Sorry to hear that, as we get older things become worse because people around you will pass away suddenly. My Nan makes a hobby of going to friends funerals. She has a lot of friends. As a Jamaican christian woman i couldnt expect any less. The way to cope with a death of someone close, is to find closure. We could get a necklace or braclet, or visit the graveside from time to time, when we feel overwhelmed. Etc.
