I am very sorry for the loss of your loved ones. It's very, very hard and I know for sure that time can heal only partually the wounds from such a loss. The pain may dull, but hardly disappears because these people have meant a great deal to us and after they're gone, no one and nothing can fill the emptiness. Take your time to grieve freely, this is the best painkiller. Don't try to hide it and don't supress it. Sooner or later, you will feel a bit better, just enough to move on. The goog memories and the sorrow - they will alway be there, it's inevitable.

You're welcome, I was talking from my personal experience. Heads up and don't fall apart, that's most important.

Well, sometimes we need to understand that there's nothing that lasts forever. Moreover, you should also know that these people that you love are in a safe place now, where God is the one looking out for them. You don't have to worry about their safety anymore. Where they are, I'm sure they're the ones worrying about your safety.

I'm so, so sorry Luisa. I don't think there is any way to speed up the grieving process. Time may not heal wounds entirely, but it dulls their edge.

All I can say is how sorry to hear your sad news.Try to rely on your friends for comfort.Make sure you eat properly,exercise and keep busy.Make sure you sleep well.Time will help you get over this terrible loss.Have you got any days owing from work.Try to get some rest and talk about it maybe to your doctor or priest.Take care of yourself.

It is really hard to lose someone we loved. I lost my mom becasue of cancer, 2 decades ago and until now I still long for her care, love and attention. I think, it is human nature to grieve most specially no one can ever replace that vacuum. I think, you need to share your thoughts to someone close to you. Pray for her soul. I think, in time, you will be able to accept the fact. Good luck.

I am really sorry to hear that... Yes it's true it is very difficult to accept the reality that someone in your life is gone forever. I experience it personally when my father passed away on August 2012. Until now, I am still crying and wishing he still alive so that I can hug him and tell him that I love him. It is so painful but that's life. What we can do is to pray to our Heavenly Father for the blessings of acceptance. I hope someday!
