I have always tried face the issue of death in a very stoic and temperance, ie moderating the excessive use of the senses, subjecting them to reason. It would certainly be difficult when it comes to feelings about family, and you find yourself surrounded by people plunged into grief and despair over the loss of a loved one, I know, but it is not quite impossible to cope. A coworker once told me that our feelings of sympathy for the death of a person depend on the degree of relationship we had with her, and this is evident, our reaction is not it against someone's death fully unknown face of someone known and within all the known is not the same if it was someone known simply hearsay say that against a friend or relative, let alone cope with the death of a loved one, that is, from our partner. 
The normal reaction to someone's death is known to all: tears and funeral, sadness and despair, all adorned with the relevant background to practice religion, but there are other ways to deal with it, such as in India, where they believe in reincarnation and not take it so seriously, incinerating the bodies with some parsimony and indifference, or in that corner of Tibet where the bodies wrapped in gauze and take them to a mountain to serve as food for scavenging vermin. Or remember the story (fictional or otherwise) of the Japanese film "The Ballad of Narayama", which accompanies the elderly close to death at a mountain, where they are left to die in peace. Or that Aldous Huxley's novel entitled "A Brave New World, where people voluntarily pulled a kind of well over a ritual, at the age of fifty years of age, and thus suffered no way even the infirmities of old age. For my part, one of the most moving scenes and compelling on the subject of death is portrayed by filmmaker Akira Kurosawa Japan in his film "Dreams" in 1990, the scene of the conversation between an old villager and a tourist, where The first speaks about death and the way he apologizes because he has to attend a funeral, the first woman he loved, music is heard in the distance and in the entourage, we see children throwing flower petals, a band playing a cheerful melody and dancers dressed in clothes of bright colors, an entire array of joy and life to say goodbye to death, is there anything better? ...
Ah! I forgot, all this came to mind because today at about 13:00 my mother died, was in the hospital for several days and was dying, and today we finally fired, obviously did not get my challenge Stoicism because as I collapsed one day in the hospital, and now back again, but now I feel more relaxed, has been on a spring day, everything is full of sunshine and flowers, singing birds and insects fly, plus has been at peace, asleep, unaware ... It's what to do: go through here as bystanders ...
