I try and keep a straight face and show no emotion. Best to let it all out later when nobody is around and you have something nearby to cheer you up with.

Edited by Cicero J Faraday: 2/9/2014 7:44:38 AMI handle loss pretty well. When my father passed, longtime girlfriend broke up with me, and I had to move away from my hometown all last year, I held myself together. It made me a lot more callous, though. I'm still trying to fix that part of myself.

If we're talking about death, then the only person related to me that's died in my lifetime is my Grandpa, but I was too young to really be sad about it. I remember him quite well, and I also remember crying about it, but I was a little kid so I would probably react far differently if it happened today. As for relationship-ish stuff, I agree with you one-hundred per cent. I was super emotional about it, but I managed to keep it bottled up at the time. When I got home though, I felt like there was no emotions for me to display. I just felt a bit sick in my stomach, but I didn't feel sad or anything, maybe just a tad angry.
-
It depends on how close I was to the person when it comes to my immediate reaction. I lost my grandmother on my dads side of the family last year. It didn't really set in until the next day.

Throw the controller. This works in all instances. JUST. THROW. THE. CONTROLLER.
-
The only person I've lost is my Grandad, but that was when I was 4 or 5, so I don't know how I was after he died. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with losing anyone since.

Me hunt for food. Others die of blue death in the night. Me go hunting, catch tasty zap-jelly, then come back and bury them.

Everyone deals with it in their own way. What's important is you make sure not to suppress anything. Just do what feels right and natural to you as long as you don't hurt yourself or others. Me? I'm not sure what it is I do. I guess I brood mostly, and try to be there for people who are more effected by the loss. Some people need to talk about it, and I try to be the listener for them, which probably also doubles as a sort of "aversion therapy" for me; submersing myself in the feelings and the memories rather than allowing myself to ignore them in any way, shape, or form.

I never show emotion like crying. The only time I have is when my football team got eliminated from the playoffs
-
I didn't let any emotion out. Didn't cry, either, which surprised me. I always thought I'd be bawling or something, but I sort of just felt numb.
-
Pretty badly. I went through some rough times after my mother died, and it took me a long time to tell anyone how it really affected me.
-
Ignore it. Loss barely affects me at this point.
-
Surprisingly well, better than most for sure.

I've learned Hennessy and misery is one hell of a mixture.

This may seem attention seeking but I've been dealing with it all my life, lost alot more than I've won, eventually you get used to it and accept it
-
Very badly. Depending on the sort of loss, and who it was, I normally lapse into depression.
-
It's weird. If I know it's coming I sort of obsess over it and ways I can maybe, hopefully fix/stop it. When it finally happens I just sort of accept it.
-
Not very well, so much so that I'm going to hide this thread so I don't have to think about this kind of stuff...
-
BAAWWWWWW
-
Dunno never had someone close to me die. I have abandonment issues though.
-
I do my best not to show or feel anything until I can talk to one of my close friends.
-
I don't, the only time I had a loss was when my grandfather on my moms side died. I was too young to really understand, and I hardly ever saw him. My mom gets angry because I tend to not show emotion whenever my dad is in the hospital, but I'm more angry at him than anything because he's the one that puts himself in these situations.

Exactly
