well basically thats it, how do you personally deal with death in your lives.
ive seen alot of death in my family, but more so in my close friends.
At age 16 i lost my best friend whom i knew for 8 years.A couple years ago i lost someone else i knew for a few years and now in the last month ive lost 2 people who both had cancer, one who passed away this morning, and its got me on edge. not sure how im supposed to deal with it anymore.

So how about you all, how do you deal with death...i know some people deal easier then others.

Buy a few cartons of beer and retreat into your house for a week.

it doesnt really phase me. i doubt the people who died would want friends/loved ones to spend time in a depressed state and shit over it. you can cry all you want, wont bring back the dead lol

Go out for a drink.

Doesn't seem to affect me, at least not yet. Had a grandpa die, a grandma, cousin, great great grandpa, few friends die, and my sister came like an inch from death but none of it ever seemed to matter to me.

I guess none of them were close enough to care because i'm pretty sure i'm not a psychopath or anything

I cut myself

I don't have emotions. You could argue that I deal with it by not dealing with it, but I'd have to counter-argue in order for me to avoid it, I'd have to care about it. I seriously feel nothing for the people in my life. And it goes even further where I'd actually prefer some of them dead so they'd leave me alone instead of inconveniencing me by talking to me.

Still have my all my family members, even one that reached 102 last year.

I have been playing soccer for 9 years ( quit when I was 16 ) and the last 4 years 2 brothers trained us, coached our games etc. they were 21 and 22. last year, they wrapped their drunk asses around a tree. Dead. Didn't really affect me at all somehow, probably because they were stupid as fuck for driving drunk and they could've killed someone else.

Only lost one friend/family member, one of my grandads. Both of my grandma's were already gone when I was born. I cried at the funeral a bit but it didn't seem to affect me all that much, I wasn't really as close to him as I am to the other (ironic, considering he lived like 3 miles away and the other lives about 150 miles away in Yorkshire).

only one i cared about dying was my granddad, missed him but didnt really do the cliché mourning you see in movies etc. I mean i didnt run around crying or doing stupid shit, just missed him.

Depends on the individual who has passed. If I am close to them, I cry, like most normal people.

Only had my grandfather pass away so far :\. I kept myself to myself eyes watered up at funeral but held it together mostly. It didn't really hit me that he was just gone.

Didn't really lose someone close to me so far, except my mom her twin sister but that's mainly because my mother was super close to her. I don't know how i would react if i'd lose my mother, father, brother, girlfriend or one of my best friends.

when my dad died in like 2003 i was pking on rs
after some minor distractions i was back owning it up

sad thing is im not being sarcastic/trolling in any way.

Only persons I've lost are my grandfather and a cousin.

Compared to others in my family I don't seem to be affected by it THAT much but I was sad nonetheless.

My way to get over it is thinking they're in a better place right now. (but that's just because they both suffered alot at the end of their lives).
Don't know if that applies to you too.

I don't publicly grieve. And no that isn't code for go home sit on the bed and cry, it's more of an internal thing and I just do alot of thinking. Depends on the person but that's what I did like two months ago with my uncle that I was rather close to. When I was younger of course I was more public about it and cried (especially 'bout my grandma and grandpa) but I was like six and ten when those respectively happened.

That's one of the few positives I can find in religion. Although I believe that there is no 'better' place, at the very least I know that they aren't suffering anymore.

I stab someone else so I can transfer my misery to a random family.

only time can really help.. or atleast with me it does.

Had my dads mum, and my mums grandma die on the same day (24th december)

Gotta admit i cried a bit, i was only 12 though. now i just think a lot,

Better place != Heaven.
Being at rest seems a lot better than being in constant pain.

death is permanent and no mourning is gonna change that so i just get on with life

Luckily i havent experienced any good friends/siblings/parents dying, but i've lost one grandfather and a grandmother. I think i was 14 when my grandmother died, and 11 when my grandfather died. Cried in both funerals and still miss them sometimes

I only remember losing both my Grandfathers, I was around 8 at the time so it didn't effect me that much. I'm not sure how I would react to losing one of my family members/best friends.

I'm very private in my mourning. When it's someone close I will definitely cry and detach from reality for a while, but I eventually just swallow my sorrow. I'm very rational, so I try to tell myself that it's just a part of life. I have to be somewhat callous as a surgeon though, since it's something I will encounter often.

I cry like normal people. I doubt the people who died would want friends/loved ones to spend time in a depressed state and shit over it. you can cry all you want, wont bring back the dead lol

You must be a badass.

I've lost my uncle and my grandfather. My grandfather's funeral was a year ago to this day actually.

My uncle's death i was a little unsure of how to deal with. I did cry over it and I still think about him from time to time.

My grandfather on the other hand, I am over it, I have accepted the reality, but my grandmother has been a wreck since my grandfather died, and I feel more sad for her that she lost the one person who she gave her life to.

My mother and I made a slide show for my grandfather, and the songs that play during it usually make me think about him, always have, and they always will (song is called "In Loving Memory", by Altar Bridge)

Death isn't something that you can avoid, you just have to find confidence in family and friends and know that they are there for you in your time of need.

And whoever said they don't feel anything for anyone, good to know, just drop dead so the world can live in peace without your cynical bullshit.

I'm a total humanist and if you're not then I hope you die.

no one really close to me has died except for my dog lucy and rat dennis, i cried at both and still miss them

Just get over it eventually

All 4 of my grandparents are alive, the only relations that have died that Iv heard about (while Iv been alive) were my grand uncle (which I have little memory of) and some 3rd cousin I never met. Apart from that nobody close has ever died to me so I dont really know how I deal/will deal with death.

I'll see you again one day, Woody.

act pissed off/sad for a bit then i get over it

Haven't had anyone close to me die yet, thankfully. However, my grandparents are probably going to hit in <10 years. The thought scares me and, call me a pussy, but I get really upset and eyes feel like they could tear up. I have a really close family, grandparents and my uncle included.

If it was someone i cared about like my mom or dad, I would probably cry for several days and play a bunch of computer games to occupy myself.

After several weeks, I think I would be able to rationalize their death without being as emotional and move on bit by bit over time.

i would give my life for my parents in a heartbeat if i could ^

yeah i would give my kidney/liver/blood/bone marrow(?) but if i die my mom would have no reason to continue on. Not joking. Im her only child and she's very, very protective. my dad would probably go on fine, he has like 3 kids.

Tis sad

I'm not sure yet. When I was born, both of my grandfathers were dead and a few years ago my grandma died. I don't know I was sad but I didn't cry. It was probably because I never got to see her a lot and we didn't get that relation that builds up with someone you hang around. It will be very different if someone from the family members that live with me, like my dad, mom, brother or sister were to pass away. Hopefully it doesn't happen anytime soon.

No, he's just Alan.

what

It sucks but it's the way life is, people can't live forever, just try to enjoy your time with those that are still alive.

No direct family or friend has died yet so dnt no

Listen to some sad songs. Try to cry. Can't. Just get sad when I think about em. I don't like to think about death now that I have a kid. Kind of scary.

Lost my dad last October, a few days before his birthday. He died from a sudden heart attack. Couldn't sleep for months and very often I have those dreams that seem so real and I'm thinking "am I dreaming?" I try to forcibly wake myself up and it doesnt work and I think "Afterall, it was just a bad dream" then minutes later I finally wake up. Shit way to start a day.

Honestly the only thing you can do is live on with your life. As brian burke once said "You cry a little less everyday"

That must of been a really shit christmas ;x

I just don't think about it/let it get to me.

I was listening to Muse - Unintended when I heard my grandpa had died. It's pretty sad to start with, but fuck it's bad now.

Only had to deal with the death of two relatives, one was my great grandfather who I wasn't that close to since he lived so far away, I think I only saw him like 5 times or something, the other was my grandmother who I was very close to and i'm not gonna lie I cried like a baby when I heard about it.

Think I was like 12 at the time, still gets to me sometimes but you've gotta move on.
