Published by How Does One Deal With Death
For beginners everyone deals with death differently, a lot has to do with the circumstances and most important the relationship you had with the deceased. The hardest part is dealing with the “finale” of the end of ones life. Many people clam up, others babble, while other goes one crying until they can’t cry anymore; then continue crying.

If it is a friend, it many are difficult but it is manageable, may cause a bit of depression, but your able to move on. Sometimes we attend funeral out of respect, and even still we find them upsetting, while others handle it quite well.
The closer the relationship to the deceased whether its family or friend; the harder it becomes to deal with. At first there is shock, which is when we go through the motions of life, dealing with the funeral, then over the next day or so; reality sets in. It is at that point that the depression can become over whelming, especially if it is your spouse, or you own child. When it is a very close family member there are so many preparation and paper work and unless you have been there you have no real understanding of the decision that need to be made; there is so much going on you don’t have time to mourn.
It is helpful to have close friends and family around, but having your faith firmly in place is what may make things easier, it gives you faith, hope and the inspiration to believe that they have gone to a better place; and your sadness comes from missing that person. With the help of Jesus Christ, through prayer, you may find peace and tranquility.

It is hard to love God at this most horrible time in your life, but let it be a reminder that God’s love is never ending; and after the hate and anger, he will welcome you back with open arms. Many people need to mourn; it is quite necessary and helps in the process, of shock, realization, anger and sadness.
So next time your attending a funeral or your comforting someone, let them cry, scream, question and talk; for this too is something they need to do, and have someone there to help them through this difficult time in there life.
Nice articles, thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed your article. Death can be really hard for people to accept. I haven’t lost anyone really close to me, but I have lost family members.
a very articulate post. Yes, people have different approach when it come to dealing with the death of a love one. In 200, my father died and we shed tears for him but the good part is that deep inside our heart, we are rejoicing because we believe he is now in heaven with the Father.
Nice article and very consoling.Thanks.
Death of some one you know is always hard to deal with. It took me a long time to get over the death of my father as he was still quite young. A sensitively written article with good advice.
