Question

How Do You Deal With When Your Love Ones Pass Away?

Answer 1

I lost my mom last October, the worst day of my life.  No one can tell you how to deal, grief is different for everyone. I can tell you what I did...I tried counseling, it helped, I was happy to know I was not alone and that my feelings were normal.  My father went to a grieving group, I think it has helped him to be around people going through the same thing as him.  

We also had two memorials for my mother - one where we live now, and one where we lived growing up.  I think my mom probably liked how we honored her.  And then we had a tree planted at the library with a stone, because my mom as an avid reader, she loved the library, and was always checking out books.  We also donated her books to the same library.

Most importantly, I have some of the greatest friends in the world, that are willing to listen to me cry and even let me cry on their shoulder.  

If you need a hug, tell someone, people often don't know what to do when someone they care about loses a loved one.

I hope this helps, I am sorry for your loss.  The pain will eventually get less and less, your tears will fade, but your memories will always be with you.
