Question

see them again one day etc etc???

Answer 1

My mom died six months ago. I know that I will see her again in heaven. My faith in God keeps me going, but there are other things too. I am very lucky to have a great support system of family, boyfriend, son, friends, church family, co-workers who have all been extremely supportive. Knowing that she would be so disappointed in me if I gave up because she was gone is a driving factor also. She was one of those special people who loved and was loved by everyone. Even though she was in a great deal of pain the whole seven months that she was dying of cancer, she never quit living, she lived to her fullest capabilities everyday that she had. I could never dishonor her memory by feeling sorry for myself. I have to honor her by doing the things that she would have done. That's what keeps me going.

Answer 2

I am 21 and my 15 year old brother killed himself last march. At first dealing with his death seemed unbearable. I didnt sleep much and I will would do is sit around and cry. As time went on I realized that my brother wouldnt want me to mourn over him forever. Hes in a better place now where he doesnt feel the pain that he obviously felt here. I may never understand why he did what he did, but I know that hes watching me and I know hes smiling. And that though alone makes me smile and realize that its not forever. Ill be seeing him again someday.

Answer 3

Remembering the good times with the person lost and knowing that those that are still here need me..

A while back I lost my maternal grandmother, I would find myself almost daily thinking of something I wanted to tell her, show her, share with her.. I started a journal and when one of those things came up I wrote what I wanted to say to her in the journal or took a photograph and place it in the journal. As time went by and I was able to move on I used the journal less and less... Now when I look back on the journal I read the things I wrote and know my grandmother did a fine job as inside me are all the answers to all the questions I wanted her to answer...

Answer 4

first and foremost my feelings are with you as you probably are experiencing the pain of separation. Trust you will find comfort in the wonderful memories of your loved one and have strength of spirit to move on.
the most important thing is that I am alive and my life has a purpose. I think i need to fulfill the Divine purpose by my being alive.
there is emotion at the loss of someone close to you. Is the emotion because of your sense of emptiness at the loss ?
Take care

Answer 5

Time heals all wounds. I believe in god and in heaven. I think of that person being in a better place. I will always have the memories we shared together and thank god for the time that we did get to share, being that some people are not allowed to be born at all.

Answer 6

My dad died after years of hell and sickness, and what kept me going was the need to make sure he was remembered for the way he lived and not the things that killed him after making him tiny and scared. I remind people of the impact he had in their lives and repeat his good advice so his grandsons have the benefit of the life he lived for his family.

Answer 7

Yes it is the hope that someday I will meet them again, in heaven. And they are in a much better place then here and that they are now watching over me until I go to be with them.

Answer 8

Yea, that and knowing that their in a better place now. I picture my Grandma smiling and laughing. Always makes me feel better, and makes me feel closer to her. I will always have her in my heart. She hasn't left me, I just can't see her anymore.
