How to deal with the loss of a family member
Emotional time for me, I lost my Gramma about 2 days ago too colen cancer. I’m having a hard time dealing with it. Any thoughts, ideas? The death of a family member is always hard no matter how they passed.
I’d suggest talking to friends and family but if this is too difficult you can always try bereavement councelling.
I’ve always found writing helps me,especially poems.
Try not to dwell on the sadness of your Gramma’s passing but on how much she made you happy and loved you
My sympathies are with you at this difficult time. It helps to know that your loved one is free from all the pain and suffering, and in a better place where you hope to join them eventually in that place of everlasting peace and happiness. Dear Mel,
I am so sorry for your loss. You must have loved her very much and there’s no easy way to mend a brocken heart. I have lost my father, mother and sister to cancer. The latter two were very close to me and my wounds over my sister’s death are still fresh. We burried her only a week ago, 5.08.2008. She had breast cancer, diagnized 4 years back.
What I can tell you is to take heart. God has a reason why this has happened and he will give you and your family the grace to endure. Yes, for a long time, you will feel like someone is punching a needle inside your heart, nothing might interest you much but eventually the pain will easen.
Read more about cancer, go for regular tests and talk about it a lot. Tell your friends, somehow talking to someone about it helps. What I have learned is that we have no right over life, only God does. Since we desire to see our beloved again, then it is important to live a righteous life so we can meet again in heaven. Just know that you have an extra angel watching over you. One you love and have known and touched. Who understands you deeply.
God bless and stand on the promises of God. He cannot give you a load you cannot carry. Give thanks.
Regards,
Jacqueline – Kenya Thank you very much, probably was the best thing anyone has said/wrote too me since it’s happened. Most people don’t know what too say or how too act when something like this happens. He seems too be giving me alot of loads of things.hard too handle majority of the time. I am also sorry to hear about your father, sister & mother. Hi Melanie , I feel your pain ,I to have just lost a dear friend with ovarian cancer. We have to cry to mend and we have to allow ourselves to greive. There is no easy way but time will heal us.Always know that they are standing beside us and supporting us but we just can’t see them, but they are still there. Create a garden or plant a tree in memory of her. Knowing that she will always be watching over her grandaughter with love and pride in you Think of her as your own personal angel. Sorry too hear about your friend. I have cried & greived, still going through the whole process. I know like time heals all wounds etc but I’ve never had a person this close too me pass away, totally new experience for me. Don’t wish it on anyone. I know she loved me very much, still does even though she isn’t here & I’ll make her proud, best I can. Hi Melanie
It is never easy losing a loved one. I lost my father 2 years ago, but still find it hard to deal with his death. I thought time will heal but I find myself missing him even more. My father died of renal failure- due to his kidneys. I must say talking about my father to other family members help a bit. I always try to remember the good times we shared. God was my inspiration, He pulled me through. You will experience on days that you’ll feel down. But remember we dont like to see our family suffer like that. I know that our loved one’s watch over us. They are our guardian angels. Believe, Be strong. Im thinking of you.
