death...I seem to be an expert on that one since the last few years. I dont see anything wrong with what you told her, but death will affect everyone differently depending on your emotional attachment to that person. True enough your daugher may just be saying it because that is what she hears you say, but may actually be feeling something different in her heart, only she knows and you will never know unless you ask her. My suggestion is sit her down and ask her how she feels, whats on her mind and such.The deaths I have experienced were totally unexpected and very vicious to say the least, so I guess when it comes like that your mind has a harder time understanding it, and may not ever, and why. Another thing is that tragic deaths are always rougher because they affect your mind differently than if it were expected from "normal" death circumstances (old age, etc.) and not abnormal deaths such as murder, tragic accidents, etc. I am now going through another person I love dying slowly from cancer, and yes I can say it has affected me differently as watching someone slowly slip away is hard as well, but in general death just happens, always has, always will. Best words of advice I can give you is to always tell your loved ones you love them as you never know when you may not have the chance, then its too late to say anything. Hope this helps.
trynagethigh Reviewed by trynagethigh on . Dealing with death? So, last night my ex Father in Law died...I was pretty close to him..I think he was 69...he died this morning at the hospital at 3 am.. I dont feel like I have become cold, but death has really been hitting hard this year..I picked up my youngest daughter to take her to school this morning and talked to her briefly about it and her emotion was a lot like mine...she said to me "everyone has gotta die"...those are my words, I have put that inside of her...I am sure I use that as a coping Rating: 5
