    Thumbs down Dealing with death in family

    Yesterday my 2nd cousin was mistaken for a moose and shot down while hunting. He was only 27. We were really close and we used to hunt together and play darts. We live in a small community (500) and everyone is just rattled over this. Im having a tough time as well. What do you guys do when dealing with something like this?

    I feel for ya, my dad just died las' Saturday, and my Grampa a couple months ago, hard to know how to deal with it, so hey bud, chin up. What we selfishly don't realize because we miss them here, is they are really, really happy where they are at now. We should be jealous they are were we will be before us, lol.

    Family is important, especially at times like this. Be there for your remaining family, out of this tragedy can come a greater sense of unity among them. A loss of a loved one is always tough, and the grieving process in natural, so give yourself plenty of time, and work through it one day at a time. The 3ww family stands behind you.

    Sky Pilot said it best. Pray. If you are not a religous man, then rely on your family and friends. You need to be strong and be there for them as well. Sometimes tragedy brings forth good things. My condolences to you, your family and all affected by this tradgedy.

    The man that shot him will most likely be affected by this for his whole life. If the hunter was wearing Orange, someone got trigger happy.....

    I am so very sorry about your loss. I have a few close friends and if they died or my parents, I'd be more of a mess than I am now.

    Time heals all wounds but sometimes it takes a LONG time.......

    He was not wearing orange, just camoflauge. Our group of hunters never wear orange. We certainly will now...

    In my family, we have a huge drunken wake and celebrate their life.
    Last one was my 95 year old grandmother.
    Before that was her younger brother a WW2 and Korea vet.
    You always miss them, but lean on family and focus on the joy they brought to your life.

    Keep him in your daily memories and do things that you liked to do with him as a tribute. Know that you are loved by him, still to this day.

    My mom passed away last November and at certain times, it will just hit me like a ton of bricks. But I can't go back and change things now.

    I do things that my mom would have done if she was still here for my daughter, son and wife as well but do not come out and directly infer that. Funny though that when I do something like this, my wife oftentimes looks at me and says "Your mom used to do that."

    Know that he has played an important role in your life and has helped you become the type of person your are today.
