'Coping With Grief'

 

Due to the recent and unexpected death of one of our friends, I thought I'd discuss grief, and how we all cope with it.

When I initially heard about the loss, I dealt with it by being close and understanding to my friends who were taking a worse reaction, but since then, I've become wanting to be away from people in general, and also I've been thinking about it constantly, which isn't really a good thing, as it is brining back out my neurotic depression.

The question of how were meant to cope with loss is a difficult one, as their is not really any specific way we're meant to, we do it in our own different way. One thing it did to me, was to make me reaffirm how much I love Lady V, as I love her so much, and to lose her in any way would kill me.

Death and related things are always too open-ended a subject to deal with, as we know not what springs from it, or what possibly comes after it. We're all welcome to our beliefs in what comes after, whether it be reincarnation, or the belief in an afterlife, but that is not what I wish to come upon.

I welcome any and all thoughts on the subject, and would be interested to hear others opinions, but in those opinions, I do not wish to cause any harm or distress to anyone.

I will expand on this subject on anothewr occasion.
