What is life like years later after someone close to you passes away?

[UberEatsDriver]

was on Facebook and saw a man with a pic of late son who died 15 years ago.


I know when someone close to you (friend, family) dies it stings right away but what are your feelings after 5,10 or 15 years pass?

Are you still bothered by the event where you will never stop being hurt? Or do you get over it to a point where it no longer lingers on your mind?

I’ve also seen people online say they forgot about so and so because they died so long ago.


Thoughts?

they show up in your dreams. you wake up and you think they're there. you have to remember again and again they're not. every day you remember things they'd say. you remember things they'd do. the dead have a funny way of not staying dead.

You’ll find out for yourself one day

Tough initially but, as with all things, the pain will dissipate.

Not a day goes by you don't think about them. Birthday,anniversary of their death . Little things remind you of them,for example if your loved one birthday was today whenever you see 6:13 it will make you think of them. You learn to live with it,it gets better by and by

Crazy how true this is. It's only been a couple months since my bro died and he's popped up in my dreams a lot. Sometimes it's nice but other times it's too freaky.

I took me almost 10 years to accept my big brother death.

He died when I was 11, he was buried on my 12th birthday, a Saturday.

I would dazed off into dreams and daydreams where he never died, like a whole continuous timeline that carried on for years.

Then one day the dreams stopped and it clicked that he was gone, I didn't do anything it just happened.

Guess I'm at peace now.

It gets easier. You are less angry all the time. You remember more fondly and less asking why.

They show up in your dreams.
You feel their presence in the beginning, less as time goes on.
Hearing they died breaks you in half like nothing you’ve ever felt before in life.
You’ll never get that innocence back about life that you had. Now you know your loved ones can get snatched at any time.
Seeing their body fukks your head up. You’ll never completely get that image out of your head. I sat alone with my brother in the funeral home for like 30 minutes and it still haunts me seeing him like that. He looked peaceful but he was too young to die. Makes me mad all over again writing this.
I moved on....before I had a blind rage about it...but I had to stop because I still had to live my life and go on but I’ve become a lot more cold and jaded about life and people. It ain’t right but I can’t help it.
