Coping with Death - My Lost Love

death of loved one

Coping with death of my boyfriend...

I watched my boyfriend put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger.

I don't know what to do.

I don't know how to make a new routine. I'm lost without him.

Coping With Death Response:

Kimberly, I won't for a moment say I or anyone else can tell you exactly how to move on in a positive way. This is a significant event, to be sure, in your life.

I found a couple of videos that I thought may possibly be helpful to you. I encourage you to take a listen to them.

The first video may give you a new perspective on death and all your feelings and emotions surrounding what has happened with your boyfriend.

This can be a confusing time. I would encourage you to consider how this experience in your life has shaped you in a way where you may be able to help others in a similar situation.

Why has this experience been attracted into your life? How can its lessons move you forward? You're here physically, still with something important to do here.

What might that be, Kimberly? Please consider that as you move forward from this point. My heart goes out to you.

From Grief to Joy:

He's Gone

by reneee.

My cousin passed away 6 months ago in a tragic motorcycle accident.

We were only freshmen in high school.

The new school year started today, and I couldn't help but think about him. I can't believe he's not there making fun of my stupid cheer outfit that I have to wear.

I miss him so much and I just hope and pray that he knows that everyone misses him.

I know everyone was thinking about him today. I'm doing everything for him, I will succeed, have fun and live life.

I'll make him proud. I'll stand up and not let him downn.

I love you!

when my auntie died

by ella griffiths

When I was younger, my auntie pretty much brought me up.

I was at her house more than my own. I was closer to her than I was to my mother.

She would call me her little princess, and was always my shoulder to cry on.

From the moment I was born we had a special bond. Her name, Marta, was the first word that came out of mouth as a youngster and as time went by the bond grew stronger.

She'd take me to the park, and to see pantomines. She was the best thing in my life and the closest person to my heart.

But then in 2006 a week before Easter Sunday, she had a heart attack and was rushed into the hospital.

I was staying with my dad at the time and I didn't sleep properly until the 15th of April, the day before Easter Sunday.

My mum rang my dad to let him know that my auntie was talking and she told my mum to tell me that she loved me more than anyone on this planet and nothing could change that.

Then on the morning I was returning back to my house with my mother, and I knew something was up straight away when my dad came into my house.

It wasn't even raining. I knew something wasn't right. If only I could have prepared myself for what was coming next.

As I'm sure you can all gather, the news I got on that Easter Sunday was that my auntie, the person that I loved the most out of everyone in my life had passed away just hours after beginning to make a major recovery.

She suffered another heart attack and her body didn't have the strength to recover. I was 10 years old when that happened, it was 4 years ago now.

When it first happened, I was numb with pain. I locked myself in my room for days on end. I never spoke a word to anyone.

I was in despair, I didn't realize something like this could happen to anyone, least of all me.

Even now 4 years on, I keep a picture of my beloved auntie on my bedside cabinet just so I know she's close to me.

It gets hard at times to cope, but in my heart I know my auntie would want that. I know I have to make something of myself, and not let her down.

Live my life to the fullest, and be myself. And I promised myself the day she died to make her proud.

Losing my auntie gave my life a purpose. Whilst the pain is unimaginable, I know it'll be worth it once i make her proud.

to my Soulmate, My Destiny!!!

by chloe angeline

When we first met, I was looking at you hoping for you to see me.

i smiled and you come near me and start a conversation that start our destiny together. We share different stories about everything and we seem to forget the time passed by so quickly.

i told you that for me, you are my destiny and you soon wonder what that mean and i explain it to you in detail.

i told you that once you found your other half, you will be complete.

a man's life on earth is not complete unless he find his soulmate. for me you are my soulmate,my destiny! and now that you're gone, how can i live? how can i make myself complete again?

i breathed and lived with you for you are my life?

please help me to be strong! to be able to live another day without you! and if my time has come to meet our creator, please my love, be the one to be right by my side.

i promise you, we will meet again and continue the love we shortly shared in this lifetime. i know that when that time come, we will be the happiest couple in heaven. goodbye for now my life! see you soon!!!

Dealing with death isn’t the hard part of losing someone you love.

It is learning to deal with life here without them that is the challenge.

On Death...

by Kevin Wayne Blair

Do not fear or be sorrowful for death, as death is as much a part of life as living.

We live because God saw fit to make it so, and when he calls us home, he needs us more than any Earthly attachment.

Love life while you can, let it go when it is lost.

my best friend

by sorry person
(india)

my best friend's dad just passed away about 7 months ago and she wasn't the same after that.

This was very hard to get over for her. I know that I saw it in her everyday.

The summer of 2010 she started neglecting me and instead of understanding her pain I misinterpreted it as disrespect for me because this is the very first death I've ever experienced and me and her used to be like literally sisters.

when I say sisters I mean like blood bond without that blood bond.

But now she's gone because she said I wasn't there for her and I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm going crazy, LITERALLY.

I've been doing stupid things, crying, spazzing, just moody everyday and I don't know what to do because I want her to realize I made the mistake and that she I'm still here for her.

what do I do?

Is That All There Is?

by Barbara

coping with death

I am 69, I have struggled for independence, acceptance of others, fear, and guilt all my life.

I have recently struggled to care for my adult son, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor 12 years ago.

Life

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is a beauty, admire it
Life is a dream, realize it
Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is a duty, complete it
Life is a game, play it
Life is a promise, fulfill it
Life is a sorrow, overcome it
Life is a song, sing it
Life is a struggle, accept it
Life is a tragedy, confront it
Life is an adventure, dare it
Life is luck, make it
Life is life, fight for it.
-Mother Teresa

Death

I'd rather die alone, than to die with someone that isn't my soulmate. Death is nothing than a deep everlasting sleep.

Everyday

by Emily B.

Everyday is a day further from the day we lost a wonderful blessing in this world, but it's also one day closer to the day we'll see that blessing again.

IN LOVING MEMORY
___________

THERE WAS A QUOTE THAT ONCE WAS SAID
PUT IN A BOOK THAT I ONCE READ..
"DO NOT RESENT GROWING OLD"
MANY ARE DENIED THE PRIVILEGE"
OH SUCH A PRIVILEGE AND SHE LET IT SHOW
TO ALL THE PEOPLE SHE GOT TO KNOW.
BUT MORE IMPORTANT WE GOT TO KNOW HER
AND WITH HER MEMORIES,WE SHALL ALL FEEL SECURE,
FOR SHE SHOWED HER HAPPINESS
SHE SHOWED HER CONTENT
OF A LIFE FULL OF LIFE AND A LIFE WELL SPENT.
WITH MEMORIES AND STORIES TO CARRY ON,
IN OUR HEARTS AND IN OUR THOUGHTS
SHE SHALL NEVER BE GONE.
WE LOVE HER WE'LL MISS HER,
BUT SHALL NEVER FORGET OUR BELOVED
