One of the reasons I like Star Trek so much is because of a saying that I once heard that really does apply:
“Everything you need to know about life, you can learn from Star Trek.”
So I quote a line from one of the movies, one of the better movies emotionally:

“How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life.”

Society tells us how we are supposed to feel about death and it’s fundamentally wrong. Yet, we can’t help doing it some degree or another until we have learned that is wrong. You start to go about life after loss, try to slip back into your normal routines, you do things that make you feel good, make you feel happy; and then they make you feel sad, you feel bad that your happy when you think you should be sad. Why should you be sad, why should you be sad for having known someone, been close to someone, been a friend to someone. Would they want you feeling sad about them, or happy? I’m no psychiatrist, and don’t have answers. This is the first time I’ve seen someone close to me, truly close to me emotionally, deal with loss and so I don’t know how to deal with it. Am I saying the wrong thing, doing the wrong thing….I don’t know…It’s very hard for me to type this out. These are my feeling and my thoughts, and yes this is the supposed purpose of this web site. My thoughts when I enter them here are not always complete; they are more like my way of trying to work things out sometimes. Unfortunately the person I am speaking of, reads this blog, or maybe it’s fortunate…I don’t know…and I’m afraid of the unknown…

Its ok…to feel good, it’s ok too feel bad.
It’s ok to feel.
