how to recover from the loss of a love one

i'm sorry to hear about your loss.i lost my dad in july 2000 to cancer.i know how you feel.i try to think of my dad as much as possible.i know some people will tell you to try to get your mind off of him.i personally don't think that is good advice.because your memories is all you have now.i like to look at family photos and videos of my dad.i really don't think theres anything that will fill the void in your heart but have tried maybe getting a animal that you could take care of to kind of occupy your mind a little.you would be surprised how that helps.another that helped me was getting in church.i'm not saying your not because i don't know but the Lord can really help fill the void.if it wasn't for him i would have done gone crazy.i hoped i helped a little.

Its really hard to recover from the loss of a love one . I am a 16 yr guy who is living in India . I had a friend who now has shifted in Canada . He was my best friend . We knew each other so well . We were like brothers and cared for each other .We are still in-contact through phone and internet but we are really missing each other. Its really hard to forget him .

i feel what you feel and i hope i can help but i will need it my only wish to die before my kids coz i will not able to handle it if it happened

dear, no one can forget his/her father/mother/brother etc. but u can do one thing, u try to be a person like ur father, u think about ur father's likes and dislikes, what was favourite things of ur father?, what was dreams of ur father?, u just try to complete that/those dream(s), u change ur nature and be like ur father. therefore u will get pleasure in ur life, ur heart will feel better, and u think that ur father had not gone, he has around me, and u will never feel sorrow, sadness in ur life about ur father. have a nice day.

I lost my younger brother recently in a car crash. We were very close. Its been almost a year now and I dont remember much about the last year so don't know how I am coping with it. I do appreciate the rest of my family more now and realise how important it is not to take them for granted as you never know when something like this will happen again. I am sorry to hear about your loss and thanking for posting it as I have been helped by reading some of the comments as well.

i have lost many love ones i lost my mother, then about 3 years later i lost my baby brother, and about 2 years later i lost my sister and brother exately one month apart 3 years ago, and last year i lost another brother and all between that time i have lost other family members, friends and love ones. i got through it by holding on to the good memories of things we did and shared together. i also found comfort in the word of god. your dad has crossed over hopeful to a better place so have mine, i am sure his desire for you is to be happy and live and enjoy your mom and husband, one day you shall meet again.

Sometimes I question myself that is it necessary to recover from the loss of someone you love? What is life if I don't have my dear ones with me? It is very difficult to carry on but we have to accept the truth. I believe one can still feel the presence of those who has passed if we think about the happy moments we have spent earlier and think about them.

Well, acceptance matters the most. We should prepare ourselves that one way or the other, we or our loved ones should leave this world, the thing is who would go first? It is the one left behind that suffers the most grief and pain. I think we should think that wherever our loved ones be, they might be very happy because I believe that in the next life there is no more pain and suffering. I lost my father when I was ten and my mom when I was twenty. But I take comfort knowing that God is always with me.

I lost mother almost 3 years ago. Not a day goes by that I do not think of her. I keep her in my heart and with me pretty much. I know she is in a better place now and not suffering from cancer anymore. I just lost my great grandmother as well to cancer.

I have rated u positive which ll boost ur earning capability so Please add me as ur friend and i ll help you earn some money and u also do the same to me and u can reach and discuss with me all the matters i m free to give my response to that. It is a request and not an order. Thanks in Advance

i dont know what to say, but i will in the same position in the future. it means i leaving(completing) my college with in one year. a best friend in my class who is my roommate also. i like him very much. we need to go in our own directions of our lifes. so i dont to think about that moment when i leave him... sorry

I lost my uncle in June 05 and it left a really big void as he was like a second father to me. It really does hurt but i find that when im down or sad and i talk to him or remember things we did it helps a lot. Mostly i just ask him to give me a kick and tell me to snap out of the humour because i know he would be disgusted that i get upset. I also talk about him a lot and i think this makes other people uncomfortable but it is my way of dealing with his parting

i have also lost my mother in 2005.i was also my mom's daughter.i have father,sister,niece,brother in law & husband.i always miss my mom too.but i always think that we have to leave the world one day.so my mom leave the world first.i also have to go to her.i always think that she loved god so now god must be take care of her so she will be very happy there.this is my believe.it helps me to recover my pain

Sorry to heard about your loss. I was also lost my father once I will go marry around one month before wedding due to lungs cancer. It was make me painfull indeed and I do not think that I can go over it. I'm lucky that I still have my candidate husband and family were helping me much to get up from my pains. I was also in positive thinking that one day I'll meet him and believe Lord did not ever give us the pain more than our ability. I'm believe he will attend my wedding from the heaven.

As the time passes every one forgets about their loved ones, but when major holidays/annversiers come, we just rememeber then indirectly and un-intentionally, this is human's humble with each other

I understand how you feel. I lost my grandmother in Dec 2002, it is still very hard because she rasied me since I was about 2 years old. My mother was in my life, but had to work so hard to support me and my grandmother that she was never really able to send time with me. I still have not gotten over it, and I don't think we ever do. Just remember he is in a better place now and one day you two will be reunited. Think positively and always keep him in your heart. This is how I get through each day.

someone told me soemthing so great once , which i never forget...n which is a heal-all panacea. "whenever u have problem , don't recognize it, dont analyse it, dont understand it- just " avoid" it. accept the reality. let life flow the way it is do u know that great Indian actor shahrukh khan lost his mom-dad both smwhere in '92...became an orphan ,still he soared to such hieghts...he is the most popular actor in India.
