Am I cold-hearted?

So, I found out last night at work that a woman we work with has cancer all through her body, and now they’ve found it in her brain. The doctors give her 3 months. I was saddened to hear the news, but could not shed a tear for her. Am I cold-hearted? I don’t know her that well, I just know of her. I’ve been filling in in the office for her on Thursday nights since she’s been out of work. I just wonder if I should be feeling more? It’s an odd feeling… Makes me wonder.

Maybe it’s all the "circle of life" thing or something. Maybe I’m just thinking that her pain and suffering will soon be over, and she’ll be moving forward into the next life, or afterlife, or whatever may be ahead. I dunno…

But on the other hand, someone’s good news will make me really happy. Like my friends getting engaged on Christmas, or another friend who had her baby. Maybe it’s because I’m closer with them on a regular basis?

I’m very confused…

I don’t think you’re cold hearted since you don’t know her. But her 3 last months might be a chance to get to know her, if that is possible. I think it’s just that you can’t cry really easy, and you’re not so close to her

Id definitely say youre NOT cold hearted at all… if youre not really that close to her, i can imagine it would be hard to have such strong emotions about such news, even if it is quite sad to hear. *knocks on your head* Sounds all right to me =D <3 hugs n love,
