How to deal with fear of loosing your loved one ??

[Gemini]

First, let me tell you a story. At 17, I met this truly amazing guy and fell hard. Yeah, I was young, but it all just seemed so right. We'd been together a year and a half when he got this amazing opportunity to spend a month aboard a research ship studying pilot whales. He was a little older than me and training to be a marine biologist.

Two and a half weeks out, there was a horrible accident. There was an explosion in the engine room and the ship caught fire and began to sink. He was killed.

What did I do? All the predictable things. I spent a long time feeling lost and heartbroken, depressed and moping and writing really bad poetry. poetry. It took me a long time to pull myself together.

I hear people say that if you're worried about something, think about the worst possible thing that could happen if your worries come true, and the nthink about how you'd deal with it. There are no certainties in life. Sad things happen. [MENTION=24023]Sevendust324[/MENTION] gave you the best possible advice. Work on yourself and on building a community of friends around yourself so that there'll be people who have your back when the hard stuff happens.

I survived. I'm happy in my life. It sounds trite, but life goes on and things get better. All this being said, I hope you guys stay together and stay happy.
