Death and grief, which basically go hand in hand, truly suck. There is really no other way to put it. It will end up being one of the hardest parts of your life no matter how tough your life is.
1. No matter how many people say they are by your side through the whole grieving process, it will not decrease the pain you are feeling.
2. Let what happened in the past; go and live your life the way it is happening.
There is a reason that you are experiencing what you are in life at the time you are. God or whoever you believe in has a plan for you and they know where you are supposed to be going, you will get there.
3. It's OK to cry and let all of your emotions out.
There is no reason to hold it all in and just overwork your body. You are human, you can cry and show people what you are feeling. It is OK.
4. There will be days you don't feel like getting out of bed or doing anything but you have to.
In my experience, these days sucked a lot, but eventually you will see the sunshine.
5. The pain you are feeling at the moment is just temporary.
Over time you will learn to live with your life the way it is.
6. The moment you heard the news of someone dying your life was altered and would never go back to the way it was before without you possibly not even knowing it.
7. Talking to someone who can relate to what you are going through helps a lot and can really give you a positive outlook on your new life because you might not feel like you are the only one feeling this pain.
8. It could be years later and grief will just hit you like a pile of bricks were just thrown at you.
There's no way to really know when you will feel it, but you can control how it affects you.
9. You will become stronger because of the pain you went through.
10. You will have lost a friend, but sometimes that isn't always a bad thing.
Life has plans for you that you have no control over. Losing someone you love dearly can be a blessing in disguise because you now have a guardian angel who protects you and looks over you at all costs.
