the father of my kids commited suicide...I have been thinking about it a fair amount lately and I can't believe its been that long :-/ Sometimes it seems like it was only a yr ago ya know....but its been 4 yrs....Hopefully (though this will sound awful) the kids wont remember this yr what today is but if they do, we'll deal with it...
How do you cope with losing a loved one on a general level (meaning a death from natural causes for example)? How do you help your children deal? If you've lost a loved one to suicide, tragic accident, murder etc do you cope and deal with it differently? How so?
I know in our house, since death is such a familiar being with us we handle it slightly differently to the average person I think...but it works for us..

Though I have not yet tried losing somebody close to me yet, but if that time comes, I guess my only consolation is my faith...in God. Believing that we are not permanent in this world and time will eventually come that we will all go back to our God and that is where our grand reunion. This is one special thing that separates from a believer and a non-believer. But human as we are, we must give ourselves time to grieve and to heal.
