Advice. Please.?
Hello. I came here to ask for advice. My great uncle passed away unexpectedly on July 31st, 2018. This was very hurtful because me and my family went to see him Sunday, July 30th, 2018. He has been through a lot from going to dialysis 3-4 times a week to getting both his legs amputated, but that did not stop his outgoing and humorous personality. He was the father figure I never received from my real father from the time I was born to when I was able to handle my own self (I'm 17 btw). He would always refer me as his "buddy". He didn't even make it to see me graduate (this is my last year in H.S.). Even if he be sick or extremely tired, he would use all the force he could to get in his wheelchair and come out to see me when we was over his place. I'm pretty sad and depressed over this. This Sunday is the funeral, and I don't know if I can handle it, but I want to see him one last time before he gets put in the ground. I'm generally a shy and introvert person, but now I'm even more shut in and my personality/mind is not how it use to be...

Sorry to hear of your loss. It may be the worst thing that every happens in life when we lose a loved one like that. So, it's going to be tough for a while. Best thing to do is stay emotionally open (which means open to the pain too) as that is how we process it through. It may seem like a mountain now, and it is, but it shrinks, bit by bit, especially when you allow yourself to cry, especially with someone else. You'll never forget him, but the time will come when he is a treasured memory, but in its place, like on the mantle of your fireplace. It won't always consume you. A year from now, you will be fine. Never the same, but ok. There was a great line from a cop show, Law & Order I think, and while it was only a TV show, it struck me as so profound - the guy lost someone, I don't remember, yes I do - Season 1 or 2 - when Max Greavey was killed - Logan had to go to a shrink and after several sessions he finally said "I accept it - but I'll never accept it". Right. You now have one of the major scars of life. People will see it in your face and respect it. And after some healing, you'll see it in others' faces too.
