You are right. Nothing is the same. But you have the ability to make it OK. This is not a burden, but a gift - you have the ability to live out all the dreams your friend could not. You have the ability to tell others about his amazing life. You were blessed to know him and share his short life. That makes YOU special.

I agree, nothing is the same. I doubt that it will ever be. When I am thrilled over something, I think of our Joe and the thrill is tempered because I would prefer having him back over having the thrill.
We are wounded forever. We can't forget.
We will never be the same. We shouldn't even try to be.

Only a person who cares and has a good heart would ask those questions of life. We don't get too many answers in our time on Earth, but I guess that's why life is called a "journey." In my time I have seen countless horrific things. But I've also seen some things that might as well be called miracles. Through all of it, I now know that being a good person to those around me is what makes any difference at all. And it's not a big, earth shattering difference, but it's all I can do. Don't give up on caring about your friends. Honor your loss with that strength.

I think suicide has nothing whatsoever to do with those of us left behind- they aren't "leaving" us, they're doing the only thing they think will allow them to escape excruciating pain. The fact that we care is not always enough to save them. Does it cause us pain? Yes, but is our pain more valid than theirs? We can't have them back, no matter how deeply we wish it- but we can remember them fondly and with affection and hope they're feeling better now.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
