Default Love your loved ones!!!

We had a death in our family on Christmas eve, and it has been a very tough time to deal with this. This is by far the toughest time in my life. I'm the strong one but alone here with the computer I feel I can say that this is tough. My loved ones are in pain and I don't know what to do other than just be there for them. I'm looking for advice.

There's nothing you can do man but think of the good times that person had and be there for your friends/family.

My condolences.

Sorry for the loss, dont loose faith. Your family is counting on the strength you provide. They are lucky to have you to lean on during tough times like this. Just be there for them. We feel your pain and are here for you.

I'm sorry you and your family are going through this, especially at Christmas. Like the others said, remember the good times and be there for your family. I play the same role in my family and they look to me for strength. I know how it feels when you're all alone and need someone to lean on. It always helps me if I can ride a little, even for just a few minutes. Hang in there, buddy. My prayers are with you.

As one that has lost all my family older than me and wife as well.. You have more strength than you think. Be there for others and will be helping yourself as well. And Hate to use the old Cliches but they are true .. Time Heals and Take it One day at a Time.
