How do you emotionally handle death?

@hippyjoe1955 idk. Our future is just beginning and it's too soon for them to go.

@XReaganX Who is they and why are they dying young?

@hippyjoe1955 The love of my life is dying. Not expected to live past her mid/late thirties. Her body is deteriorating from the inside from a chronic disease, but she has it so severe. Can't even afford treatment for it.

@hippyjoe1955 And my father isn't in good shape either. Something's wrong with him. Potentially cancer and we won't even know if that's the case til late February.

@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.
