Describe your feelings when you hear a loved one die.

When I had relatives that died, I just didn't care. I barely ever spoke to them, so their lives meant nothing to me. If my mother, father, brother, or sister died, I know I'd be mourning over them.

When my dog Blackie died back in the summer of 2012, I felt sad that she was gone and guilty/mad because I felt I could have done more for her. I still think of her on a weekly basis and she frequently appears in my dreams. 17 is such a long time for a dog to live. If she and I were to ever meet again somehow I'd apologize to her and see if the two of us could start over.

My grandmother died. I wasn't too close with her. I was apathetic to it. An old friend committed suicide two years ago. I was apathetic to it.

I generally didn't care. I'm pretty sure if my best friend, brother, and/or mother died I would be upset about it.

Combination of 2 and 4 but I did cry eventually, I just didn't want to cry in front of the person who told me, because I didn't want to make them feel bad

I was shocked. It was too soon. I was very sad and felt useless to the family. I wanted to help those who were close to my uncle but I didn't know what to do. I tried to remain calm and supportive for my dad while he grieved the loss of his brother. It was interesting to watch him go through the process. I am still sad about it a month later. It brings tears to my eyes to think I will never see him again. And it saddens me that I can't make it to the memorial.
