Often our feelings are awash with great anguish and sorrow not only for the one who is gone but also for ourselves. We relive memories and recount last moments or contacts hoping beyond hope that it is all a dream. Though in the end reality can only be what it is.

Dealing with loss is something that nearly all adults have dealt with.

We know the pangs of regret and we all have developed our own methods for handling these situations. Unfortunately though, not all of us deal with our losses in the best way. For some people, thoughts of self destruction dominate our mindscape and it is very easy for one to feel that this is the only way to relieve our pains, while others may seek to numb their senses through a variety of ultimately unhealthy practices.

Coping is not easy. It can take days or a lifetime to accomplish. The most important thing is that you do it constructively. Often the best way to cope with loss is to be with friends and family as they are the ones who share the same loss. Together, you can support each other. There are also various groups that you can join that will contain people who have endured the same kind of tragedy that you have. Talking to people who share you loss and understand what you are going through can offer moral support and that is the best and most constructive way to deal with the loss of a loved one.
