How do you coap with the lost of love ones.

How do you cope? Remember them at their best, maybe give a little extra love to those you still have. No matter what happens, the closer they are to you, the harder it is. My wifes eldest died suddenly this spring at 45 and my father will not likely make another christmas. I guess the best thing is the old saying, " Hang in, Hang on but Don't Hang Up". Hang on my friend.

Try to remain calm and relaxed. In many cases the lost was not caused by you, but something else. Don't be ashamed to shed tears, It's your body's way of relieving stress.

Accept the loss with some remorse, and continue to live your life as best you can. Remember you still have pleasant memories of them inside you someplace.

The loss of a loved one is tough...I cry when the urge presents it'self, pray a lot and then place it all in the loving hands of Jesus! I hope & pray this helps...

I'm sorrry for your loss 151.. It's never easy just remember all the good times you had.........Hang in there.....JOHN

Go Fishing.......... If your Buddy was a fisherman then it is a good time to reflect on past experiences. if he was not a fisherman then still go fishing. It makes for a good peaceful time to think and remember. whatever you do don't hold back your emotions. I think about my best fishing buddy every day (my Dad) I still miss him as much as the first day but at least I am bale to cope without breaking down every day.

I lost my grandmother this summer. I know how it feels man. Almost lost my life and almost lost my mom too. She had blood clots. But, remember good times you had with them and if you’re a Christian guy, know that you will be joining them

Keep Fishin'

I know what you are going through. A good fishing buddy of mine died during dialysis in Dec. He lived 1000 miles away in Florida. We spent many hours out on the gulf of Mexico together. He lived alone and it took about a month for me to put it all together that something happened to him. I had to track down his daughter in Iowa to finally find out what happened. I think of the great trips we had together over the years and that keeps a part of him alive in my mind. I wish though that we had one more trip out together. It takes awhile but time heals eventually.

nobody can really tell you what will work. my father hit me the hardest, iguess because he was the last of my wife & my parents. i loved all 4 very much. it`s been over 5 years and i still find myseld thinking i`ll have to remember to tell him something that has happened. the biggest help for me was GOD being able to take it to him &lay my feelings at his feet is a real blessing.GOD BLESS

I agree with scottlu. Give the pain to GOD. HE is a supernatural GOD and is ALWAYS by your side. Even though you may not think so. TRUST ME!! HE will never let you go through anything that you cannot handle.

I hope for the best for you 151 and I hope you keep on fishin'

@ RRichards151 ...I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes...only time heals wounds 

When my Dad passed in '88...and I was grieving...a good friend of mine...who had also lost someone recently at that point said...

"Remember...that they are in a better place now...with no pain or suffering."

It worked for me...and it's a thought that I always pass on to others who have had a personal loss of a loved one.
