How do you deal with finding out that someone you love has cancer....or is dieing.......or someone you love has passed away.....you have lost someone dear to you. The best friend you've had for years has moved away. Everyday things that give us grief. I would like to you how you deal with it.

I deal with grief (my only child died at age 20) using the following:

(1) Excellent self-care:
Daily walks
Good nutrition plus vitamins, lots of water
Good stress management, like Reiki, music, time in nature

(2) The Work of Byron Katie (http://www.thework.com)

(3) Landmark Education seminars (http://www.landmarkeducation.com)

(4) Staying connected to support groups (check different ones out until you find the people whose support you like)

(5) Prayer. My own and that of prayer networks (to find a listing of prayer networks, get a copy of Prayer is Good Medicine by Dr. Larry Dossey)
I pray for "Grace" a lot--that really works. I invite angels to help and I thank them when they do.

(6) I take a certain amount of time out to allow myself to cry, then I get back to my life.

(7) Grief counseling -- only use a counselor you feel good about/there are plenty out there to choose from

Grief is something that takes time to deal with.. I often have grief, be it a death in the family, or moving friends. The only way to really deal with it is to remember the times u had together good and bad, everyone suffers from grief, but dont let it overcome you and dont wallow in ur tears and pity urself. Try to remember that person but dont let it get you down becuz once you let that emotion control you, youve lost...

we all deal with grief a little differently, my dad died slowly from cancer, although i grieved for him i had time to accept it and say goodbye. my sister was murdered. there is a tremendous difference in how i deal with that. everyday things are just there they are a part of life. just take one day at a time and try to get through each one as it comes. my religion helps me considerably .....every day!!!

I celebrate the times I had with the one who is gone. When someone dies, WE WILL SEE THEM AGAIN, so why grieve? The grief is only for those of us left here, not for the ones who have crossed. I celebrate their memories every single day! It keeps me close with them and lets them know that I will see them again when it is my time. It's very comforting to know that you will see them again.

I'm sorry you are hurting.
