"have have had Aphantasia all my life and SDAM. I recently lost my beloved mother and now its like she never existed. During the death process, when I was with her, I had all of the feelings and tears. When I think of her death now, its distant, like something I read a while ago that made me horribly sad at the time, but I cant recall the story anymore. When I talk about her or see photos I am still not effected by grief. It has only been a few months. My therapist is not educated about aphantasia so I don't really talk much about this. The few times I have tried I can see she does not understand. My husband says it might be a blessing not to feel grief. At the moment it feels like a void and a personal failure."
