Question by Tansey Taboka: I feel like this is the worst year of my life my uncle fell and passed away in Sandton on the 20th of February?
How do you get over loosing someone so suddenly? I never thought it could be so painful it feels like you’ve been stabbed in the heart. Death has been wiping people from this earth even before we were born but we will never get used to it .

I don’t think you ever do get over losing someone that was close to you. Even if you knew it was coming. The only thing you can hope for is that gradually, with a lot of support and trying to muddle through the best you can, life will start up again for you. Slowly, you will start to get more involved in the world again without realising it. Right now, you are in this little bubble of loss and sadness and you can’t understand why nobody else’s life has just stopped too.

It sounds like you really could do with having someone to talk to right now? Do you have any friends, falily, or counsellors around you? There is “grief counselling”, where it specialises in dealing with loss and also the long term coping strategies.

Whatever happens, don’t try to tell yourself how you “should” be grieving. Do what comes naturally, and don’t worry about the speed. Some people cry a lot, others don’t. Some want to talk, others don’t. Some people get over grief quite quickly, some pass through some stages quickly and are slower over others, and some people take their time throughout. All of these options are fine.

I’m sorry for your loss,
