Star Trek or related sci-fi stories, death of lovedones?

Star Trek or related sci-fi stories concerning death and the management of the stages of loss in death-cases of loved ones.

I read Solaris by Stanislaw Lem once, maybe such a kind of stories.

Yesterday my grand-pa passed away at the proud old age of 98 years. He always was and probably will be the great idol in my life. Now with more and more loses first my father, than grandma and now grandpa the loses seem if no less tragic at least bearable, when at the same time this events bring back the inevitability of my own passing one day. I choose the word passing because of my conviction in the concept of rebirth and the living on of the life-force and reunion one day. This gives me strength.

Thanks

Full Circle is partly about the Voyager crew coming to terms with Admiral Janeway's death.

My condolences on your loss.

This news was already spoiled for me on Memory Alpha/Beta and the recent Star Trek magazine, so you didn't do spoile this for me here. In end, I think I'll be able to enjoy Before Dishonor still. I know on other posts here folks have been careful not to spoil this news as some folks aren't "caught up" yet.

My condolences on your loss.

From me as wek.

My sympathies for your loss, Stefan.

A lot of the post-Destiny books involve characters coping with the loss of loved ones. TNG: Losing the Peace by William Leisner explores how at least two Enterprise crewmembers (both created for the novels) are coping with the loss of parents. My own TTN: Over a Torrent Sea has some exploration of this as well, particularly since I lost my beloved cat Natasha during its writing. I also lost my father last year, during the writing of my upcoming DTI: Watching the Clock, and there's some material in it that was informed by that experience. It should go on sale in around six weeks, give or take.

My first novel, Star Trek: S.C.E. - Wildfire deals with this theme, as do the next four books in the series (by various authors), which are collected in the paperback Star Trek: S.C.E. – Aftermath.

Thanks for all your condolences and thoughtful replies. I can remember reading “Full Circle” back in back in august 2009, a wonderfully written story. I’ll never forget the scene at the beginning/end of the novel, where Chakotay was waiting at the café/bistro and she never came… such a drama, first rate. TNGs relaunch series was superb, if a bit too dramatic for my taste, not the big near apocalyptic scale of events that forever changed the face of star trek’s landscape but that a man like Picard with such integrity, would have nearly broken… and has in parts seemed nearly too much.


I wish to express my gratitude to all of you and especially my sympathy for Christopher’s loss our first cat Montzi died after 19 human year equals 133 human years (Wow nearly a Vucan cat ;-) I’m looking forward to read “DTI: Watching the Clock”.
To David Mack thanks for your post, I must admit I only reed s.c.e. until 3 “Hard Crash” so far, must I read the series according the numbers? Currently I’m reading Star Trek: “Vanguard 4: Open Secret” I was reading the series in a row and I love it.

Stefan, you could skip ahead to Wildfire and not be too lost. (In the numbered versions, it was S.C.E. #23 and #24.) My condolences on your loss.
