To me, the death of a pet and the death of a family member and the death of a stranger are completely separate concepts. Even when my mother was ill, I wasn't very emotional or upset by it.

I guess humor was how I dealt with deaths.

not sure. im distant from it alot. and i try not to look sad or cry. i hate tears. never will cry (anymore) hopefully.
Im sorry ur hamster died. :( *hugs*

I get over it...there not coming back

My friend's cat died a few months ago, the cat was 22 O_o and had been with her family since before she was born so it hit her pretty hard. She told me about her cat a lot and she got a bit better.

And let me see...When my hamster died I cried a lot (8 year old me) but got over within the week.

i'm very sorry for your loss. i have lost a lot of pets. i cried and got over it, you know? i hate death, it's sad and frightening! but i deal with the death of pets by wallowing in sorrow for a bit and moving on with life. if you have people to comfort you, it helps. you didn't see the bones did you?! that would not be good...i would have gotten sick, i'm a bit squeamish about that stuff...you poor thing...i feel your pain, i've lost a lot of pets.

It's part of the life cycle. It doesn't mean it doesn't suck when someone dies, but it happens every day. If someone I know dies, it has no real impact on the world, so once the funeral's over, I do my best to move on. But when it's actually bothering me, I talk to people, like I do with any problem.

Well, death happens. I've delt with alot of death on my mother's side of the family, and even though its really upsetting, you learn that it was going to happen eventually. I just cry until my tissue box is empty, and I drink alot of pop and eat nothing but cookies. T^T I'm a very sad person.

Well I was going to give you advice because my father died this year.
I have learned to accept it,but I am still mad.

it really depends, i only accept death for those who actually enjoyed their lives and made somthing good of it.
i dont accept death when when their lives has been nothing but suffer, and they should get a second chance to make things right.
lives should not be a cruel, unhappy place to live in, i think. but people make it that way. there are lots of good and evil in this world..and death, should be a chance to look at life a different way. maybey a second chance to be reoborn. mand a second chance to makle things right.

I don't deal with it... I simply cover my eyes and say, "I CHOOSE NOT TO BELIEVE!" That's how I became immortal. :sarcasm:

I get up on the appropriate morning, find something black to wear, go to the funeral, go to the grave site, do a lot of praying, and then go home. (And repeat as often as necessary.)

I wish the next one wouldn't come any time soon, but... no such luck. I think the relatives on one side of the family are lining up like ducks for it. I think there's about 3 who are well on their way out. ~sigh~

You have to give yourself a chance to mourn, but also remember that you need to move on eventually.

Look on the bright side, that you were ever around that animal at all.

I do not do well with death. This would actually be my biggest fear. I have panic attacks which includes me stopping all breathing and going into the trance of saying 'I don't want to die' over and over again.

My boyfriend is the only person to have ever see me through a panic attack and not say, 'You wanna go get meds for that?' when I tell him about them. He's also able to tell when one is developing or in progress, because I actually get them quite often.

I usually cry if it's someone in my family. I guess it's because they are family and it comes as a shock. I normally don't if they aren't close or related you know.

When my dad died I held it all in then one day just cried for hours.

When it's other people, that I care about and love, I have a very hard time trying to deal with it, but I have accepted that I am gonna die, it's just the others that can't DX
