Gosh, sometimes i feel as if i have gotten nowhere after all this time. I lost my best friend of eight years to suicide three years ago and it still hurts just as much. I am such a wreck, i just don't know how to deal with it. I can't function without him, he was all i had. Does the pain ever go away? Cause i'm not sure how much more i can take. I don't want to let him go, i can't let him go. I need to keep him inside of me, i do. I just wish it wouldn't hurt me so damn much.
Sorry about your loss!
I don't know if time heals, but after a while it does'nt hurt as much.
It's been over 30 years since I lost my father at the age of 16, he was only 42.
Three years is a long time to be without somebody so important to you. But it's also a very short time when you expected to be there for eash other forever.
I think about my dad daily, I keep him with me constantly, he's always there in my thoughts and actions and feelings.
I feel as if he keeps tabs on me all the time, something like a guardian angle. It's a good feeling.
Keep ithins in persepective, he didn't leave you, he left all the pain and suffering he was going thru. I'm sure is he with you at all times, just like you think about him at all times. Remember that he would have wanted you to enjoy your life the way that he couldn't.
Keep him in your heart and mind, and live your life to the fullest, I'm sure he would be smiling down at you if you were able to enjoy everything around you the way he couldn't.
Enjoy your life for yourself and for him, let him live thru you. Be the best you can be and make him proud that you two were the best of friends.
I think my dad would have wanted me to be happy, and I try to make him proud everyday. Even though I feel the loss as if it were yesterday, I no long hate him for leaving. I just know he's no longer in pain. He's in my heart and memories 4Every&ADay.
Peace and Prayers, Rob
