How Have you processed death?

Death to me, is a very sad thing. Once it's here, it's here. There are no long drawn out sad goodbyes. No last kisses. There's no doubt that it feels sad not to hear the voice of someone you're fond of. The bottom line is, I didn't get emotional. People commented frequently on my 'strength' and I remember feeling like a fraud. I've always told people "What you see is not strength, it is simply a person who has no idea what else to do."
Reading what you say, I'm going to say something I don't say to strangers. I connect with you, I love you, and if you lived nearby I'd offer an immediate dinner and a beer, and a big hug.
I'm sorry, you have face some things I would probably go insane over.
Thank you. It's all been a BIG hurdle, I've learned a lot of things about people, and what's important to me. Two things that up until now, weren't very important to me. All of these things, along with of course, my son, have kept me moving forward. I am a type 1 diabetic, and I smoke cigarettes... so my son's face, and all of his challenges, are a great reminder to me of all the things "I" need to leave behind to be remembered, ....over and over again I'm sure.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
