CloseOur parents rushed inside. They told us that a stray cat (let's call him Scarf) that we had particularly grown fond of for a while had just... well I bet you can fill in the blanks
My younger brother had began crying, whilst my sister and I were comforting him, giving him tissues and the like.
I eventually abandoned my brother to talk with my mom about it. She, along with a friend she had called over, were discussing about Scarf's death
My dad and mom's friend were working on a grave for Scarf, and had put Scarf's body into a box
My brother, sister, and I walked to our back yard to say our goodbyes to Scarf and bury him
We took turns laying flowers on his grave and lied down to say goodbye
The worst part is I think I was being an insensitive prick about it
I hadn't shed a single tear, and I wasn't feeling sick to my stomach, or anything

People process death differently. I tend to push it aside and try not to deal with it, personally. I still haven't cried over my grandfather dying yet, and that was almost 2-3 weeks ago now, where-as the rest of my family were crying and bawling. I'm not insensitive to his death, and I know I'll eventually cry about it, but it takes time, sometimes, before a death is truly felt by some people and not until that lack of presence is felt do they actually react.
It's a bit disconcerting, waiting for the penny to drop, but different people grieve differently, so don't feel as though there's something wrong with you because of it. Not everyone is open about their grief. As long as you weren't making fun over your brother being upset or being an asshole about Scarf's death - like, feeling pleasure over it or making off-colour comments, I don't think you can be faulted for not reacting like everyone else. We all do these things in our own time.

Yeah, it's just part of being individuals. I don't cry about death or loss much either. I'm far more likely to shed a few tears if I forget to do something important or something like that. We all have our quirks, and that doesn't make us bad people. The fact that you're reflecting on this now shows that you're probably not insane or asocial.
