I think my heart is broken

[Eye Stigmata]

I know it might sound weird, but I think I'm immune to death...
It doesn't make me upset anymore.
I've lost so many people in my life, I've probably been to about 20 funerals, maybe a few more than that....and I just don't feel the hurt anymore.

I don't know how to make myself react to death now that I don't....Is this normal? Can this happen to people?....Can someone just experience so much death that it eventually becomes meaningless?

I'm sorry if this sounds brutally awful....but I don't know why I'm like this, I didn't used to be...

Hi monkey munch ,

What you are describing is a natural reaction to over exposure to pain , at times
our emotional capacities shut down until we can deal with them , this happens after a traumatic experience ,a feeling of numbness when we seem to be indifferent to pain or suffering . It doesn't sound brutally awful .. if you are seeing a therapist or counsellor it would be a good idea to discuss this with him or her .

Hello MonkeyMunch,

"Can someone just experience so much death that it eventually becomes meaningless?"
Yes, eventually it may become just that... meaningless, Period.
To me it rhymes me of war, but it could be any situation these days.
