i just found out that my uncle died. its very sad. i had not met him, because my aunt had divorced him before i was born. but i have seen him in videos. and my aunt stayed close to him via phone. but my cousin (his son) had heard the news first. and then i my aunt found out. then my mom. and me. i did not know how to deal with this. so i thought i would post it. i didnt know him. but i knew about him. i guess it feels kinda like a celeberty dies. bad anoligy i know. and i knew he was sick (cancer). but i was not expecting this. at least, not so soon. he was 57.

I'm sorry to hear you have had a death in your extended family. In spite of the divorce, I'm sure this is a hard time for you all.
wow that sucks...i kinda had a similar situation.
I met my grandpa once and only once, and then the next thing you know he died but at least i finally got to see him...
well, at least you have seen him maybe not in person but at least in a way you know him rather than not knowing him at all

Sorry to hear that. :cry:
Cancer is a nasty disease, takes people away when they're way too young. I hope you and your family hold up well. Deaths are always hard, even if you barely knew the person.

I know how it feels to lose loved ones..sharing memories with your family might help you heal. Memories are a way of keeping loved ones alive in your heart.

Hurt dosnt just come from the loss of a face to face relationship with someone. Just hearing a familiar name peppered throughout family conversations / seeing pictures over the years and all the sudden that someone passes away is all it takes for hurt to happen. Another familiar brick in the wall seems to be taken away. this makes things seem unstable and it seems to upset the foundation of what youve been use to.
Don't worry... this stuff will pass. you wont completly forget your loss but, it won't be so wierd after a while. i'm sorry for your loss dude.. i hope both you and your family feel better soon.

I heard some great advice once:
Why do we fall?
So we can pick ourselves up.

my grandfather once told me that good people die young because god needs their young strength and good spirit in his fight against satan.
I don't mean to get religious but that really made a lot of sense to me.
he told me this when my 16 year old cousin had a hemerage and his brain exploded while we were out shotting bows and arrows in the woods.
my uncle called me on the phone during his heart attack and knowing I knew my uncle was in trouble but couldn't do anything really sucked.
I come from a big family and I see people die at least once a year. I'd like to say you get used to it but you never really do.
If saying anything more than sorry could help you feel better I would do it.
just stay strong man.

I've been there, because the only people I've known who died were not very close to me. I was there the day my great grandma passed away, she died about 30 minutes after we left her house, but I didn't really know what to feel because I didn't spend much time around her and she wasn't very clear minded all my life.
Also a teacher died a week after I met her, so I really didn't know what to feel then, she was a nice lady and very pretty.. and she killed herself. So.. yeah.. that was awkward.. I mostly felt bad for her students.
