I have been to a few funerals of people I care about, and I am always amazed at how life does go on. If it were my children, I would be devestated, but would try to devote my life to doing good in their names.
Best wishes.

It's already happened to me.
I will be very honest with you. The death of someone you love is absolutely the worst thing you will experience in this world. The fact that it happens to everyone at some point or other doesn't make it any better.
For a long time you feel like a shark, you just have to keep moving, putting one foot in front of the other, because if you stop too long, you'll die.
You go through all the stages of grief, and it's a miserable process. There are days so dark that you don't think you'll ever make it. There's this strange pain in your chest, a kind of heaviness that makes it hard to breath, which never leaves. It leads me to believe it's the reason people refer to a heart being "broken", because that's what it feels like.
Eventually, the acute pain goes away, and only comes to visit from time to time. It is replaced by a dull sort of ache, but it takes a very long time to come to that point. You finally learn, at least I did, that your heart is, indeed, broken, and will never be quite whole again, but you have to go on because it's the only heart you have.
One day, you realize that you can breathe a little easier. You still think of your loss every day; it's a secret shadow that you carry with you everwhere. Others cannot necessarily see it, but you can, and are always aware of it. You find that thinking of your loss doesn't completely immobilize you any more. You are finally able to think of your loved one and remember the good times, and even laugh about them. The pain never goes away completely, but you learn to deal with it better. Simply put, you learn, over time, how to go on with your life.

You continue with your life. Give yourself the time to morn, cause it is going to happen. Then live each day as it comes. You still have a life to live. Do not shut down your life because of the loss of another. Rejoice in the times that you have had. If it does just get to be unbearable, then talk to someone. This is an area where Clergy might be beneficial to you. Talking to God also helps. He wants it all, your anger, sadness, despair, the whole gambit of emotions. I pray that God will comfort you during your time of loss.

Death is always something terrible for the loved ones that remain behind. However, thats life, there is nothing you can do about it. You have to move on. Let me ask you this, if you died, would you want your loved ones left behind to mourn, be sad and stop living? What do you think the person would want you to do that had passed away? Allow yourself the time to grieve, thats a normal process, but then you need to move on and enjoy life, because you only have one to live!

Well, I've lost several people in my life, including a baby son, and I'm still alive and kicking, because God has purpose for my life and yours too. That's why you MUST go on living, if for nothing else to let others know that life goes on. If everybody hibernated or died because someone else died, there would be no one left!

You just wake up every morning and get up. Then you do one thing at a time. In awhile you will be able to forget your pain for longer and longer periods of time.
The most comforting thing is that you will be able to see that person again when Jesus comes and resurrects him or her.
I'm sorry if you lost someone you love. The sadness never quite goes away, but it will feel better in time.

A number of years back, a good friend took his own life. It bummed me out big time until I finally decided that he did it because he was a coward, and couldn't face the decisions he was having to make.
After that, it got easier to talk to people about how I felt, which really helped me, since bottling it up inside was causing me to get sick.

When my grandfather died, I was devastated. I moped around for several months. I was not friendly, and would cry at the drop of a hat. I went on an anti-depressant for a couple of months, and that seemed to help. I am not on it any more, and I am doing fine. I think it just takes time. I am so sorry for your loss.

Don't understand your question. Are you asking if someone your care about dies, how would you go on with your life? We have to go on living.
