I was sad, of course, when my grandparents died. But each of them had been sick for some time so in a way it was a relief. I mourned them for a while but eventually your life goes on, except that occassionally you think to yourself "I wish xxx was here" or "zzz would have really liked that."
It was harder when I was about eight or nine and two of my friends died; one from a particularly bad strain of chicken pox and the other was hit by a drunk-driver. I just went into denial over them and it took me ages to come to terms with it.
I don't know how I'd deal with anyone in my immediate family dying. Especially if it was a sudden, unexpected thing like a car accident. I worry about that all the time; it would really crush me for that to happen.
What I actually find most difficult ATM is when someone dies was close to a friend. I never know what to say to someone who's in mourning - I tend to put my foot in it and say something tactless.
