What helps is if u think about what good things that happenened to them when they died.  Like if they were sick or had a stroke or somthin' they should die other than suffer.  What also helps is if u relive the good moments that u had with that person or people.

Sorry for your loss! It's hard to decide what is good enough for a special family member during times such as these. I didn't write a obituary but I read to "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban at my mother's memorial service. Very beautiful!

The most tramatizing was two months ago. January 9 to be exact. I woke up 7 that morning to say good-bye to my dad and his brother, they were going to Atlanta for my dads dr. appointment. I went back to my room and like 10 minutes later I look out side and my uncles car was still there. I went back out in the den and my dad was on the floor.His brother or my uncle was doing cpr on him, about 30 minutes later the fire rescue and parimedics showed up. They worked on him for another 30 minutes and shocked him a few times to get his heart beating again, but it didn't work. I believe he died before the ambulance even showed up, but they didn't call it till he was at the hospital at 9:00 am.

That is close to a death in the family so don't rely on strangers to get you through this. Friends, family and God will guide you through. Take one day at a time...

I have no clue aside from finding where they kept their important files / papers / documents (car title, mortgage receipts, contracts, etc) and look  through them.\n\nUsually the closest relative has access to these papers.\nI would guess a slow painful manual search calling insurance companies giving them the name and address of the deceased may help, but would be as I said.., painfully slow.

you could consult public records for the city/town they were living in at the time of death, you could check church records if you know where they attended church

The service will be held on ____ at _____ church. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obituary\n\nGood luck!

If these people were dear to you, you can't expect to "get over it" in such a short period of time.  When someone we love dies, the mourning period could take a year or more.  The best advice that I was given after my mother died was to not try to rush the grieving process.  That way, when I ended up in tears, I knew that the healing wasn't complete yet and that that was okay.

I am so sorry for the loss of your sister and great grandson. How deeply heartbreaking. I lost my 18 yr. old daughter, Jill, in a car accident on August 2, 2002 and her birthday is coming up on March 14th. I have a memorial site for Jill and it has lots and lots of poems on several of her pages. Some of them are copyright that were written just for me and my daughter and others are not.  You are welcome to visit Jill's memorial site and especially look on her birthday and anniversary pages and you are welcome to highlight and copy them.  As long as they were not written exclusively for me and my daughter, you are welcome to use any of the poems you would like.  If you have any questions, or need further direction on finding poems, please feel free to e-mail me at peggyrose011058@aol.com.  God bless you and my prayers are with you, Peggy (myangeljill)

Well first of all let me say I am sorry about the death in your family.\n   If I were in a situation like yours, what I would do is make a photo album of all her pictures and everything that was apart of her life. Or I would plant a bush of her favorite flowers. \n   I hope this helps!!!\nGood luck to ya!

Typically, you need to be aware whether this person who dies leaves a will or not. Even if there are no immediate family memebers, people leave wills. If they die "as is", i.e. w/o a will, they die "intestate". Most likely, in such circustances, the local municipality/cour-appointed trustee will send the letter to the bank to release the info on assets of the deceased. The proceeds ( (if any)will then be distributed to pay-off state-sponsored funeral expenses/cremation...The left-overs will "go to the government coffers" -central banking units- until claims by rightful owners (that can sometimes materialize) can be made. There is a whole procedure for that - for the unclaimed bank deposits...It is regulated.

yes you should. Why? when a person dies the family is going through so many emotions and everything is a fog.  They are so hurt and sad and at times don't remember who all came to see them and it's not because they are being rude, they are just so consumed with not having the loved one there anymore.  So, yes you are doing the right thing and they will be very happy to know you care.

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can say in condolence to her.  Just let her know that you are there for her if she needs a shoulder to cry on, an ear to vent to, etc.\n\nThis is going to be a very trying time for her and her family, as such, she is going to need as much support as you can provide, if it is nothing more than cooking meals for her and her family for a few days until she can get her arms around this tragedy.\n\nIt speaks volumes that you desire to comfort you sister-in-law, she will need it desperately.

Life expectancy is very short; only a couple of months.  My brother died of Lymphoma last year.  I'm so sorry about your FIL.  Let him know how much you love and appreciate him now.  But be careful to make it seem like he has a death sentence hanging over his head, unless he has accepted his impending fate.  My brother wouldn't accept that he was terminally ill until he took his last breath.  He became very upset if we behaved like he was a dying man.  Take care.
