Oh my gosh this has happened to me a lot recently! (Or maybe I just never noticed it before.)
Depending on how close I was to the person, it will take me anywhere from an hour to a week to mourn the loss. Then my "f* it" mentality kicks in and I don't give a crap anymore. :)
That's a very healthy attitude @lenadr ! I wish I had a thick skin.
I've built it up layer by layer over the years. And believe me, maintaining such thick skin is a constant struggle!
It's easier to feel. Everything. All the time.
But it's painful too. :(
