re: What have some of you done to help get over the pain of losing someone?

You will see him again someday on another plane. Death is as much a part of life as living is. Honor him by living the best life that you can. Life is change. Losing loved ones is a part of that change. Keep the memories alive. Cultivate positive ways of dealing with it. Drinking and numbing the pain with substances only makes it harder and prolongs you coming to terms with it.
