Personally, I don't handle it well if it's someone close to me. It tears me apart. There's no way to prepare yourself for it either. It hurts so much worse than one can imagine.
I read through some of your responses. I'm sorry you're facing this once again, and I know it doesn't get easier with experience. I'm sorry you've had to go through so much already. You'll be wiser than most of your peers, but wisdom isn't worth the pain... I hate losing someone.

When I lost my mom when I was 25, it's the first I actually felt my heart in pain, it really felt like it was breaking.. I didn't think u could feel that kind of pain.
But I tried to keep myself busy, and when I couldn't, I slept. I knew she was in a better place, but that only comforts u a little. It takes a lot of time before u can think of them and smile.

@XReaganX Yeah I have been down the road you are going. Take time to love and not fret. Take solace in the fact that this life is not the end. It is just a short intermission from which we all shall soon wake. There is beauty in life and beauty in suffering and even beauty in death. One of my favorite things to do is to visit the graves of my loved ones and feel their peace.

@hippyjoe1955 I will visit them as often as I can. But it's just the knowing that the greatest blessings in my life will end during the middle of my lifetime. Idk what to do with other half...it'll be so empty.

@XReaganX No it will be full of their memory and your new found depth to understanding. At my son's funeral my uncle who lost a son about the same age and my cousin who likewise lost a son were talking about their loss. My uncle said that it took him about 10 years to come to terms with his loss. My cousin looked off in the distance and as a tear filled his eye he said "I don't think you ever do come to terms". It has been 10 years since my son left this world way too soon and I can say that I have found that I have found peace knowing that he found peace.

@DiegoWolfe Others. It's not fair at all.

@XReaganX I understand. I’ve experienced lots of loss too. I wish I had a comforting ideal to tell you about how all of our time comes even if we don’t understand it etc But honestly I don’t understand death. I don’t know why children get cancer and waste away while some grow elderly. I know it hurts deeply. 🤍
