Sonorous · Answer

I don't know. But I imagine the more I care about the person, the more dangerous the coping mechanism might be. I feel like I might even be open to doing drugs depending on who dies & in what way.

sage2021 · Answer

You get through it anyway you can. Cry, scream, sleep, be alone for a while, be around people, stay away from music for a while as songs can remind you of that person and make it worse.
When you feel up to it, give your hand at being a volunteer somewhere. Sometimes when you are feeling bad, doing something worthwhile to help other people or animals can lift your spirits.

It's been 3 years 7 months and 6 days since I lost my nan and I still can't accept that she's gone.

I know she's gone but I don't wanna accept it and knowing I'll never seen her again kills me and I'm slowly drowning.

I feel like I died too but they just forgot to bury me, so yeah I'm not coping at all.

Chopped off a million inches of my hair and starved myself almost to death. Would recommend tbh

Waldoe · Answer

Time and Grief... accept both and remain calm, it will slowly recede. I like to think of it this way...
"Every teardrop is an 'I Love You' to the departed"... say I love you as much as you wish... No Shame, Tears are not a sign of weakness.

I don't think you really cope, so much as regard it with wisdom. Death is a wonderful opportunity to achieve enlightenment, and depending on how you lived your life, it can be better state of existence than this shithole called Earth.

I lost my boyfriend of 8 years about 2 years ago to murder. I will never forget him or stop loving him. I think about him every day and miss him soo much. But eventually you learn how to keep going and tell yourself that they would want you to be happy and enjoying life. You'll never forget them but you'll learn how to cope without them.

Wild_princess · Answer

Allow yourself to mourn, don't be hard on yourself... don't force anything on you... and time is a best healer... pain don't go away but it will decrease slowly with time.

When mu father died I was in grad school and getting ready for midterms. I refused to let my father's death derail my studies. I tried to think that my father would be telling me not to be a wussy and pass the goddam tests.

Try to remember the good times you had with the person and how they had a luge and did all they could do. As sad as it is realize that they will not return and that death will happen to us all someday.

Anonymous · Answer

There is no wrong way or right way to cope. You learn how to move on and live your life. They will always be remembered looking at the river, sky, their favorite song, movie and you will smile just cause they are gone doesn't mean you can't be happy or sad. It comes in waves take it day by day.

losing a parent, sibling or close friend is always hard I keep photos of them at points in life when I enjoyed them the most, at their peaks so when i see the photos around my house it reminds me of them and assures me their around me at all times

Blackcosmo · Answer

I'd just go numb and want to be alone forever. And obviously cry my eyes out everyday.

You don't. You just endure and live day after day until eventually gets a little easier.

It takes a lot of time and grieving. Talking about it is hard, but it helps in the long run!
