I am so sorry for your loss. Just don't let your grief overcome you to the extent that you feel like you need to drink. That doesn't solve anything and leaves you feeling even worse. Talk to another relative or friend. I know how you feel to an extent, but can never know how you truly feel as I am not you. Please accept my prayers for your spiritual well being during this great time of need.

What is important about them has not died. It lives on in your heart and you should cherish it and keep in in mind for everything you do for the rest of your life. They may not be aware of what you do any more but they formed you into the person you are. You now need to honour their lives by remembering them and living in such a way that they would be proud of you if they could see you.
You could try writing down your memories of the things you all did. Keep a notebook, and never mind how full it gets. Recall a family occasion, or a time when your dad smiled at you unexpectedly and made you feel good. Remember when they told you off when you were a child too - remember how you felt. Ask yourself if it helped you become a better person. That is how they live on in you. Your love is their legacy. Peace to you.

Be kind to others during your lifetime
Be generous with your time and self
Be forgiving - for along life's path you will encounter others who will need your forgiveness
Be respectful of others -- This will show folks that you were raised right and you will be remembered kindly.
If you want to memorialize your family plant a tree in their honor
or
Give a gift of love or money to a favorite charity.
Our loved ones are always with us. They will look after you and protect you. When you feel the need just talk to them they will hear you.
My own guardian angel is a former love who died at the age of 17 . He has always been there --helps and protects me for 40 yrs now

Pray for them, give away some money to charity in their memory, visit their graves and ask God for peace and forgiveness. Pray that they have a good life in the hereafter. It is difficult to face losing so many of your loved ones in a single go, ask God for courage in this time. You can be a blessing to them and to the world by being a better and stronger person for their sake, and try to comfort those around you who have lost their loved ones. Sharing others grief will help you in yours. Pick up a holy book and read it, it will give you a lot of peace.

Yes, if I were in your situation.
I would do something that benefited mankind.
Did your family have any special interests/concerns?
If not why don't you take a look at the heifer.com
This is something that you can do if you need to keep working and don't have much time.
You could do some of these items in memory of your family.
I always have wanted to do this for my friends if they passed on.

and give you strength and courage from day to day.

sorry. I can't imagine how you feel. Are you a christian? The things you can do to bless them most would be to live life to the full. What would make them most proud of you? You are unique and special, you've been given life for this time, wow!
Try to share your feelings as much as you can with your friends without feeling guilty. they'll have times when they need you to be there for them too. And try to forgive them for the times they don't know what to say or how to help you.

That's so sad! Two of my Mom's sisters died within a year of eachother and it has been really hard on her and all of us. One of them had really young daughters and it is sooo heartbreaking to see them being so sad. My Aunts both died of Cancer and I have since joined a group that helps collect money to give the Cancer Research Fund. If your loved ones died of a disease maybe you could join an organization in their honor. But even if you cant do that, just remembering them and keeping them and their families in your heart and prayers is more than enough!

First I want to tell you that we're all sorry to hear that. Death of loved ones can be the most difficult thing you have to deal with in your life. But know that God is there for you and wants you to know that he will care for them.
Click here: http://www.watchtower.org/library/we/article_05.htm
and read some reassuring words. You can also use your own personal bible to look up the comforting scriptures.
You can be a blessing to them if you try to stay strong and continue to pray to God. He knows when those who love him are hurt, and he doesn't want you to have to deal with the pain.
I really wish you the best.
And know that God still loves you and wants you to draw close to him.
