    Losing my dad at 6 only hit me when we were disinherited when I was 12 and actually only got harder with eah new year. Grew up too fast to help my mom be there for my younger siz and brother. Then in 2014, I lost my baby bro at 19. Death does not break you, it changes you. It changed me in ways I yet to even know who I am anymore. Be encouraged that some days will be hard and some will be harder but amidst everything, you will find moments of happiness, even if it will just be for a second. ((Hugs))

    The finality of death is the most painful thing ever.
    Losing my dad broke me, messed me up on many fronts. The paradox is, it teaches you to love HARD.

    I watched my brother fight for his life , up till he gave it up,I had and was willing to use all resources but it wasn’t good enough,God had decided he wanted him ,I got into depression ,but when I went through the process and finished ,I became better and started living ! But pain never really goes away !

    I can relate 110% death just seems like a passing cloud until it hits home. I lost my mum about 3 years ago, the closest that death has hit us. My outlook has changed totally. Even when I visit with bereaved people I have a feeling of just how devastating the loss of a loved one is and how pained they feel.

    Death is a sad thing..I lost my dad about 4 years ago.and being the firstborn i sometimes think i killed him becoz of all the failures in my life..when he died i had lots of problems..a marriage that was stressful and wasnt working..I was nowhere in life and i think it depressed him too. I couldnt even mourn him properly..couldnt even cry at his burial(was being strong for my siblings and mom..thats what firstborns do anyway).but alone in my bed at night i cry i mourn him..still feel i couldve been there..changed things.(they said he died of pressure or something of the sort ...)anyway death and coping with it is really hard..hugs to you.

    I truly agree with you when u say it hits too bad when you lost a close family member, To me I had a similar case where by I only knew relatives who lost their family member's bur came to me and hit me like a thunder where by everyone was struggling to break those terrible news" They had to do calculations so well to protect me from any harm when my lovely ma'am went to be with her Lord, she was my best friend, my confidante, my everything all my family member's, friend's and even my very own young family new that . ..I was in foreign land somewhere n Europe, That morning 18 month's ago, darkened my life, my World torn a part where i even sink to a depression completing suicide, I never thought I will be here today since the fateful day" just to say I never thought you still needs your mother even when you're grown enough but yeees u needs her. 😎😎😎🙂. .Bur God grace has been sufficient am still striving on strongly.😐😐😊 ..may all those lost close family members find solace and seek counselling services since it helps a bit. God bless u all..

    Thank you for sharing Gacheri ♥. Thank you for speaking on my behalf. I lost my youngest brother in June 2016 in a tragic road accident along Machakos Junction when he had just turned 19 and was supposed to be joining campus. I can tell you it's the hardest thing anyone can go through, waking up to the reality that someone you grew up with is no more leaves a wide gap than no one can ever get to fill. Two years plus later, and I still don't think that time heals, it breaks my heart reminding myself that he is no more but I still got to pick myself up and move forward. It's life anyway, we are all passersbys.
