Hey guys.
My grandmother is very sick and the doctors are saying she may die soon. My very religious mother is telling me she will be at peace, and that she will be with her mother again, her husband and her dog. I don't believe in a god, I don't believe there is any force at work in the world, but the idea of just ceasing to exist, of just fading out of existence is hard for me to accept.
I'm worried that Grans death is going to hit me like a ton of bricks, I want to be able to draw on something to counsel myself.
If I was religious like Mum, then I would consult my holy book and speak to a respected figure of that religion, but I don't believe, so I am asking the nearest thing, a community of like minded people.
How do you cope with death?
