How to cope with death?

Please don't post on Facebook as I just need to let off some feelings;This isn't really a question but more so I can let out some emotions
This year has really been a horrible start.. My mum suddenly passed away early in the year, followed by my childhood friend, a couple months later my grandfather and tonight we found out my husbands aunty passed away/, how do others cope with such grief in the space of months apart? I just feel numb and it took me a while to let go of my mums death and to get back on track as I was always crying myself to sleep. Life can be very unfair and so unexpected .. Trust me never hold grudges and keep ur loved ones close as one day it all comes to an end.. Death now scares me, I cant help but think I could be the next one to go ..
