Can you lose a parent and not go into depression?

Posted by Donut on February 17, 2000, at 17:23:16

I have a long history of depression and am now on Effexor XR and Buspar. My mom died in her sleep two weeks ago (my last surviving parent). I cried a lot when I was back at the funeral, but I feel very at peace with her death. I don't think I have unresolved issues with her and I know she is in a good place and at peace. My sister has attacked my viciously, though. She is an attorney and in charge of the estate and is trying to do everything she can to hurt me. Yet I still feel rather calm about all of this. Am I in denial or could it be true that all the work I have done in the past years is really helping make peace with all of this?
