Just need to say......

I just need to tell someone (and don't really have anyone obvious to speak to about this) that three years ago today my recent ex-boyfriend (we'd split up 3 weeks before) killed himself. I'm in no way still actively grieving for him, although I do think about him often, more so around the anniversary of his death. Soon after he died it seemed weird to me that life for the rest of the world went on as normal and I couldn't believe he wasn't around anymore. I still occasionally catch glimpses of strangers and think it's him. I had a ring that had sentimental value that was him related. I couldn't wear it because of that, but also couldn't throw it out because of that. It just sat in my jewellery box looking at me. A few days ago I gave it to one of his friends to look after.

Anyway, it feels better now I've written it down.

I know that lots of folk have lost loved ones, and my thoughts go out to you too.

Didn't want to read and run... So sorry you've had to go through that. Glad writing it down helped a bit. You sound like a very caring person.

Yes it does indeed seem weird that life goes on. And it takes a while to get used to the idea that their absence is not temporary :(

Here's to absent friends Wine or Brew.

It's weird the way life works as well - through his death I got to be close friends with one of his friends, who then played cupid for me and my current boyfriend and set us up. So if it wasn't for my ex dying, I wouldn't have met my current boyfriend! Very odd.

Here's to absent friends indeed Wine
