One thing I have noticed again and again is that at least two people make up every person. The first is the person that everyone sees. The other is that inner person who is who we really are. This is the person that very few people ever see, or even look for, but it is the most important because this is who we truly are. When someone we love dies, we have a tendency to bury the pain and hurt it causes and also our inner self along with the pain.
People react to death in different ways.
There are many ways people react, even when someone stays the same on the surface that too is a reaction because they are still changed within. So if you know anyone who has lost a loved one don t judge them to harshly. They may change, or they may not. It s just their way of dealing with the changes in their life. Just as the most popular person in school, who has everyone around them, may actually only want a few good friends around them.
