There is no easy answer for this and there is no 'best' way. Everyone grieves in their own way. However, keeping the person alive in memory is a good idea. Even though they are physically gone, they don't need to gone in spirit or mind. They are always with you watching over you. Include them in your future.

THis can very difficult to deal with. You can try to start speaking with family members who are also going through the same thing. You can also speak with anyone you are close to and feel that you can trust. If that doesn't help you can try seeking help through counseling or therapy or grief support groups for further help.

Grief is normal. I lost a family member a year ago and one when I was six. Talking helps and I like to think they are proud of me no matter what.

The best way to move on is to give it time. Other things will come to pass, and the pain will lessen everyday.

Give yourself lots of time to heal, everyone is different with how they deal with grief. Everyday remind yourself that they love you and that they're looking over you and protecting you.

I lost a family member last summer and the anniversary of his death is coming up. In order for me to cope im spending a lot of time with family and trying not to keep my feelings inside. Its important to let yourself have feelings and to cry. Obviously you can never be completely over something like that, especially if you were close with the person. It takes time. Something a lot of my family did was start seeing a therapist to deal with the trauma. Having someone understand from a professional standpoint can do a lot of good.

We all have expiry dates in life. No one lives forever. When our love ones expire before us, we experience excruciating loss, the kind that we are never prepared for. There is no one strategy to get over a family member's death for everyone. No two person can heal in the same manner in the same amount of time. Our wounds heal differently at different rates. Hence, we must be patient and exercise self-compassion in times of bereavement. Allow yourself to grieve in anyway that you feel like grieving. Do not try to mask it with substance abuse,although it is very tempting to do so. Many people for instance had their pain doubled when they turn to alcohol to ease their pain.This however only compounded their problems. It only leads to further problems and increase pain.Self-compassion includes self-care such as having more rest when you need to n ensuring proper nutrition, exercise n rest for your agitated state. Identify supportive people whom you can approach for a chat for venting. Take meditation breaks n mindfulness exercises throughout the day. Take each day at a time.

That means to say, just let all your emotions pour out. Cry, scream, punch, kick or talk crap. I don’t care. DO NOT repress your emotions. Bottling up your feelings is one of the worst things you can do to yourself, especially when something major like that happens to you in your life.Don’t put up a front just cause you want to appear strong to this world or something. The world is the world. They cannot and will never understand what you go through in your own special life. So deal with it the way you want. Deal with the loss yourself. Always remember you are not alone!
