You have a sad feeling for a moment, then it passes

I feel obliged to note that for some people, with some lost, it never quite passes. Or, it returns regularly. Or all those losses accumulate.

I don't necessarily mean with me, but there is research to suggest this is true in general. Also, after having reached a certain stage of life, and of experiences, and witnessing others, I think it can be true.

Enough trauma and lose and eventually you stop feeling much of anything. It's weird when something happens that Intellectually you understand that should or once did make you sad, happy, etc; but you feel nothing at all.

I have only lost people who where peripheral in life but for me it's feels like the world just becomes emptier. It's an odd feeling considering I hadn't interacted with some of these people in years.
