I typically don't grieve like other people. Mainly it's due to me having very low empathy. I've lost family members, and close friends, and I've not cried over it.[1]
I do feel slightly sad that they've 'gone away' but in the same way as if they'd moved to the other side of the world, and thus I'd lost contact with them.
My point is, we all feel things differently. Accept that your process is is how 'you do it' and it's OK for that to be unlike the people around you.

[1] The only time I actually cried, was at a friends funeral, and at the end of the service we had the chance to walk up to the coffin and say a few private words to the deceased. When it was my turn, I barely managed to say anything before I totally lost it and broke down in tears. Took me by surprise to be honest - I don't know why it happened, and it's never happened since.
