Having a tough day. Just got home from a funeral

Having a tough day. Just got home from a funeral. Someone I've known all my life taken way too early. (cancer) I think about the duality of existence. We are both so resilient and so fragile.
Then there's the whole, where do we come from, what shall we do while we're here thing and then the whole universe goes swooshing down into a philosophical birds nest of mess...
I thought my brain was supposed to work for me. It seems I'm always in a debate.

Oh the brevity of life.
My condolences to you and those involved.
What ever you do... don't drink over it.

Sorry for your loss
Those are big questions, write about them, debate them but don't drink

My condolences to you. I just lost a friend on Tuesday suddenly. Life is so unreal at times. We all ask ourselves many questions. I have started journaling to reflect.

I'll second that, I've drank over grief many and it only made me feel worse when I woke up. So sorry for your loss.

I lost my son nine years ago and I wanted to know why him ..why me...why heal others and not him?? I was angry for a long time...angry at GOD. I finally had to let go of the need to know why because I won't know till I face HIM in heaven...and trust me I will ask....but for me to keep living...and I know that's what my son wanted for me...I had to let go...since then I've reconnected w GOD and am In daily continual contact w him....90 days sober which is a miracle in itself...that's only possible because GOD never leaves us...he quietly waits for us to ask him into our lives and when we do that...the healing begins...it's been a ride.. this life of mine....I'm finally at peace and only by the Grace of GOD.

My condolences but it gets easier with time :pray: my mom died 35 years ago and it still feels like yesterday. I was mad at God as well and I grieve so bad it took everything away from me even bing a mom. Then came the drugs and alcohol. It becamey mom for a very long time . I depend on it to take care of me and make me feel better.But know I came to depend on a power greater than myself and now I know my mom was sick .It makes me feel better to know she has everything new and it makes me happy to know she is not sure.I think about her every day and some days are easier than others but alcohol and drugs were all only cause me to loose myself again. I'll be praying for you friend but it does get easier to Live with in time :blush:
