I'm broken.
kalomeli, I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss your friend's family is dealing with-how horrible. So young. My heart goes out to all of you.
AprilBaby said:I have been reading about near death experiences recently and 99 percent of them said death was very peaceful and joyful and they didn't want to come back. Even those who had "painful" deaths had no pain or fear. That's comforting to me. I fear the pain of death but not the afterlife because I believe I know where I will be. If these people are right, the pain should hold no fear.
AprilBaby, thanks for sharing this. That is a comforting thought.

I helped one of my parents die, as best as I could, and I would hope that my children would do the same for me. It was obviously a hard thing to go through. If you have the opportunity to help someone make that journey, I encourage you to. I learned things about the process, life, my parent, and myself. I miss them dearly, and over time, the longing does not decrease.
pregcurious, yes, missing your loved ones is something that is always there with you no matter how much time has passed. I still miss my grandmother terribly (22 years gone now) and my darling kitty as well. I am so sorry for all your losses and I am glad going through the process you went through with them helped somewhat.
