My dad died a few years back, after a very long illness. I remember that morning stepping outside to get some breakfast for my mother, and the sky opened up and it was POURING. I remember thinking to myself, it's like the sky is crying too. As I walked toward the deli, I thought, how can people be going about their business? Don't they know that everything is different?....Yeah it was hard.
The good news is that after a while, we were able to talk about his LIFE not the way he passed away. We talk about him at every get together, mention him every day, and while he's not physically with us, I know that I will see him again, and that my job for now, is to use all the wonderful things he taught me to make the world a better place.
Peace to you, super squirrel!

at the moment Yes it does....but I know that is life & we must accept that we are mortal creatures & we all die one way or another......
when you first hear it..it comes as a shock & you get all numb & can't feel anything & yes "life just seems to stop" but the person who said time heals really knew what he was talking about....
you take it day by day...& eventually the further you get away from it...the better the healing process & you can cope better & go on with life...
good luck & I am sorry if that is the situation..(I know its not much but I am sorry)

Hello, Alex:
Yes...very much so. People go in slow motion. You wonder how they can laugh when something so serious has happened. You wonder if you will ever get over the pain. You wonder if you will ever see them again and if you dream about them, you can almost touch them. When you wake up they are so close that it physically hurts. You wonder if anyone knows how wonderful that person was and you want to hear that that person meant as much to others as they did to you.
*HUG* That is a hurt that runs deep and I am SO sorry for your loss.

When my daughter was killed in a car accident, my life ended. This existence without her is without joy or happiness. Everything reminds me of her, her gentle kindness, her love of life. I wrote a poem while I was in the Hospital,
My Beloved Katie
Each day I wake up from a terrible dream,
Only to find the world has changed.
I go to your room; your things are still there
Your dolls, your medals and your favorite bear.
The scent of you lingers, the smell of your hair
Memories of you, I find, are everywhere
Your precious books are stacked by the bed
And tissues that captured your tears as you read
Your paintings and drawings still hang on the wall
Collections of seashells and rocks from the beach
Bring back the memories of the times well spent
How do I go on without you by my side?
To love you to hold you, with smiles and pride.
My heart, it is broken, my dear beloved child
I miss your laughter, your music and your smiles,
All of our dreams of the future will never come true
The ‘whys ‘and ‘if onlys ‘endlessly swirl in my head
Please tell me, oh God, I wish I were dead
I want to be with you every second of the day
But Dad and your sister, they need me to stay
Your friends and your family will never forget,
Your friendship, your love and your gentle kindness
You will live on forever in their hearts and their minds,
I will love you forever my darling, my child.

Yes. For a moment I think of my own mortality. How one minute you're here and the next minute you could be gone.
Never go to bed angry and always say something nice to your loved ones when departing for work or any other place.
Sorry for your loss Linda S Beautiful poem

For a couple of days yes.
But after a week or so I recover.

Yes, and I can actually feel what they mean when they say "it was a sinking feeling".
