some of you know about his suicide and the fact that he was one of my best friends. Its been almost a month and I miss him so much. Everything seems different.

I dont have much to say today, except I really really miss him

I am sorry for you it is particularly hard to deal with such a senseless loss. Suicide is such a selfish act and such a desperate one.

Of course you miss him.

You will always miss him.

But it will get easier.

have you been to the funeral mstg, i lost someone to suicide, its such a strange feeling.

lulumama · 03/09/2008 18:43

it is such early days. if someone was a big part of your life, and tehy are suddenly gone, and in such a terrible way, then you need time to process it. take time to remember the good times and the fun things you did together too

I know all the "cliches". I try and remember the good times and it just hurts even more.

Funeral was just wrong. Was crap in fact. Not funny, impersonnal and awkward. His wife was there with her bitch of a friend. Im suprised I didnt kill her tbh.

I got roaring drunk and got in at 7 in the morning.

I dont think I will get to see his girls again and that is heartbreaking. My phone is oddly quiet too.

Nothing new to say really. Nothing new at all, and I suppose suicide of a friend is not as important as the natural death of a spouse or parent or child.

Anyway. Thanks for listening x

of course it is important. there are no rules about how upset yuo are allowed to be. a man took his own life, you had no warning , and you have a void in your own life now. you have every right to be devastated

have you considered cruse bereavement counselling?
of course it is as important to you. death is intensely personal , no 2 people , even siblings will have had the same relationship with the deseaced.

I had counselling about the death of my grandfather, whom I nursed at home until he died of lung cancer. But this seems so different, so surreal, so wrong. Unnatural.
its ok. im fine. Just needed to get it out. Im ok now. Honest. Thanks.

I remember your thread. I was really shocked.

I'd only 'seen' him a few times (and liked his style)

It's very early days. Are you in contact with any other of his friends or family members?

mufti · 03/09/2008 19:55

mstg, it is wrong and it is unnatural.
you knew you were going to lose your grandfather, this was totally out of the blue, and you probably are still in shock.
