How have you dealt with death of loved ones?
Yup. One my best friends killed himself in July. It sucks and not a day passes I don't think about him. He was something special. He had more friends at his funeral than family. I'm sorry it happened to your friend. How old was he?
Yes, it hurts a lot and it will for a while. You just have to go thru it and cry it out. Keep your memories of the friend; soon you will want to assemble them and have them around you. Can you prepare a eulogy for the funeral, even if you need to get someone to speak it? If you are spiritual, you can believe you will be reunited someday. I've lost a few over the years and the loss stays with you, but it does become easier to bear.
He was 34 and healthy. It happened so suddenly. The incineration is tomorrow, don't know how they actually work. If there's a service or just attendance. I don't know. I just hope I won't get to see the body.
i am really sorry hon. it is so hard to lose loved ones. your friend will always be with you in your heart serving as a reminder of how precious life is. keep your memories strong and and you will always be able to connect with your friend thru thoughts of all the ways he made you feel special and all the ways he blessed your life. in time the shock will wear off and even tho the pain stays, it changes and thru it you can grow.
my heart goes out to you in your time of grief.
My condolences, inferior wine. Losing a loved one is never easy. In my experience, only time heals all wounds. Don't block your emotions, deal with them, and move forward knowing that he is in a better place. Peace and Blessings to you, your friends, and your family.
I'm genuinely sorry for your loss. I know that no amount of comfort can make you feel better right now :( I watched my best friend OD and die in March 2011. It was the worst thing I've ever had to go through. I know this is a little different but it's still a loss. I wish I could say that it gets better, and in time it does start to hurt a little less but there are some days where I feel like I am re-living it all over again... I've gone through grief counseling and everything and I still hurt over her loss. <3 I hope that you find the strength inside to carry on.
I am so sorry for your loss
To Wine, Pixie and Kaley... I am very sorry to hear about your painful losses.
I can attest to the difficulty of losing someone close. When grieving, it's helpful to vent, share and ask questions... I've learned that this SW board is a safe place with many caring people who are honest, comforting and supportive.
I sincerely hope you all keep your chins up and move forward in a positive light. Time does indeed assist with healing.

I'm sorry for your loss. Middle of last month, a friend of mine took his life. He was only 39 too. I don't know how because the few people who do know won't talk about it-which makes me know it was especially bad. I feel terrible because I was due to visit him and hadn't got around to it. He had PTSD from being in the army and suffered depression but most of the time he was fine-he had taken his experiences and started up a support group for mental health-and was the pioneer of helping so many people sort themselves out, he was kind, funny, loving-nobody had a clue why he did this ultimately. There were over 150 people at his funeral, we couldn't all fit in the place!
I agree, don't try to not feel it all. Let your emotions out. It gets easier with time-and remember he would not want you to be miserable!
The ways that have helped me is to remember that death is only a small part of 'life'.
34 is no age, but if he was happy and enjoyed life and was loved, and had touched people's lives, and you can do something good in his memory, that can help.
I am sorry to hear about ur loss :( idk if u believe in any type of religion/ spirituality or not but when my friend died it was hard for me to believe in the better place idea because before that happened I didn't really give to much thought to whether there was a god or not. But now I think there is *something* after we die. I look for signs and things too. But it is going to be sad no matter what. It is the worst when somebody dies so young :(
So sorry to hear of your loss. It just takes time to get over a loss like that. Try to think of the good memories you have.
