can you help me?

Hard without any context, but probably something like this:

When someone dies, he or she is gone, not thinking, not feeling, not reacting anymore, so it doesn't really affect him or her. The effects are felt by those people who are still alive, who have to deal with that person not being there anymore, the effect it has on them emotionally, if they were close, the disruption of the web of emotional, familial, social, and economic relationships that that person's absence causes.
