How do you guys deal with death?

Hi...you have had a rough summer. It can seem overwhelming when so much happens in a short period of time. You already have some great answers, so mine will be brief. The best way to deal with death is to let yourself feel the sadness and anger, and go ahead and cry and talk about it, and even lay around in bed for a few days wallowing in self pity. You'll soon get sick of yourself, and be ready to go back to face the world head on again. People who postpone the grieving process by throwing themselves into work, or stuffing their feelings actually suffer longer, and can even manifest physical illness from it. It isn't weak to face your feelings....it's smart. Death is as much a part of life as breathing....so learning how to deal with it is a pretty important stage in our development. You'll surprise yourself sometimes at how well you can deal with things if you give yourself permission to just feel what you feel, and then get back on with it.
