How many people close to you have died & how did you cope?
I've had many people die that I have known through the years & I coped by writing poems or making collages in memory of them or just keeping their memorial card or bulletin.

All my grandparents, my mom, both of my brothers have died.
I coped by grieving for them. I cried and felt deep pain. For a few of them I've talked with a counselor because I had unresolved problems with them when they died. I went to a support group after my mom died, for a while. I had the very most difficulty with her death because she had been abusive when I was little. I also pray. God has helped me heal inside. I never have been a poetry writer; sometimes I journal my thoughts.
I think you have a very nice way of memorializing the ones you have lost. I hope you are doing OK now.

I've been in the healthcare field for a few years now, and yes I do get attached to certain clients. and sadly a lot of them have passed away. I usually clip their obituary and/or keep the memorial card from the service. it's never easy to cope, but time heals all wounds.

4... 3 grandparents and an uncle.
With 3 out of the 4 people I had strange experiences surrounding their deaths.. I would see them, or dream about them the day or night they died... So I figure they gave ME peace.
I'm not one that likes the whole after the funeral get together... they really bug me. I'd rather handle my grief by going for a walk and thinking about them...
And a lot will come out in my art... whether I realize it at or not... I look at it months later and can see the process.

Lets see...about 8 people so far..both sets of Grandparents,Dad,Husband,
Nephew,& Sis in Law...
each provided different emotions so I coped accordingly...
I am not sure why but I found some comfort in watching TV cooking shows..odd but true..
plus I visit the cemetary & crypts and talk to them when I need to..
Their spirits live within my heart always..=)

I have had several. The latest one was my husband, he died last month after a five year battle with cancer. I turn to God and my church family for support and caring.

Everyone in my family. My dad,mother and sister. I said once to my mother before she passed that when I get old I will not have anyone to reminisce growing up with. Something I will miss dearly.

both grandmothers, my mother, my father, one great grandmother, my aunt. at first, it took much prayer to begin the healing process. i cope by remembering the good in them. focusing on good memories and not bad. i also write poetry.
