How to deal?
(warning, long)Okay - I've fairly recently had to go through two deaths of one close family friend and a friend of mine. I am now very, very scared to have to undergo another funeral, and also, when the family friend died, my mother took it very hard even though she wasn't even all that close to him. A couple of my relatives are in failing health, and not to sound like a downer, but they will be passing on soon. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I could prepare myself for this, cope, and try to help my mom along as well? (the not-so-healthy family members are on my mom's side..)

wow that will be very hard for your mom, and i am sorry for your losses as well. i would suggest just letting your mom know that you are there for her, and actually do it. when she cries hold her and talk about it with her,all she really needs now is to know that you will be there no matter what. i wish you and your family well.

You need to sit your mother down and just kind of go over what is happening. Just tell her maybe kindly that their death may be nearing, not neccesarily meaning that they're close though. I know what this is like because when my grandmother died I didn't know for about 4 hours. I know it seems short but I was only a kid, and I was very close to my grandmother. Anyways, enough about me, we're talking about you. You need to pray or whatever it is your religious belief does, every night for each individual family member. You can not do much becuase this is just a way of life. Just do what it is that you are able to control. Most importantly, remember: Do not under any circumstances blame your self.

Im very sorry to hear that a way to think of it is there in an a lot better place now. They have no problems at all and probably happier and no matter what they'll always be with you. tell your mom that to. Give feed back!
