Someone in my family just passed away. I want to talk about life and death with someone but I can't do it without feeling horrible about myself, like I'm speaking in cliches and asking too much of the other person.

I don't know if this is who I think it is. Forgive me this once for assuming I'm right, but I want you to know you can talk to me anytime. I'm not the best conversationalist. And I don't talk about it much, but I understand what you're going through. Please don't think you would be imposing on me at all.

If this isn't the person I think it is, I wish I knew you too. But you should talk to someone. Even Campus Health will do. Don't internalize everything, though, you'll only end up hurting yourself more.

I know how you feel. It's though to lose a family member(my mom passed away 3 years ago.) Most people you know are willing to listen to how you feel even if they don't have any personal experience. Plus chance are there is at least one person who has experience losing a family member. It's just a completely unreal feeling I know that. I couldn't even cry until a couple weeks after she passed. For a couple years after there were times when I thought I would caller and then I realized she wasn't there. You'll feel sad at random times even if its just for a few seconds. It will get better with time but you will always miss that person. I hope you recover well and that you have lots of friends and family to support you. And remember sometimes these things happen for a reason even if you can't see that reason now. Like my mom's passing away brought me closer to my cousins and I'm good friends with them even now.
