My uncle just died on august 11, 2008

my uncle just died and im not taking it well. I've beem crying every day, I've been not eating correctly, and im not getting enough to sleep. what can I do to try to move on. my whole family is in a really emotional state. my family as a whole is not taking it well and we are trying to move on and get passed it. as a whole what can we do to try to move on.

the uncle who died basically raised me and fathered my cousin who was his god father. his name was Daddy Zach and he was the rock of the family and he supported my family in whatever we did and we could call him and ask him for his advice. he was the mentor of the pamily and he will be truly missed.

We love you Daddy Zach
~R.I.P. DADDY ZACH~

Grieving is different for everybody and while I don't really k ow the complete relationship that you and your uncle had together, my advice is this: Remember the good times and you can even look through old pictures of the family together or any happy photos that you have of him really. Depending on your capabilites you might even want to make a computer slide show with his favorite song so that you can remember him and everyone in the family will enjoy it also. Be advised that many people might cry even more during the presentation but it will give you closure. Also talk to family and friends and depending on your religious beliefs, you might even seek counsel in either Scripture or talking to someone with religious authority. Death is something that is overcome with time and it is different for everybody, but I hopw that this has helped.

When my grandpa died everybody was weaping yet I was 4 and did not understand what was going on but I do remember my sister loosing a lot of weight because she wasn't eating right!
Just take things one step at a time and remember even though he is not there that he is always looking over you and wants you to move on...

I know exactly how you feel

my family had a hard time
and especially because she lived with me, it made it worse
but she still lives in my heart and never is forgotten
