Have you ever suffered a death in your family and how did you cope?

Answer 1

everybody copes in different ways.when you lose someone thats when you find out how strong you are inside it may not come straight away but it does in time.the best way i think is to keep focused on the person who you have lost,they wouldnt want you too be sad they would want you to hold your head up high,i find looking at photos help.

Answer 2

i lost my mother, my husband, and my grandfather all in a short period of time, less than a year apart. it has been many years ago, but i still feel the loss. my mother died in a car accident, then less than a year later my husband died in an accident with a semi truck. in between their deaths my grandfather died. i really don't know how i coped. i have two children and i guess just knowing that i had to, for their sakes, made me get up everyday and do what i needed to do. i know there were times that i prayed to die and yet i would awake the next day.the pain of their loss was almost unbearable. i prayed a lot and asked god for the strength to go on. i guess knowing that they were Christians helped a lot. and knowing that it wasn't for them but myself that i was crying that made me try to go on. i never got over missing them and loving them, i will always have them in my heart. not a day goes by that i don't think of them. but i can't live for the dead only for the living. i have 4 beautiful grandchildren that i am so happy to be here for. time has a way of healing. not forgetting just helping.

Answer 3

I had to give myself some time to heal, because dealing with a death of a family member isn't really easy to deal with. Also, I would talk about it, and grieve, so I can move on with my life. I know that the special person will always be in my heart and is looking down on me!

Answer 5

You will never forget....but everyday, the pain will get a tiny bit easier to manage and eventually you will be able to smile again when you think of them...

Everyone copes in different ways...you have to find what is best for you...grieving alone, being with family, family grief counseling, etc....I found myself trying to grieve on my own, but once I was able to let people in and see how much I was hurting, it was much easier to manage...

Answer 6

Yes.

I have a card taped to my entrance door.
On it is one of my favorite Passages from the
Bible.

Psalm 147:3
"He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds".

I sometimes remove the card to give to
someone I know is "Hurting". I could just
make a new card to give to them, but I don,t.
I make a new card for the door. This makes it
more personal to me.

I am happy for those who went before me because
I know they are "Home". Yes I miss them.

Answer 7
