What can I do to take my mind off of a family members death?!


Question: What can I do to take my mind off of a family members death?
My great grandmother passed away about a week ago of cancer. After seeing her in pain, sick, slowly forgetting how to talk and then at rest in her coffin I have been trying to stay strong about it though it's not easy to see I know I have to move on and enjoy life while I have it. I miss her and will always love her. It's really all I can think about and i just need some ideas that would make me feel better or something to take my mind off of it for at least a little while. Any ideas?

Answers:

Oh I'm so so sorry! You don't have to be strong, there's nothing wrong with grieving! It takes time! Of course you miss her & will always love her.

Here's some encouraging articles, about coping with the death of loved ones, I just lost a dear friend of mine, & this article is so beautiful to me: "Coping with Grief" http://www.watchtower.org/e/20080701/art…
& "When a Loved One Dies" http://www.watchtower.org/e/20080701/art…

These might not take your mind off of your great grandmother, but it is comforting & will help you cope & deal. I promise!



Personally even though I'm a guy I think it's ok if you feel bad about losing your great grandmother. I felt bad when I lost mine. But when it comes to trying to feel better I would talk to some of my more serious friends or other family members. You never know what they might know about coping for a loved one that has passed. BTW: Very sorry for your lost.



I would say, think about it, don't forget her. Remember her great personality and how she influenced you and how much knowing her meant to you. Charish these memories and feel good about having known such a wonderful person.



she suffer a lot, but she is no longer suffering
why don't you volunteer at a nursing home? child care? community kitchen, it can help you keep your mind off it



Hang out with friends, enjoy the out doors, drawing art and visiting other family members.

Lost a love one.



It is very normal to feel this way. Your own body is in shock because truly, our soul never dies. Intuitively we know there is more. You will see her again, but meanwhile it is normal to grieve.



you should engage your own business,so you dally decreases your grandmother past love.
