Just found out friend died last year from suicide

My friend was a massive alcoholic. Doctors kept telling her if she kept drinking she would die. Things were looking up she got a job had not heard from her for many months. Turns out she died almost year ago. I looked back no services were in the paper. She always stated that she wanted to die and that no one would care. Well she did die and unfortunately those who cared didn't realize she was suffering or dying. I have a weird feeling as this is way she wanted us to find out. It's not surprising to me that she passed due to drinking but she was only 25.

I'm so very sorry for your loss! I'm sorry you lost your friend to alcoholism. I have an ex who is an alchohlic but he is a closet drinker and refuses to see he has an issue. Only ones that can help them is their selves. May she rest in peace with the angels. That is so young to pass away.

Another sad epitaph to someone who could not stay away from alcohol. My condolences. Too often I hear of people passing due to drugs or alcohol addiction and I am saddened with a society that allows these things to happen.

I am so very sorry that your friend drank herself out of life. It happens all too often.

How are you doing?

Not well. One friend told me why I was so upset over her death as she doesn't give those people any mind. She also thought I told her about this last year. Umm no just found out about it even though it was a year ago. I know you can change people but when I get to heaven I hope she is at peace and can finally talk about why she didn't give herself a chance.

I'm sorry to hear this. It wasn't your fault you only just found out. It might help to talk to a counselor if you have one.

By all means, therapy can really help us come to terms with death.

I believe in God and an after life; I accept that it will be worth it, and that we will get so very many answers on the other side.

I'm really sorry Emmarose for what you're going through. There was a kid who killed himself in our town at the age of 21, and it knocked us all around more than I can say. Nobody saw it coming.

Thank you. Still having a tough time. I have always felt things deeper than most people. I don't know if therapy can help me also may be doing alnon. Really wish this was a dream but it isn't. Last night I wrote her parents a letter which my friend said sounded heartfelt. I also wrote her sister on Facebook to offer my thoughts even though it's been a year. I hope to hear back but I'm also preparing for if I don't.

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
