standing alongside you.
I too did not cry at my son’s funeral. It was for so many of the reasons you said…numbness primarily. But I did make a speech advocating for what a wonderful, brave and kind young man he was. I wanted most of all to honour him, to remember him and the life he could have led if he’d not been saddled with his illness. You honour Emily beautifully in your writing, keep doing this, it is just as important as crying tears.
