Dealing with Personal Tragedy

[Taffy]

I rarely post, preferring to "lurk" and enjoy reading what you guys have to say.
But, I'd like to ask you a genuine question. Have you guys ever had to deal with a personal tragedy?? If so, what motivation or inspiration did you use to stay in touch with life until you were ready to resume your normal day to day business??

Sorry if I reopen any old wounds for any of you.

I hope things are okay with you.

My grandmother died last year, October, 2000. I mourned for like, a year.

I changed my lifestyle, in response, and devoted a significant portion of my life to weight training and eating right.

So bb'ing is how I dealt with it.

RE

Ive had many friends pass away, a few family members too, and eventualy you learn to accept the fact of death and realise that no matter how much you cry the person will never come back.

Keep your faith in God, it always helps to keep you going )

BTW: Youve left a big lump in my throat now just talking on the subject
