Try doing what makes you happy :) It could be anything. From listening to a song to shopping in the mall. It may be tough to cope as a member passed away but it will get better for you :)

Believe that they can still be there for you and that they watch over you. Writing to the person or talking to them even if they can't read it or hear you really helps.

Personally, I'd dedicate something to them, a song or a poem(?) and when I feel like I am unable to cope I would sing the song or read the poem and remember that although I cannot see them again, I'll always remember how happy they were.

You can not cope knowing that you'll never see them again. In the beginning it will be hard but you will learn how to deal with it and you will learn that it is hard to miss somebody and know that you'll never see them again. And you will also learn to handle the pain

Death sadly is a process in all of our lives. It happens to us and we don't like to know it occurs in our lives, but it's just circle of life. Just know, you will see them when you pass away, and you will know they're in a better place and they're not suffering through any of that pain anymore. Sometimes death isn't such a bad thing. There is a collateral beauty in losing someone sometimes.

While it may be difficult knowing that you will never see a loved one again, there are some things you can do to cope with the loss to help you move forward. Some ideas are to think about the positive qualities/memories of this person, then journal your thoughts about them. Write poetry to deal with your feelings in a creative way. Also, if the family member was a parent, remember that he/she is always with you every time your heart beats.

you have to accept the fact that everyone of us have to leave for our eternal journey. you know you have to overcome. there would be enough memories of the passed away with you for you to cherish them for the rest of your life.

Everybody has to leave planet Earth someday, even people who are really close to us. However yiu still have all the memories which you shared with them, and even death won't take it away from you.

Accepting the present is the most important thing you can do. Remembering the good times is another, and moving on is the best thing to do, knowing you won't see them again.
