How do you deal with the passing of family members?

gouzi aww sorry to here that one death in the family but a double whammy like that i can really empathise with you but as i always say you need a good strong family there to give each other support and comfort in times of a sad lose of a loved one or two in your case

On my own, usually. I've never shed a tear at a funeral, they always come later. Sometimes years later.

I was raised to be stoic and that basically means dissociate on command and appear okay in the face of any tragedy. Conventional wisdom says that's bad now so I'm trying to work on it.

My own way is to talk about the deceased and share stories about them with others who knew them. If I keep grief locked inside, it festers like an infection.

They were part of my life when they lived and they remain a part of my life after death.

It's hard to deal with the death of my parents. And for me to cope I try not to think about them for too long or I get teared up and cry again.

On my own for the most part.

My condolences, I'm sorry for your loss.

It’s surreal in a sense.
