Friend's Suicide

Develop a new meaning for you about your firend's death. One that impowers you and gets you to do great things with your life.

 

Just stick close to family, and friends. and pray, God will help you come through this with a better outlook on life.
Its ok to cry, it is part of the healing process.

I had a friend in high school, that did the same thing, and i used to think, why would he do such a thing, but now i realize that he is probably in a better place now.

 

I am so sorry to hear. Don't try to put on a brave face and act like it doesn't bother you. Like others have said man there is no shame in crying and talking about it.

 

Ever notice its the people who never talk about doing it, And the people who talk about doing it never do it?
I had a cousin hang himself a bunch of years back, Always a smiling guy, Never had anything bad to say. Never would have thought he would do it in a million year.

Sure it leaves a lot of unanswered questions, It's a disease they say.
I just try to celebrate peoples life, Not morn their death.
Some people say your fate is chosen before you are born, well i give thanks that if there is a master plan, and point A and B are predetermined I was included somewhere in that persons life. And got to know them.

 

Wow...some amazing stories in this thread. I feel for each and every one of you who lost friends. I have lost several acquaintances and one close friend to drug overdoses / accidents. It is tough at first but gets easier with time.

I don't know what you do for a living but there is no shame in crying. To relate, I lost my grandfather last August. At the funeral, I tried so hard to hold back tears because I didn't want my cousins and family friends seeing how weak I was. I later thought how stupid that was.
Last week, my Grandmother passed away. We had her funeral two days ago (Monday) and I did not stop my eyes from tearing up over the loss. I actually felt more of a man as I looked at my cousin and wiped a tear from my eye.

I'm so sorry for your loss and I am sure you will move on in life and learn from this terrible situation. It's important to love the ones around you - while they are still around you.

 

Stick to your friends, and family, they are the most important thing you have and they will help you out most. I had a friend that died in a car crash and it was hard for a long long time. Time will heal pain, although its been almost three to four years now and it still hurts but things will get better. Learn from your losses and remember this in the future. You never know when things like this could happen again.
You, and your friends family is in our thoughts and prayers.

 

Prayers go out to you, and his family.
If you need to rant, vent, or bitch do not hold back.

 

Mike i'm so sorry, I lost my best friend back in high school to a drunk driver...I know your circumstances are different but I felt the same way afterwards...NUMB! Don't ever feel weak because your in mourning...its natural! I don't know what else to say besides stay strong and if you need to vent, we're always here bud

 

Hang in there. It is not a sign of weakness to talk, quite the opposite actually. My wifes friends husband shot himself last fall, it was extremely traumatic and unsettling.
We got by with lots of talks and memories of him and us. We were and are super suportive of his widow, and still by talking seems to help the pain a bit.
Its not easy, but I think by sharing your thoughts and listening to others whether on here or with friends is going to be your best advice.
My heart and thoughts are with you...
All the best.

 

death is never an easy thing to deal with, not when its someone close to you. hang in there and keep looking ahead. you will pull through.

my gf has had some similar experiences. it was really hard for her to deal with and still bothers her from time to time, but time is working its magic and it is getting easier for her. she tells me when she talk to me about things like that it makes it much easier. almost as if it takes a weight off her shoulders.

i did not know your friend, but may he RIP. he was not happy with his life for whatever reasons (thats none of my business), but he is in a happier place now.

like i said hold your head high and talk to loved ones if you need to, dont let this consume you. you will come out with a better outlook on life.

best of luck man i feel for you.
