I am sorry to hear about everyone's losses. Death is one of the hardest parts of living I think. It's something you never get over, you just learn to deal with it the best that you can. I've experinence my own losses in the past few years. I first lost my dad, who was only 45, to a freak occurrence during a knee surgery, this was especially hard since it was so sudden and unexpected. Not a day goes by where I don't think of him, I was a "Daddy's Girl." My whole life has changed in less than four years, he died in Dec. 2000, after my first semester of college. It's hard for me to see other people who still have their fathers, I'll never be able to have my dad walk me down the aisle or anything, that's a horrible feeling. My mom has remarried and lives in a different house w/her new husband. I feel welcomed there,but it's not home. I have really lost my sense of belonging somewhere, my life I knew is gone and it is very foreign to me. Also I lost my great uncle and my grandmother in consecutive years to lung cancer. Previous to that, my ohter grandmother died of a burst anerism. I've often felt ovewhelmed at times, the whole why me situtation, and I know people are in a lot worse situations than me. At least I had my dad for 18 years, some people never get to know their parents. Anyway, I'm still coping, taking one day at a time. You never forget, but you learn how to manage your overwhelming feelings of grief, confusion and anger.
