The pain will never go away. It'll still be a memory and a part of who you are you just have to think of the happy times you had with them and live your life. Try to remember how much fun you had with them and know that they are in a better place. tell me more!

The pain will never go away it will always be deep inside you. Try going to a shrink or some sort of counseler or talk to someone who lost the same person that you did.

The pain'll never completely go away, but just try to think about all of the happy times you had with them, and let yourself cry .. it's healthy. If you want, look into some grief support groups // counseling in your area.

Hey~I don't think that anyone can ever get over a death of a family member or friend. I know from experience. It is best to talk to family about your problems, or even close friends. You could even write a poem or story about the person you lost. Hope I helped. ~Paige~

Ok, I know exactly what you are going through u could most definately pray. Praying is the best medicine for the death of someone. You could also view photos of the deceased love one or recall good times with that person it helps to remember the good things..

Actually I dont know the answer to this .. it's almost impossible.. especially if u were really close to them. And the thing is.. you never have to lose grief over their death.. you dont have to be afraid to be sad! Cry till you feel satisfied! Actually it's not impossible because you CAN deal with it.. you can live your life.. be happy.. im sure *he/she* would be Happy knowing that your living your life happy! thinking about them every day is fine. get a picture of them. talk to a guidance counselor or whatever .. a parent .. you know.. if u lost a parent then that is REALLY hard.. but I've lost all 4 grandparents when i was young so i've dealed with like 8 deaths! i'm alive but it doesnt mean I ever stop thinking about them. My grandmother was born on May 7th died on August 7th her lucky number was 7.. and she died when she was 77.. when i think about the number 7 i think about her. im sure there are things that remind u of them. Keep your head up high. Be Happy. =D . love laura

For some people, the grief over losing a loved one never goes away. However, in time, the severity of the grief should lessen to the extent that it does not hinder your moving on with your life, engaging in day-to-day tasks, and continuing healthy relationships with family and friends.
Perhaps, group or individual counselling could help to make your grief more manageable. I think it's important to realize that it's okay to be happy and successful in this life without your loved one, and allowing yourself joy and happiness does mean that you are forsaking them. You honor your loved one by taking care of yourself and living your life in a positive way.
I don't know what your personal religious beliefs are, but I believe that you will be reunited eventually, but for now there is more work for you to do here. However, know that you can continue to draw on the love and support of your loved one until it's time for you to move on from this world.
Without knowing more of the specifics of your situation, I feel that I can only make the generalized statements above, but I sincerely hope that you find the best way for you to move past your grief and into the next phase of your life successfully. Best of luck to you.
Kind wishes,

well u can stay busy and try not to think about them as much but when u do remember the good memories and soon u will be together again cause life wont last and soon enough u will be with him or her.but until then hold on to those happiest memories and know u will soon be together again.

Well, if you really miss your loss, talk to your school guidance conseler. (I can't spell, night thing) Take the griefe group in Guidance. Or, make a poster about the loss. Put pictures, and memories on it. Every night look at it and say a prayer. Remember, even if you can't see your loved one, he or she will always be with you, forever, to guide you through problems, and stick by your side when you're in need.
Love,
Morgan
