What are your coping mechanisms when grieving? email this discussion to a friend?

While I was watching the movie We are Marshall (which is a very good movie and you should see it), one of the underlying plots was what people do to stay the same after a disaster. In this case, it was the death of the entire football team, cheerleaders, and athletic department personnel except for about seven people. I may not have to deal with anything like that, but I do have to deal with death on a regular basis. I have my own sanity preservation rituals when this happens. Not all of them are good strategies. Posting here is one of the more helpful ones that doesn't hurt me.

So I'm wondering, how do you myLotters hang on to sanity when there's nothing left to hang on to?

I beleive there is.....and always something and someone to hang on to when in grief and when everything seems hopeless. I am refering to God and prayer. I Believe in such a very hard time we all need someone to turn on to and I believe in God; I always prayed in times of trouble and i can attest that it helps. it gives me hope and courage to go on despite whatever pain I was feeling.
