Answer 1

When you loose a loved one, you have to carry on for the sake of other loved ones, especially children, but it is hard and although a person looks ok on the outside inside the heart is breaking, people put on a brave face, but there is not a day that passes when you are not thinking of the person you have lost.

Answer 2

If we weren't selfish creatures, we would be all dead. Thank God, we are and we must be. We all miss a person we love at a time.

It is really painful, but you can't get lost you too. You are alive, and no matter how difficult it is, you must enjoy it. Your love would never expire, I know. But think in another way. The person left hadn't the time to live as mush as you. You loved him? So, go on and live a life for two. Do many things, enjoy every single moment. Be lively, and optimistic. You are alive and you must survive. And don't have a misery survival. Have a good, a great one.

Answer 3

Psychologists tell us bereavement is a process. For most normal people there comes a stage in the process when things look as though they will never get better, however as they pass through the process feelings and attitudes usually become more positive.

Having said that there is usually at least an emotional scar left - even for people who have gained a new partner and passed through the process. You just have to talk to war widows to know how much they still miss their husbands.

Answer 4

It may seem as though you can't go on living, but the Human Spirit is more resilient than you think.
Time Heals All Wounds.
The Lost Loved One would'nt want you to Grieve forever.
You wouldn't anyway.
At the time of the loss, everything is sensitive & fresh. But after the passage of time, you eventually find small things to occupy your time & interest.
You'll always remember the Lost Loved One.
And in time, it will hurt less.

Answer 5

You can't resume your life as it was before, you have to find a different kind of life that doesn't involve them. It's hard, but not impossible. Try doing things that you always wanted to do but never had the time because you were a couple.

Answer 6

It does not make anyone selfish for grieving on the lost of a loved one. and we servive because we have to. we do not forget our love ones they will always be in our hearts for the rest of our lives. we just keep going. and think about all the good times we had with them, and the pain just eases up every day of our lives.

Answer 7

I think that after losing a loved one you only exist for a time after grieving, and then you evenyually see that you cannot lay down and die with them, so you learn to live differently, but all the same you learn to live.

Answer 8

i think it all depends on the person because the person we marry may not be our one true love

Answer 9

I lost my husband to suicide. As every day has been a a lesson in pain and guilt so it has also been a lesson in moving forward, in forgiveness, in letting go and in allowing new people to love me.
