If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.

A Normal Life Process
At some point in our lives, each of us faces the loss of someone or something dear to us. The grief that follows such a loss can seem unbearable, but grief is actually a healing process. Grief is the emotional suffering we feel after a loss of some kind. The death of a loved one, loss of a limb, even intense disappointment can cause grief. Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross has named five stages of grief people go through following a serious loss. Sometimes people get stuck in one of the first four stages. Their lives can be painful until they move to the fifth stage - acceptance. Five Stages Of Grief
1. Denial and Isolation. At first, we tend to deny the loss has taken place, and may withdraw from our usual social contacts. This stage may last a few moments, or longer. 2. Anger. The grieving person may then be furious at the person who inflicted the hurt (even if she's dead), or at the world, for letting it happen. He may be angry with himself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it. 3. Bargaining. Now the grieving person may make bargains with God, asking, "If I do this, will you take away the loss?" 4. Depression. The person feels numb, although anger and sadness may remain underneath. 5. Acceptance. This is when the anger, sadness and mourning have tapered off. The person simply accepts the reality of the loss.
Grief And Stress
During grief, it is common to have many conflicting feelings. Sorrow, anger, loneliness, sadness, shame, anxiety, and guilt often accompany serious losses. Having so many strong feelings can be very stressful.
Yet denying the feelings, and failing to work through the five stages of grief, is harder on the body and mind than going through them. When people suggest "looking on the bright side," or other ways of cutting off difficult feelings, the grieving person may feel pressured to hide or deny these emotions. Then it will take longer for healing to take place. Recovering From Grief
Grieving and its stresses pass more quickly, with good self-care habits. It helps to have a close circle of family or friends. It also helps to eat a balanced diet, drink enough non-alcoholic fluids, get exercise and rest.
Most people are unprepared for grief, since so often, tragedy strikes suddenly, without warning. If good self-care habits are always practiced, it helps the person to deal with the pain and shock of loss until acceptance is reached.
GOOD SELF CARE HABIT would include.WALK,JOG,RUN,PUKE REPEAT.Bring fluid and eat well.Seriously.It works.

Guys .Please read this,this is very bad and it hurts even more when children are involved.
Honey let me tell ya.Might i suggest going to counseling with your boy.Church or thru work. Also remember this FACT.People that talk about suicide rarely to NEVER do it.Just something to think about.Looking for attention.
Tell him sometimes things don't work out.Remind him it's not his fault and go get some ice cream.He needs to see strength from YOU.STAND TALL while around him. You can deal with your hurt levels apart and away if you need to get a serious cry or ten out of you.Open hearted crying sucks.It reall sucks.
