what can i do to feel better when someone just died in your family.?

Answer 1

There's really not much you can do,but let time make it easier,also keep yourself busy so your not sitting around drowning yourself in your thoughts!!

Answer 2

I'm sorry for your loss. Grieving is a process that takes time, so don 't feel pressured to "feel better". You loved the person who died, and it will take some time to adjust to their not being around anymore.

Here are some suggestions, but every person is different. These may or may not work for you. Try to focus on all the happy times you had with them. Look at pictures or home movies of them. Go do things that you enjoyed doing together. Talk to other people about them, sharing what you loved about them the most. Write in a journal about them, and put down how you feel about their being gone.

You will have good days and bad days as you go through this. Just remember that as long as you keep their memory alive, they aren't truly gone from you.

Answer 3

I'm sorry --
The thing is, time is the only healer in this situation. We have to feel bad sometimes in order to "feel" period. There are reasons and we don't know what those reasons are -- we're not supposed to know yet. You have to go through a mourning period or it's not healthy. You didn't say who died or how close you were to them so depending on that closeness is what's going to mean the time period to where you feel at least a little better and able to move on in a normal fashion. HOWEVER, if time goes by and you are still in a bad way, seek some counseling -- it does work.

Answer 4

Sorry, this is one of lifes experiences that require us to live through them. When my dad died, the only relief I got was when I slept.
Though tough at the beginning, talking with family and friends is very helpful.
I found that talking about my dad into a recorder was good too. Weeks later when I thought that I was forgetting things about him, I would play these recordings back. These recordings would bring tears and smiles to me everytime....to this very day.

Answer 5

Everyone grieves in their own, different ways. I found that writing helped me, a lot, after my mom died. My brother felt that just going back to work soon would help him. My kids wanted to go through all of the old photos of my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.

Just keep yourself busy, in whatever way is comfortable to you. If it's running from dawn till dusk--fine, do it. Whatever makes you feel better is what you should do.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Answer 6

Talk about that person, cry, look at pictures and videos. Visit the grave. Do something nice for someone in their honor.Write a poem or story about them. Laugh about something they did that was funny. Cry your eyes out and scream. I don't think you ever feel better, but the pain does subside as time goes by. You should never think it's wrong to cry and don't feel bad to talk about that person.

Answer 7

Just try to focus on all the good things about that person, and any and all the fun and nice things or conversations you had together. You may even wind up chuckling at some of the memories. Memories are wonderful things; just concentrate on the right ones.

Good luck to you, and my sympathy goes out to you!

Answer 8

Say to yourself that his signature has been made in the space and time continuum and that he's still there and he'll always be. You and everybody knowing him (or her) will spread his (her) words to the new generation.

In this universe nothing is lost, everyone live for a purpose and dies when his duty has been made but every single step he made will remain forever.

Answer 9

It helped me when my dad died to say the Serenity prayer in my head. I felt an enormous strength from it and don't know that I would have made it thru that time with out it.

I am sorry for your loss.
