My aunt died 5 years ago and I was very close with her.In fact our whole family is close with each other and my aunt( mums sister) loved me and my brother just as much as her own children. She absolutely pampered me and believed in me from my childhood. When she became sick I took career gap( high profile career) to take care of her as she was getting weaker and weaker due to some injections. I find myself crying every now and then if I even think about her or look at her picture. It’s been 5 years and it feels like yesterday. She was such a gem ( imagine loving sisters kids as much or even more than yours and doing everything for them). My whole family is tight knit so I am close with my cousins as well. She kept the whole family together and she was the light of our lives. I realised I am never going to get over her. I cried for an hour yesterday praying I get to see her one more time and get a tight hug. I don’t know if this has to do with anything but I get dreams frequently about her( but she is alive and mostly going through treatment). My question is do you ever get over someone’s death if you are close to them. Everyone said it will become better but at times I cry like a little baby looking at her picture. Sometimes I get crazy thoughts of going to someone who can talk to dead people ( I know I m crazy 😕)and see if I can talk to her. I know life goes on. Sorry for the long rant , I suppose I just want to get it out of my chest.
