A friend of mine just lost a close friend to pretty tragic circumstances. It made me realise how damn tricky death is to handle. Many of my friends are all reacting in very different ways.
Whilst death is a huge part of life and it is something that everyone deals with, it never gets any easier to handle. I have lost someone extremely close to me, and I went through a long stage of denial and conflicting emotions. It was probably the single most confusing part of my life. It almost feels like the human brain can't comprehend death. Which is strange, because death is just as much a part of life as life itself is. You would think after the long period of our existence, we would get better at dealing with it.
So, Escapists, how do you handle it? Do you believe getting over a death can be rationalised, or is it a solely emotional journey?
Tell me your thoughts!
