You cope with it by realizing life is uncertain.
You have empathy plus found out tomorrow isn't promised.
All of those we take for granted will be gone one day.
You do positive things. Be a good friend, child, sibling. Be compassionate and inclusive to people who are different, if you observe someone having problems fitting in, depressed, etc. notify someone who can help, don't bully and stand up for people who are bullied. Make a difference.
♥♥ ** Irrespective of age, we mourn for those loved and lost. Mourning is one of the deepest expressions of pure love. It is a natural response in complete accord with divine commandment: “Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die.” (D&C 42:45.) Moreover, we can’t fully appreciate joyful reunions later without tearful separations now. The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life.
This just happened to me too and I didn't know the person well. For the first day, it was all-consuming in our minds where I am staying. We were all experiencing what you are. It was surreal, but the following day was way better and the next day we were basically back to our usual selves.
