Vector, you've still got every kind word she had for you, every ounce of belief she ever had in you, every gesture of love and respect that earned her the connection you miss now. The person she was has, in some measure, been burned into the person you are. You'll always have more than just the memories - whatever strengths and feelings she's given you are a legacy you don't even need to exert yourself recalling. Might be cold comfort compared to a living soul, but it's something, I hope.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Talk to someone about it? One of us, a therapist unrelated to your school, your girlfriend...

I wish I could offer you real help, but I only have the internet...

:-\
Reminds me of when we lost my grandmother--being adopted here, it was an even greater blow to me. She made me feel like family a ton before I realized that it was the same thing all around, just that it was 'more evident' with her, among many many others.

Crying about it is ok. Wishing for her back is also ok. What's not ok is to leave that wish as if its an anchor in you, as it'd...(mmph, what's the word >_<), corrode(?) your feelings from the inside.

Here in the Philippines, we (generally) believe that we can honor and further a deceased person we love by acting and emulating, following and understanding what they did, for others--especially those who meant well to them. Spiritually, its a sentimental note to them saying 'hey {loved one}, I miss you. But this is what you taught me and...thanks so much.'

Mutual benevolence and such.

Still, *much hugs to you*. It's not a thing to move on 'quick' or 'easy' or any of those strange adjectives which seem misplaced in these contexts, but in the long-run of things, they've done good--and that's what matters. The memories matter as much as the acts, in this place.

She's gone in the physical, yeah. But she's not really truly gone as a whole--she lives on in your memories, and thoughts are a myriad blessing on how they come, if from a loving and good source.

...Technically, that's a coping mechanism, but that technically (when I asked to my grandfather before he..followed in turn..) was usually handwaved as being 'too different to translate into Tagalog', or rather 'it doesn't catch the idea. "Coping" doesn't feel in the right place'. It's like something better ._.

Don't give up, mate. The end of the line is when you start giving up on things, yourself. It's always an intangible line until your choice is made. (Meaning: It's never a permanent choice unless a permanent action is made :-\ which is something I'm not suggesting.)

Excuse my messy wording back there though. Sickness does my semantics no good. Though don't give up--we aren't giving up in believing you can do these things and support yourself. There are people over there who can help, and are capable of helping, but reach out to them and talk to them is my best note here ._. Depression is very well lessened when in good company.

For the past few weeks I've done nothing productive at all! Dx only games all day, and some gym on the side.

I want to do a programming thing but I don't know what to. The things i were doing before don't interest me as much anymore...

Sorry for your loss. If you really want the above, I'll go get the shovel, but I don't think that's the best way of coping.

In my own sad, I just looked at my schedule and realized that MTWF, my classes end at 5:20.

If the suffering of others helps, mine end at 9:00 MWR.
