Hello OUR,

Greetings to you! My name is Evelyn and I recently got engaged to my childhood best friend named Roland. Roland is a fantastic person. He makes me happy in every way possible and we are very much in love with each other.

Something happened quite recently that made me question my entire line of reasoning and even wonder if it is normal to have such thoughts or if it is just PLAIN EVIL.

My mother-in-law to be who was sick for a little while, suddenly died following the illness and for whatever reason, I DO NOT have any feelings in my heart whatsoever.

Even though I never got to meet her, I know how close she was to Roland and also have learned about her “bossy” personality.

It’s not like I am happy that she died but I just DO NOT FEEL ANY SADNESS in my heart and equally do not know how to feel about her death.

My question is “Does it make me a bad person?” Is there something wrong with me? How come I don’t feel torn, broken and devastated just like Roland does? I love him so much and I want to share in his pain but how come I feel no emotion towards the death of his mother? Is this normal? Please help me!
