Have you ever had to face the death of someone you really loved? How did you manage to cope with it?
I recently lost my cousin. being as close as we were, I thought for sure I wouldn't cope from her loss. however, I was slowly able to cope with it through my writing. this may not be for everyone, but I found that by writing it down in a private journal, it got some of those feelings out of my heart. also, you can remember the good stuff, not remeber the person(s) in "they're gone" sort of way. also, find a close friend, or someone else that is trustworthy to talk to about this. I'm sure they will listen. these three things (writing, remembrance, talking) are three main ways to cope. anything else, just let me know.
I've lost two people I cared for very much, both were very young, both passed after battling terminal illnesses. I accept they are gone, I might cry at the funeral, but I accept this happens to us all. Even though we miss them after they're gone, life goes on, with or without them. Grieving makes many people feel better, and I can respect it's their way of coping, but I feel crying doesn't accomplish much for me personally, as it won't bring them back. I feel kind of harsh and callous saying that, but we all deal with trauma in our own ways.
I have lost both my grandads my uncle, my best friend and also my english teacher... all of that happend within a year the thing is I managed to get it round my head that there is no way to cope with it I cried, cried, cried, and cried for days and all nights through I slept when I wasnt crying and got kinda ill but that was my way of dealing with it still dealing with it now, I'll never get over them but I know now that after everything that happened to them in their life, theyre in peace, which is for the best
I lost a friend back when I was in high school. It was hard for me to cope with it. The part that hurt the most was when his mom gave me a ring that he was suppose to give to me for my birthday. that ring mean so much to me I would always have it on me.. everytime I look at it I cry. I started to make a journal and put the ring in it. and everyday iw ould right how I feel.. since then I learn how to deal with pain and just write down my thoughts. . . you just have to give yourself time to let go of your pain...
I lost my first husband only 5 months after beening married. Over time you do begin to heal but in my opion you never truly heal. I still cry to this day and its been almost 5 years now. My new husband is very suportive of me and he is there for me when I start thinking about him and I can talk to him about my 1st husband. We got pictures of me and my 1st husband up in our house and always will. He does not want me to forget him. In my mind I am married to 2 wonferful guys. Hope this helps and good luck.
I read over all of these answers to attempt to choose a "best' answer, and I could not. They were "all" a best answer.
I think that when a loved one dies, it rather "rips" out a piece of your heart and it somehow gets buried with them and you can never get that back. I don't see how anyone can really recover from that experience.
Thanks.
I guess we can all relate to this subject. I lost love ones in my life, both friends and family. Just think of it this way. Earth is Hell and our soul is trap and waitn to be set free. Love ones that pass want to see you smile and be happy for them. Theres no more worries or pain and suffering. Try writing a poem or song. Dont hold back the pain.
when my mom died of cancer I took consuling and I felt better speaking my feelings to people on how great she was and how much I loved and I also started to talk about her which helps the feelings of her being gone, just remember they are in a better place now of no pain... I hope you get throo easily
I lost a couple of my best friends in highschool and my grandfather shorty after that.
Too cope with it, I just gave myself time to grieve. I didn't try and get over it too fast, I just gave myself time. Surrounded myself with the one's that I still have and that I love, and went back to my life.
how did the friends in highschool die?
How did you lose him?
