I need advise on how to handle death of a close family member? I have mixed feelings, he was very sick and wouldn't have gotten any better so I'm glad his suffering is over at the same time I will miss him. How do you interact with other family members, I can't seem to stop crying, how do you do that, drugs, booze, what.
I need to be astrong for his family and yet I feel like I would be nothing but a drain on them until I can get my emotions under control. Please anyone who knows any answers to this let me know. Thank you

if you are emotional and more over if you see others whom you love are crying sometimes it makes you crying also , but for me i have same problem,what i do is simple escape ,i know this is not a solution , you can not ever solve a problem from escaping it ,i should stand to try to solve but , still i am not mentally prepared to do so , hope god give you that power so that you can face it and be there always who need you most.

Its not easy to deal with I know. I lost my mom last year to cancer. All I can say is that it does get easier to handle with time. The first few weeks all I could think of was the horrible way she had to go and how I had to watch her die. But then I realized Mom wouldn't have wanted me to do that so I started remembering all the good times we had experienced. It made it much easier to deal with that way. I remember funny times, silly things she did, and how special she made my childhood. It takes time, but you will get thru it.
