I never thought I'd be the one joining a group of those who have lost someone close to them... and gosh... it does hurt.
So this week Monday I get out of school and as soon as I do, my best friend texts me telling me we have to go to Massachusetts. (My boyfriend [19] was going to college there and I live in NYC). My best friend is his health care proxy that's why she got the call. So she gets her mom and we drive to MA ( I still don't know why though) and we get to the hospital and they ask to see *my boyfriend* and that's when I realized he was in the hospital. He was on life support after suffering from an intracranial hemorrhage because of a suicide attempt. He stood on life support for almost 24 hours and my best friend decided to take him off of it and now... he's gone. It's only been 4 days and I haven't slept or eaten anything and I'm only 16. This wasn't just any boyfriend... he was honestly the best and it's like I can't deal being without him. I was begging and offering my life instead of his because he had so much promise and he would've done more than I ever can. It's just been crying non stop and I just sometimes wish I never fell in love so I don't have to feel this pain, but he's also given the best years imaginable and I honestly feel like being with him and I don't know what to do at all because I can't bring my self to talk to my best friend and my other friends know, but they don't know it was a suicide and I just feel like I could've stopped him and I feel so crappy and done with life. I don't know what to do anymore...

So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
Losing someone to suicide is devastating ..... It's going to take time and support to work through your grief
Another hug and a blessing......xo
I, too, feel like I can't go on without Derrick, he's the one I wanted to spend my life with. But I see the grief his passing has caused his friends and family, and I do not want mine to do that, and to be quite honest, that is what is stopping me. Find a support group, and talk to your friends. My friends do help, but I find Derrick's friends and family help me in more ways than my own friends can.
It will take time, but eventually it does become more bearable.
