i was with my aunt when she died, and as i do not believe in 'heaven' or 'hell' it was quite sad to think that she just 'stopped.' it's sad to think that all of her memories were just *poof* gone, but i can't really see anything else happening. how to deal? i make sure that i talk to my mom and my gram and my sister and my dad every day, and i make sure that i say what i need to say to them, and i make sure that i act in ways that will make them feel loved and needed by me... and i remember that my aunt was one classy lady who called often, and that she always had a story to tell, and that she always made sure that i knew when she was thinking of me... i guess i'm an 'accentuate the positive' kind of person.
