Death

[Randy]

How do you deal with people you are close to dying?

 

[DrLeftover]

You get angry, you feel betrayed, you are sad, you grieve, mourn, cry, clam up, and then, tomorrow, do it all again.



And then, you go on.



And remember them.



I've done it more times than I want to count.



But I remember them all.

People generally have their own way of coping with traumatic events and death. I personally I don't like to keep memories, I immerse myself in my work to take my mind off a relative's passing. Sometimes it affects me if I have regrets before the person died, but I try not to feel any emotions. It makes no sense to mourn or grieve or ask yourself the two saddest words in the world: what if - life goes on.

I cry and be a bit depressed, but then I remember the good times that we had together and move on.
