Someone once said, that which does not kill you makes you stronger. People survive because they must. It becomes easier if you do not wallow in your grief and get back to your normal routine as quickly as possible, even if you are "just going thru the motions" for a while. When my very dear grandmother passed away, my mother insisted we only be there for the wake and funeral and then go back to work. I thought she was wrong, I now know she was correct. Life goes on and so must you. |

Try to relax and deal with it through positive thinking techniques. There are so many self-help websites and groups that can help you. Meditation is extremely calming. Sometimes professional help is the only way. It has been said that "we are never faced with anything we can't handle" and "time cures all"! Good luck! |

Surround yourself with lots of friends that talk about OTHER things than just your tragedy....Try to forget...It's in the past and the future is yet to be written. |

well, to give you an example, my best friend died last year of a single gun shot wound to his head. There is still question of whether this was self inflicted or if there was other people involved. Many people blamed his wife, blamed her family, just blamed blamed blamed...I for a while got caught up in the same fiasco, but came to understand that if there was someone who had shot my friend, then that person would reap what he or she sowed, and that I had to let it go and move on. It really hurt me badly when I found out that he died, because we had been close for so long, and felt that I had failed him as a friend. I had to come to understand the concept of personal responsibility and accountability-people make their own choices in life and we all have to live with the consequences of those choices whether we agree or not.
I turned toward GOD even more, forgave the people involved, including my friend, and instead of dwelling on the bad that had happened, instead remembered the good times..
you will find that the good usually greatly outnumbers the bad.
GOD BLESS YOU |

I lost my brother who is 11 months younger than I am, so we were pretty close throughout life, with the occassional sibling fights. He was 20 and I 21 when he past away due to drinking and driving (he was passenger, driver intoxicated). I have faith in God and afterlife, so I know I'll see him again and I still talk to him even if I can't hear or see him anymore. Just cause they aren't in the physical anymore doesn't mean they aren't existing. I believe they are more alive than ever before when they pass. All in all I guess it depends on your beliefs and the people around to support you and how you grieve. |

If your religious, pray. Guidance comes from many and mysterious places. |

One day at a time. If it is someone close to you that has died or lost their home or loved one, it takes a while tell you see that it is really real. My dad passed away 4 months ago and it is still hard to believe that he is gone (cancer). I try to think of the good times. In any tragedy all you can do is move on and try to make things better for you and the people it has effected. Just remember that you have to live you life to the fullest, be happy and just be a good support for family and friends - that's when you need them the most to come together. |

when everything is DOWN.....there is no other way but UP!!
We all can't live in the past for the rest of our lives! We either learn from it or die thinking about it!
There's always time to grieve, in fact, take time to grieve, but always put in mind to keep it to the minimum for there is so much that lay ahead of us and so many that can still be touched with our lives. |
