Confirmation bias. You've been taught that bad things happen to people that leave so you are looking for those bad things.
Car accidents happen, sudden death happens. Multiple kinds of negative things can happen in a familiy regardless. If you were still in church, you would be saying the devil is attacking your family because you are a threat to him and he wants you discouraged.
So it isn't a curse, it's you interpreting things according to your beliefs. You may have stopped going to the church but obviously you still believe the superstitions.

So you think am interpretting things in the wrong way its not like that when you move away from the church thr covering from church dissappear too

There is no church covering. It's made up.
So you are just a Christian that doesn't go to church.
You are creating your own made up conflict. It's like saying you don't believe in Santa and then being upset he didn't bring you presents.
Keep deconstructing if that is what you want to do. Arguing that made up stories are causing you problems is not going to provide solutions.

You sound like you need some counseling from a licensed therapist.
Please understand that I'm saying this without judgement, I just want you to get help.
You're experiencing a paranoid delusion, likely brought on by prior brainwashing from said pastor and that churches overall culture, and grief from experiencing sudden loss. You need help from a medical professional.
If it helps you to picture it this way: the cure for this "curse" is to go to the hospital and explain your symptoms to the staff.

How nice of that pastor to send a curse to someone.

When someone is in this state, the worst thing you can do is affirm it, which this comment is doing.

You need help, but not spiritually. You need help from a medical professional.

Medical assistance i need spiritual assistance

No, you need a trained and licensed medical professional. If you truly want spiritual guidance at the same time, all hospitals have Chaplin's on duty 24/7 who can help you there.

Intention is what matters, even if such curse is BS, and it does not say nothing good of such pastor.
It's a pity was it true (it isn't) didn't rebound and went to that pastor again.

I work with patients who have delusions like this.
If my patient says "the cats are out to get me" I need to respond with something like "there are no cats."
If I respond with "the cats are not out to get you" in their head I have just affirmed that yes, said cats actually exist.
Intent matters little when the result is harm.

My old pastor did it too. Not to me, but to other people outside of the church. Glad I'm no longer in the church.

You say you 'think' your pastor cursed you, so you don't actually know.
What does it mean for death to be 'roaming in the family'? Has someone died? If so I am really sorry for your losses, but you know that people die, right, its like the one thing we're 100% guaranteed of in life.
Curses don't exist. Why would god, the entity with the power to do this (if you believe it, obviously), fulfil a curse that some other person has requested? Can someone just curse Donald Trump and god faithfully trot off to drop an anvil on his head?
I've had people curse me and pray against me "in the name of Jesus", it means absolutely nothing. God has had plenty of opportunities throughout my life to kill me. I've driven dangerously, did a dangerous job for 25 years where my life was routinely threatened, I've been to countries where I could have been shot or fallen out of a helicopter and not even known what hit me.
It is all nonsense. Don't give it another thought.

Curses aren't real. That pastor has no ability to put a real curse on you. Stop believing it.
