How should you feel when you watch someone close to you die?

You should feel the way you feel, and not how anyone else tells you to feel.  That's the only possible answer. If you worry about a lack of feeling upon this persons death, you must understand the psychological shock of such an incident.  It takes time to come to grips with it. If you were truly close to this person, the grief and pain WILL come-believe me.  The most important thing is not to repress it.  You must let it come, you must grieve, and you must deal with it.  Don't ignore it, or bottle it up.  Let yourself feel it.  To ignore it is to harm yourself, and disrespect the memory of your lost one. God bless, and my condolences.

When my children were born, that's a miracle.  When my mother died I was 50 miles away she kissed me on the cheek, whispered good bye and said she loved me and I felt an intense heat throughout my body for a few moments.  I pulled my car off the road and called my brother to ask about mom he said he had just checked on her 10 minutes ago and she was just fine, I asked him to please check again because I thought she was gone.  He did and the next thing I heard was my brother crying because mom had died.  There is no doubt mom visited me the moment she died.  Earlier in the morning she had told me about the Angel's that were standing by her dresser at the foot of her bed she said they were there for her.  As I brushed her hair she said they had come several times and they were back.  When I left to run home she was fine, everyone knew I wanted to be with her when she passed because no one should die alone and she knew that so she came to me, I have never forgotten and she gave me peace.

There's nothing wrong with you...everyone reacts differently. I lost a neice 2 months ago...i cried for maybe 2 days and then after that I kind of went on.....I also thought there was something wrong with me. You dont need to cry to mourn someone. Its best to remember them and laugh at the good times you guys had....remembering someone is also a way to mourn. So dont worry....your perfectly normal...and I am very sorry. My prayers go out to you and your family.

When you are not with this person, your heart aches.

Are you talking about death? If so you have to think about what is best for the person you love. Are they in pain? Will they be better off if they die? Do you want to keep them alive for you and not let them go so they can finally rest? Losing my grandma was horrible but it was best for her. Its hard to deal with and everyone deals with it differently. I grieve before and during the funeral. After I remember the good things and talk about the person. I still feel sad when I think about her and sometimes tear up but I know she is better than she was.

Yes; I'm pretty sure my grandfather is still with us, watching us. When I was little and was sick home alone, I felt someone give me a hug, but I was sitting against a wall. Then the TV in the other room truned on for a minute before turning back off.

you should watch a cemetery for a few days, When someone dies the ground workers dig the hole the night before the person who hole it is gets buried. Wait until night time, bring body and shovel. Dig the hole deeper, put your dead body in, cover up. The next day they will put the other dead person's casket over it. NO WORRIES!:)

People die when it is their time to go - there is a mixture of good and bad - in all of us - some of us show more good than bad, but others seem to be completely bad and they hide their good aspects.\n\nI am guessing that you lost a loved one recently - my condolences to you if you have.\n\nThat good person left a very good person behind - YOU - and you are not alone.\n\nJust remember all the good things that happened between you and keep those wonderful thoughts alive in your heart and soul - and that good person will never completely die as long as he/she lives in you.

It really depends on the beliefs of the individual. If they are religious, talk to them about their beliefs about the afterlife. If they are worried about how their actions in life may affect their disposition after death, recall for them (if possible) their good works and deeds. If they believe in God, remind them of the principles of divine forgiveness. If they're not religious, ask them about their beliefs. Reassure them of their impact on your life. If you're there at their bedside, I assume they've touched you somewhat, somehow.\n\nThis is not a time to hold a grudge. If you have a disagreement with them, try to forgive. Remember you will have to live with yourself after the other person is gone. Let them know you will remember them fondly. Recall good times with them to help ease their pain.

My father died because he was hit by a car (the driver was drunk) when I was five. I don't remember how I felt at the time it happened and I have no memories of my father which I find very sad. \nAn older sister of mine (I had 5 altogether) died 2 years ago due to complications after a simple operation. She left behind 3little children. \nIt's hard to describe how you feel when someone close to you dies. \nI think the worst for me was facing my sister's children. I know they can still have a happy childhood. I have very happy memories of my own childhood, so I believe they will be OK, but being with these little ones and seeing the pain and sorrow in their little faces, was almost unbearable at times. \nMy sister took a picture of her eldest girl before she died. In the picture my niece is holding a little rabbit and her whole face is brimming with happiness. There is not a trace of sorrow in her eyes. \nA year after my sister died, another picture was taken of my niece. It's hard to believe, that it's the same girl. She is smiling but the sadness in her eyes seems so deep, she looks so hurt and vulnerable, that it just makes me wanna cry every time I look at this picture. \nThe only thought that has been of any comfort to me, was knowing, that both my father and my sister, had a relationship with God.\nI believe they are with Him now and that one day, I will see them again.

Sounds a little fishy to me, however, if it is a close relative or someone they really cared about they might realize that person would be gone forever, and needed that time to deal with the reality of it all.  When my sister died I didn't want to leave her side at the funeral home because I had lost my best friend, and I was so distraught I wanted to be near her as long as possible.
