Is a “lack of caring” normal?

I don’t know how to refer to what I’m feeling, but it’s strange. Things are happening all around me, but I feel indifferent to the vast majority of it. My mom died last year, I lost my best friend, and I’m starting college soon… Still, I can’t seem to care much at all for any of these things. It’s only so strange because I still feel some things. I’ve been mad at people and felt sad over things, but I can’t seem to take anything seriously. It’s beginning to make my family upset because of how little I care about doing things that need to be done.

I’ve always been a bit careless, but not to this extent. I used to truly care about these things and plan for my future, but I find it so difficult because of this. I treat each day like it’s my last- that I don’t have to worry about what tomorrow will bring since I might not have a tomorrow. I’ve been this way for months, and before my mom died or best friend left. Is this normal?
