How would you cope with this?

[hottyhere]

Imagine that you found out your natural father was terminally ill and you had been estranged from him for over 10 years he lives on the other side of the country. You get a phone call in the very early hours of the morning telling you that your father has cancer and not expected to live much longer you werent even aware until this Christmas that your father even lived in the same country. You drop everything and fly across the country to be with him for the last remaining days of his life. Organise his funeral and return. Upon the day of your return you find out that your stepfather has been in a boating accident and they cant find him. Your mother, stepfather and two sisters live in another country. They are searching but the search is called off until daybreak. Upon daybreak the bodies of two men are found. One is your stepfather. You hop on another plane and fly out to be of support to your family.

My question is how would you cope with all of this sounds very tragic to me.

[StoneTheCrow]

That is one of those situations where you just have to take deliberate breaths and go one step at a time or it will overwhelm you.I don't know how I would react for sure though.

[Amythist]

Hard to say. Can't predict my reactions.

[gigman]

You just cope with it like we all cope with our life situations. You never forget the ones that are still alive and important to you. That is what help you get through it all.

[Stormcrow]

Choke it back, and do what I had to do. Emotions are for my time, not when there is something to attend to.

[Amadeus]

Honestly, I wouldn't do much.

Never knew my real father, and my stepdad was an asshole. God speed his death.

Personally I think this is a tradgedy I say this cause this is the guy I have been dating here I am thinking he was an ass cause i hadnt heard from him but the point is we never know what others are going thru till they tell us. Thre were exetenuating circumstances why he didnt tell me and I now understand I was told by my ex its them or me so to speak he was the same as with his ex so did it he didnt have the relationship he should have had with his dad which is very sad but he got to be there in the end which is awesome. His stepfather was taken quickly he did have a great relationship with him so the poor man has now to bury to fathers in on week where is the justice in that.

Thanks Goddess wasnt looking for sympathy for myself its not a good situation for my man but hey it got me wondering how many other people go through this its never good to lose a loved one but when you have not had the time is bad and when they are taken from you quickly and you live in another country and not spend the time you want it hurts. I feel for him and his family.

It sucks when shit like this happens..but it`s even worse when it happens on your side of the tracks.
Makes you appreciate the little things a little more.

I couldn't imagine losing two father's in the same week, he has a long journey of healing ahead of him I'm sure that it won't be an easy road.
