how can some people just easily move on from a death of their parent

i see this online sometimes when i see people talking about bereivements of their dad or their mother, that they buried them and eventually moved on.

well that couldn't happen with me, i am so close to my elderly mother & father, but especially my mum...that when she does eventually leave me in this world, i don't think i could cope....i would find it too devastating and have nothing to live for anymore....i know i would definitely kill myself when that happens...the bond i have with my mum is such a close one, that it would tear me apart her not being here anymore.

my mum lives far from me now, i live in a little apartment by myself, we speak on the phone 3 times a day......my mum and dad are the only support mechanism i have.

i just don't understand how some people can move on from the death of a parent? what makes up their psychology? what makes them think that? how can they so easily let go?

This is where faith comes into play for a lot of people. I don't think anyone is ok with the death of a parent, but it's a part of life that is going to happen to all of us.

@Nebula yes its important to realize that, its going to happen to us all, but if you have faith you know death isn't the end but merely switching off the light in one room and going into another room, its just painful for those we have to leave behind...as i mentioned i'm very close to my parents so i know it will hit hard when they eventually leave, but its where i'll have to lean on my faith and know they are not far away and i'll see them again one day.
