Hi Cancers

How do you deal when someone in your life passes on?
Do you need time to yourselves and to have space to deal with your emotions or would you rather have people who care about you reach out to you?

Death is definitely shell worthy...
We'd rather wallow in our own sorrow than to waste your time too
asking you to join us in our self-isolation...
Besides... when we want silence (usually the case when shelling) nobody will be around to break it.

I agree 100% . When someone dies - I hide. You can't find me anywhere. I honestly think it's because of the extreme emotion and despair that comes with it all. All of that energy can be a bit overwhelming too...

Cancers deal with everything emotionally. Cancer's way of coping with death of someone they love is very complex. They can completely retreat to mourn their loss. But the pain continues for quite some time even after they do become approachable. They tend to always carry a space for their loved ones in their hearts and their loss will never be compensated for, FOR quite some time.

Booze, music, crying, distraction, and time. I always need lots of alone time, but especially if I'm mourning. I haven't lost anyone in my immediate family yet, but I know I'll be an absolute wreck when it does happen.
