    Its always hard to lose someone you love but it must be really hard to lose so many close together.All I can say is even though it doesn`t feel like it ,time heals all wounds as time goes on you begin to remember the good times with them instead of the things surrounding their death . Let yourself feel the sadness but don`t cling to it ,they wouldn`t want that for you. God be with you.

    I know how you feel I lost my mother and the next day her sister died, very hard to deal with ,but then I was never close to either one. No matter , we all have to accept death , it's all part of life.

    I have never had to go through the death of a close relative. My mom's real dad had died about two years ago, but I never met him and he killed himself. The best thing to do is find comfort from other's and to think about the happy things. We all will have to deal with it sometime in our life. Everyday hundreds of people die around the world and it doesn't change us, but one person who was close in our life can change everything.

    I've only ever experienced what is is to lose someone to death once, so I can't imagine what your going through.

    But what I do know, is that as time goes on, although it may not feel like it at the moment, you will be able to smile again, and continue to enjoy life, as you did before all this.

    I found that losing my Grandad, in December of 2005, made me have a whole new concept of life, and since then, I've been really living.

    The advice I can offer you, is don't let any of this keep you from living, grieve, but remember the good times, talk to them, write a letter, but remember they wouldn't want you to stay sad.

    Harness your feelings of it. i was reading a book on theodore roosevelt, where when his dad died instead of being so sad his brother and sisters decided they were going to honor him by doing all he taught them and more.

    and considering T. R. became president, i'd say he gave his dad back a little of what he gave, at least

    :S i dont really know what to do to ease the pain of the loss but think of the good times and keep the best memorys of them with you so if you ever feel sad in remembering them just think of how good a time you had with them and how they wouldnt like to see you sad in their leave.

    Deal with it by accepting it.
    Everyone dies.
    Everything dies.
    You have life now, don't spend it worrying about death.

    Deana ^^ time heals all wounds

    no, in my experience time does not always heal. you just learn to live with the pain. my grandfather died about 5 years ago and i still haven't entirely recovered. in time you may FORGET, the memories fade, that part of your life becomes less important. its a previous chapter that you rarely think of. you may erect walls (figuratively) to protect yourself, denial may save you, but in my experience there is little healing.

    learn to move on and treasure the time you had. honor their memory and find the inner strength that resides deep inside of you. that strength is what will get you through this. i'm sorry and don't be afraid to go to someone if you need help. that's the best advice i can give you.
