I'm sure everyone out there has lost a family member sometime. It's a very difficult time. Is anyone out there like me? I love to write my feelings down and i am doing that right now, because i lost a family member early hours this morning. It was my uncle. My mothers brother. So right now i am extremely sad. I know everyone greives in different ways. Everyone finds there own way of dealing with grief. I find every time you loose someone you also deal with it differently. How about you? How do you deal with loosing someone you love, a family member. I really hate death. I tell myself that i will see them again one day when i die. But, no one really knows this for sure. I think it's the unknown that is scary. Not knowing what really happens to you when you die. Well we know what happens to our bodies. I am talking about that inner thing inside us, that voice and our souls. Different religons have different thoughts on this too. I suppose it depends also on what you were raised to believe. Anyway, i have gone on enough, i just want my uncle to rest in peace.

I lost a father, a mother. a sister and a husband, They are all very important persons in my life. I really grieved for them and till now, tears fell as I visited their tombs. I offerred them prayers every night before I go to sleep by this way I feel relieved with my grief. Their memories lingered as my love for them never end.

When my first grandpa passed away I dealt with it really well. i accepted it, because I knew he wasnt hurting anymore. and I was sure he was happy now. But when my second grandpa passed away, it was so hard. It was sudden. The doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer, then two weeks later he was gone. I was always so close to that grandpa, but in the last year of his life, I couldn't visit him as much because I was always busy. But it was so hard. I cried for days, and wrote about him for months in my journal.
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. he's in my prayers.

When we loose someone we love that is in pain or not with it anymore, it does help us to think that they are in a better place and not suffering anymore. This is the most important thing, That they are not suffering anymore. But the pain is still there never the less.
