I need advice.

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.

Funny how the truth usually is hard Smile

Why will it hit you so hard, and why do you want something to 'counsel' yourself?

Quote: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.

Good plan. I didn't think I passed, and then I posted pictures on a trans forum, and apparently I pass. And am going to be about the sexiest thing ever Wink

Quote:How do you cope with death?

Same way I cope with everything negative in this world (that is: the world): Laughter. Happy, cheerful, joking, jovial laughter.

Smiling. Kindness. Generosity. Being about the most positive thing in the universe. This song is my heart:

Favorite book, and favorite movie Smile
I knew there was a reason I was purple Thinking
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
