How do you deal with death?

Hi @Onepunch

I would like to add my condolences to those of @pip and @Former-Member

I feel I cannot add a "like" to these comments - the suicide of a close friend or a loved one is always such a hard thing to face - a hard thing to ever come to terms with

Having lost a son and a cousin to suicide I know there is nothing at all anyone can say to console you except to let you know we hear you and understand - but when it comes to dealing with it - it's too hard to deal with it just now - that will come when the shock has worn off the the numbness that is protecting you right now wears off and your feelings are red-raw

Lighting candles is a good way to help yourself right now - you can go to a church where there are candles - and/or - get some aroma therapy candles - they come with different aromas - and personally I have found vanilla helpful - but it is all a matter of preference

Please know that there are other people suffering too - and you are not alone in this dark place - you may not know how other people in your circle are feeling - not everyone wants to share their thinking

Also - to talk about it - there is Life Line all over Australia - and The Grief LIne in Victoria - I will see if I can find their phone number - and also websites for those who have survived suicide of a close friend or loved one

Also - this website is an excellent place to start your healing

You will be in our thoughts as you go through the ceremony and the following days and weeks -
