How have you dealt with Grief?

Grief, is a noun defined as deep sorrow, especially when its caused by someones death.  Recently I lost my Uncle the thing is he was more than just an Uncle to me.  This loss has stirred up all kinds of emotions that have lead to deep supportive conversations with my friends aka my support system.  I felt this feeling twice before losing my Grandparents but the only thing about that is I lost them one at a time and had two others when I loss my Grandmother.  Fast forward after my Grandfather past I had my Uncle Earl but recently he went on to join the others.  This is a devastating blow to me.  What are  some of the ways you have moved past losing a loved one without letting depressed get the best of you?
