How do you deal with a death in the family??

Tweet

The other day I heard from our helper that my 2nd degree aunt's bf died in a motorcycle accident, then yesterday a dead man age between 50 to 60 yrs old found floating near the breakwater it was spotted by 2 kids who just passing along the area. No one knows what's the caused of his death. Some says maybe someone push him, somebody says maybe he suffered from a heart attack then slip and fell. Today we found out that the dead man found floating is actually a dear friend of the father of my office mate and friend and that her dad got depressed when he heard the news about his friend. Death is a hard thing especially when it comes to family and really close friends. I lost both my parents and my baby. Losing a family member is so hard no matter how much we think we are prepared. As much as possible I don't want to cry or to let people see me crying and be weak. But I've learned that letting go of our grief is important. People grieve in different ways and sometimes in ways that other people don't understand. However, grieving is an emotion that GOD gave us. It's actually a way to cleanse ourselves of the pain we go through in life. If I feel like crying but feel I can't in front of other people, I do it in my own privacy. Nobody can tell anyone how to handle death. Death can do strange things to people and change who they are and always not for the good. I have learned in my past experienced that the less you let you let yourself grieve the more destructive it can be. Denial of someone has died is common, it so hard to face the slap in the face of reality. I still am in denial over my loved ones death. Death in the family is something all of us have to go through. We all do at some point or another. We are not weak, we're only human, and humans at some point in their lives got weaknesses. How bout you?how do you deal with death??
