what if somone important to you died

death of a loved one must be hard. its never happened to me but my mother died when i was born. my said he was never the same after that.... i also had a guy cry in my arms hysterically for an hour because his uncle died... if you already had a death of a loved one, how did you deal with it?

I am afraid I see death every day I always take note of those that pass away. I was born on the day Latin culture honors their dead love ones that have moved on. I won't say is easy but you must let it all out and then let it go. People need death to give their life meaning and value. But you can't cling to does that died. You need to live on and be strong to honor them and carry on. I have lost love ones that before but I would never waive my life to live in the past. People need to acknowled death and live without fearing it. Not easy, again need to be strong. Is best to remaind oblivious to it so it doesn't bother you. When the need arises seek out people that you can rely on they won't let you fall into depression.

Everyone deals with it in different ways, but I definitely agree with Endless Knight. Find people that won't let you get to depressed. A support structure is the most important thing. I just recently found out what it's like to lose someone and not have that support structure and believe me that it's a horrible feeling.

I experienced death's relatively often in my childhood (Raised on greenland, lots of accidents up there) and I guess I just learned to accept that it is an inevitable part of life, because I havent been affected by the deaths of people I knew here in later years. Sure it is sad, but when it happens from natural causes, such as old age or disease, it isnt that much of a shock and you just move on with life. Also so many people I know have OD'd or commited suicide... After a while you just get used to it. Though I havent lost any parents or siblings yet, so I cant really be definitive.

i've been menber of a website since 2002, we had all become a real tight knit community. A few years ago, the most well loved and respected member died due to cancer. It was such a shock at first, like it didn't register until about half hour later when I was jamming on guitar, and suddenly flipped and after five minutes ended up breaking it. He was a great guy who touched all of our lives, and we still think about him regularly. it's not the same as loosing a family member, but even for a 'net friend' he was greatly loved by many.

My brother committed suicide when I was eight years old. He was 24 at the time, studying. It hit me hard for two years I think. Today I just wish I knew him better. He was a gamer and Weeb like I am now.
