How do you deal with death?

Question

My friend died.

Answer 1

You do not, until you realize that we are all mortal, and must contend with the Lord.

Answer 2

I had six of my friends die the first six months out of High School..Honestly I am not sure HOW I dealt with it then..I did not even have any tears at the last funeral I was at because I had already cried them all out! I am very sad for you right now!. I understand how hard it is to see someones life come to an end especially if they are young...Just take comfort in knowing that there is a GRAND plan and we do not always understand why things happen..But they do happen for a reason..even when we do not know what that reason is..I hope you can take all the wonderful things your friend taught you and the gifts they gave you and put them to good use in your life some day..Try to remember what your friend was like and try to smile about it when you can..And try to think "Am I living and acting the way my friend would have wanted me to?"..I am sure your friend would really enjoy seeing you have a happy, healthy, full life..It is hard right now but time does ease some of the pain..And you will move on from this a better person..And live a wonderful life..

Answer 3

First off, I know in my heart there is a higher power.
Second, know I have gone through many different feelings from losing a loved one...shock, disbelief, sadness, anger, hurt, tearfulness, weak, then some happy thoughts come to mind about the person I lost. There different levels of grieving that people go though.
Third...I try to think of all the good things my loved one had done and the happiness and impact that they brought to others while they were alive.
Fourth...talk to someone.
Fifth...again believing God...I pray.
So sorry for your loss. You need a hug! Take care of yourself. Keep living.

Answer 4

My 13 year old Grand daughter just lost her 8 year old brother to cancer. She crys, which is ok. She knows he is in a better place and watching over her and family. If you are religious, pray for guidance. Many books by grief counselors for free or at hospitals. GOD of any religion, has a plan for all of us. Make the most of your life! GOD bless and good luck helping yourself get through this or ASK for help. Everyone will have a different way of explaning it, but it comes to the same answer.

Answer 5

Someone told me a long time ago after I lost my best friend in a car accident, that you never get over that person dying. You just learn to live with the fact that they are gone.I took it one day at a time, and believe me, there were more bad days than good.After 12 years I still grieve, and yes, I still cry. Time does heal all wounds. Take care...I am truly sorry for your loss.

Answer 6

I'm sorry to hear about your loss of a friend.
Every one deals with death a little differently and in their own way because it effects each one of us in a different way.
I always try to remember them in their life and try to celebrate how they lived. Imagine them in every aspect of their life and how they made you feel when you were around them. Their smile, their laugh, the way they acted or funny things they did.
They would not want you to be sad, but would want you to try to understand that they are OK and that you will also be OK and carry on and always remember them. That is the best tribute to anyone !

Answer 7

I know it seems that nothing will ever make you feel better. I lost both my ex husband and my dad in the past few months. My dad is a terrible loss, but seemed natural. It was his time. My ex however wasn't old and he left too soon. It does get better with time. You will always miss that person, but feel free to talk to them. I bet your friend will hear you and help anyway that they can. God Bless!

Answer 8

I hate the thought of death. But it happens. Time they say. In the meantime talk to others about your feelings and let the tears out.

Answer 9

It is so hard to face the death. I have seen many death in my life. I have lost 4 family relatives. I have known them well. I have been cried.

Answer 10

seek God, pray for his help... :) i know how it hurts to lose a friend, and I know that at times its almost unbearable, but it will be okay, you just need to tell God about your hurting heart, and ask Him to help you through, and trust that He will... before you know it, you'll be strong again, of course you will never forget this friend, each day you'll think of them, but you'll be able to smile at memories... God wouldn't ever give you more than you can handle

this too shall pass...

It has not been long since i felt this same loss, and while it hurts still, it does not hurt as much as it did....

Answer 11
