A friend's death can be a really hard thing to deal with. I recently had it happen as well. One of the few things that kept me sane though the whole thing is imagining him watching me crying, saying 'Suck it up, p***y!'... He was sensative like that wink

You've just gotta think of all the good times you had with them. Feel free to PM me if you need to. *hugs*

I'm sorry, honey. It's unfortunate that bad things happen to good people, but it's just a fact of life, and the best thing we can do is deal with it.

Don't feel guilty for laughing or being happy later on. Your friend would have wanted it for you.

Also, don't try to run away from the guilt. You have to face the music sometime or later. Take it head on, deal as best you can (sometimes you need a bit more help, from family or counselors) and then try to move on in life.

You have my sympathies. Losing some close to you is always a painful experience and makes you re-evaluate your life. The only thing I can really tell you is keep loving your friend and keep them in your heart and live life the way they would have wanted you to. That is the best thing you can do to honour their memory.

I am very sorry about your friend. I guess you just have to try and remember them. Maybe if you attend their funeral/burial you should say a few things about them as a way of rememberance.

I'm not really sure of what to say, other than I'm very sorry. *hugs*
When my rabbit passed away last November, and when my great-grandmother and uncle died in December and then in May, I found a particular book to be very helpful to me. You may find it helpful as well.

A friend's death is tough; very tough. Just a reminder at how precious life is. Take time to heal and to cry. Then, when you are ready, how about make something to remember your friend? A scrapbook is a great idea. Get some mutural friends together and gather all your photos with her, write down special memories or things she used to say. Then, you can make copies for all of you and even a copy for your friend's family. Death can separate and alienate people, but it can also bring people closer. Good luck with the healing.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

I recently lost someone VERY special to me as well. I know what you're going through. The funeral was this past Friday, so it's VERY fresh on my mind.

All I can really say is be sure and allow yourself to grieve. There's nothing wrong with it. I have been in and out of crying and grieving since I found out about the death. It's something hard to come to terms with. Give yourself time to mourn and time to accept the loss.

Find a good friend or relative to find support and comfort in as well. Talking to someone can help.

I'm so sorry. Losing a loved one is a terrible pain. Make sure you don't bottle up your feelings or it can make you ill. Talk to people, cry, anything you want. You'll get through this difficult time.

I'm never good when someone I love passes on. It's hard right now even to see my grandmother, she keeps on saying that her time is near... and well, I deal with it by just thinking of all the fun I had when I a child with.

Just think of all the good thoughts, even if it hurts, just be gald that you had someone whom cared for you too, and be gald that you cared for that person. Just try to bring up and out all the happiness you can.

Hell. I can never do it, but maybe you can.

My friend died about a year ago. Realy the best thing is to talk. I know its hard but you can't keep your feelings locked up inside of you. If you want to talk to someone who knows what your going through PM me
