Hi everyone,
Just wondering what happens to peoples families after they ctb. Wondering what they go though, not trying to guilt trip people just want to know so I can try to get over it.

It would most likely depend on the person's relationship with their family.

Families who genuinely care for the individual will definitely grieve their passing, though grief can take on different forms. Some might wonder how the person got to this point and what they could've done to stop it. Others might fall into a deep depression, turn to alcohol or other substances, join a community to talk with other grieving families, give themselves more work, etc.

Meanwhile, families who don't care will probably be actually indifferent and not care. Either that or celebrate the person's death.

There will be a lot of grieving. Each family member will grieve in their own personal way, and you can't control the way they'll grieve. Due to the nature of ctb, you won't be able to give them emotional support while they grieve, but there are things you can do to make the grieving process slightly easier for them, such as being sure to tie up loose ends before you go, and leaving letters to show that you cared about them

The way that I see it, many people will likely be upset and grieve if they were close to the person but if someone was to ctb then how others react is simply not their problem as they won't be there to see it. The fact is that grief and loss are simply a part of life and we are all destined to die and lose everything someday and eventually we very likely won't even exist in the memories of those who continue to stay here, it's just the way that things are. And if people don't wish to lose others then they shouldn't do the selfish and unnecessary thing of choosing to procreate in the first place.

Mourn then move on

My mom grieved heavily for 2 years. Then she moved on. I never saw any emotions from my brother really. He shed a few years when we were planning the funeral but that's it. He was both of our primary abuser growing up. My dad came in for the funeral, asked to borrow $100 to get back, and haven't heard from him since. He bounced when we were kids.

Suffice it to say I'm not terribly worried about how they will feel when I join my little sis.

They will be ok, might even expect it, there will be a load of community support for sure. My brothers will go on to have families of their own, my parents will involve themselves in their lives as grandparents. All will be well.
