A week ago, I got a text from my mom saying that my little brother, Joe, had passed away from medical complications he'd been having since August.

His funeral was the other day, but I unfortunately had to miss it because of my work schedule. Knowing that many of us wouldn't be there, compounded with not wanting to deal with the trouble making side of the family, we held a memorial service for him just a few hours ago.

He was only 21... He left us too early. Even though I finally have the closure, it still hurts.

Have you guys lost any loved ones recently? If so, how did you cope.

Ouch. That's way too early.

I've only ever lost grandparents in the past. That hurt pretty bad at the time.

As for coping.. I just didn't face reality for a while. Every time, I just refused to face reality and shut myself away from it for a week or so. Helped let acceptance slowly sink in.


The world could always use more heroes!

Ouch....that's harsh, and as Gywall said, way too young.

In July, we unexpectedly lost my wife's mother. She was recovering from having a valve replaced in her heart, which that surgery went very well and her heart was doing well...but her lungs and kidneys failed shortly after and she wasn't able to recover.

I was a pretty somber summer, as we kind of kept to ourselves and didn't say much to anyone or go out anywhere, nor did we smile much for a few months. It still brings tears to my wife when we're out and she remembers things her mother liked and such.

Sorry Trel.

Damn, that sucks. I suppose you don't want to speak of what it was that caused his...demise, so to speak.

I/we lost an aunt about 10 years ago. It all went fast. She got home from work and felt some pressure over her chest so she went to bed to rest, stopped breathing, went to the hospital and died. At that time they didn't know what it was. When they found out, it was some ridiculously rare heart-failure that maybe 2 or 3 people in the country had had before. It was apparently inheritable so most of us were tested.

The moment we heard about her death, my legs almost failed me. My father tried to comfort me by holding is arms around me (more like tried to do it) but it shoved them away. I didn't want to be pampered with despite what happened. An odd thing happened the next day.

I didn't feel any sorrow. Not one single shred of sorrow. I've thought about why several times but I can't come up with an answer. It's not that I'm insensitive. I just didn't feel anything. It was the same at the funeral. No tears. Nothing. We've had a couple more funerals like that.

My Grandpa just died last Monday. I posted about it in the other thread I made in here. It's... tough, but it happened far away, and it ended nicely. It's never easy though, I've had to deal with it twice. Nearly three times, my dad nearly died of a heart attack, and if it was a very close family member I don't know HOW I could handle it. I don't know what I would think if my brothers died. I'm a very emotional person, I'd probably break down. A little pathetic but fuck it, that's how I am.
