I am by no means trying to tell someone how they should deal with the death of a loved one, or how to help someone through an ordeal such as that, other than to be there for them emotionally.
But I would like to share this web-site I stumbled upon today. It may help some in dealing with death, where for others it may not. All I can do is share and send loving energy to those in need.
I am always fascinated by coincidences of life. I was email the same article from Infinite Being today, Essence, and wanted to share it with everyone on Global Oneness.
I'm still learning how to use this web-sight and was unsure of how to post it. Thank you for making it known to others, I enjoyed it very much. It is because of such articles, that I am able to be at peace regarding the death of many loved friends and family members.
For EternalSearch, I would say pretty much the same as Essence. Let her Know you are there for her, be her friend when others fade away unable to cope with her grief. Sometimes just being there with someone who is suffering can mean more than any words can say. I know God will guide you to do what is needed.
It's hard to come up with the words when trying to convey how we feel when someone passes. "I know how you feel" doesn't cut it and neither does "They're in a better place". You can never know how another person truly feels and they are not ready to think about a better place. I've found the best thing is just letting them know you're there for them...and meaning it.

It is so hard to know what to do or say when someone dies. I recently went through this when my best friends mother hung herself. The most I could do was let her know I was there for her if she needed anything and offer a shoulder for her to cry on.
Thanks. I would never tell someone I know how they feel unless I have been in that situation myself-and truthfully even then, everyone reacts differently and you can't be sure how the other feels. It turns out that there was a friend in the house at the time, so it was all rather more complicated than we thought, and it's just been a case of open invite to dinner, which she has accepted a couple of times.
My brother died about 4 years ago and its still fresh. The things that helped me out from other people were-- meals being made for us people either dont remember meals at a time like that or they eat all the junk food they can so making a nice rounded meal was always nice-hugs hugs and more hugs - just ask if they need a hug that was the best emotional support anyone could give me at the time because i didn't even know how to talk about it, also just be there physically was always nice having people around even if I wasn't talking to them felt like I was less alone, things in the house that need to get done like cleaning was nice too because the shock was so great that there was no movement in modivation -- but some people are diffferent some do these things to deal with the tragic event - no one really ever knows exactly what someone else needs but this is what I experienced.
Its always hard when someone passes, but I have always believed that death is a transition not an end and this has always given me great comfort and strength in the end. Otherwise being there for whatever they need and helping with chores and food is the best way to help most often.
Many times it is said that a parent should never bury their child and while that is the case many feel, its not always how life takes us down its windy path. Be there in any way needed but do not expect them to understand this fully as its a very hard life lesson that many have faced and still grieving years later.
