um "How would I cope if my boyfriend died?" gee I dunno... how do other people cope with stuff like that?

Look, I'm not sure if you are aware that you just asked a bunch of random people how they would react if their husbands/wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/best friends died and if their reaction would be to find a new life partner or maybe search for someone to 'fill in the hole' physically for the time being.

No one really knows how they cope with death until they do and a lot of the time it depends on the nature of your relationship with the person and how they died... like of a terminal illness or from a car accident.
