How am i going to get over this ?

Question

A few days ago a family member of mine sadly passed away and im having great difficulty dealing with it. I cant eat or sleep. I cant think of anything else and i feel as if like isnt worth living anymore. I feel as if i am going to feel this pain for ever and i really dont want to. This is a hard question to ask but does any one know what i can do to help me move along?

Answer 1

Well you have to face that they are gone and you'll never see them again except in photos.  My friend died in a quad accident 3 years ago and I still get teary when people talk about him.  I went through a rough time for about a year.  I didn't want to remember him and I didn't want to talk to friends or family about him.  I wanted to wipe the memory of him from my mind to make me feel better.  I have managed to get over that by keeping him in my mind and remembering him with friends on the weekend we always went camping.  That helps to dull the pain.  Talk to other people who also miss your family member.

Just remember that if they were around that they would want you to be happy.  The pain may always be there when you think of them but with time it lessens.

Call CommunityMental Health in your area they may have a support group for people who have suffered your loss. Your feelings are normal and I know the pain is great. In time you will be able to function again. You may want to consider counseling to get past the worst. I am sure ey loved, what a nice way to have lived.
