Grieving a loved one  |
|
Today is the 6 year anniversary of my best friends death. Reece was shot to death in front of me 6 years ago. I watched him die. And every year it gets harder and harder to deal with it. I have his name tatted on my arm, i gave my first born his name, and yet i still feel like a piece of me is missing. And throughout the year, i think of him all the time, but 2/11 is always the hardest. I have been crying all day, and i just cant get over it. Someone please tell me how i deal with it? Ive written poems, i tried to talk about it. But nothing is making me feel better.

1. lilbitgreen (139) | 3 years ago | I'll start by saying that I am sorry for your lose. I think the fact that you watched it happen makes it harder to get past this stage of grief. I would suggest that you try and talk to a therapist specializing in grief counseling, you may be bottling things up that you are unaware of or not letting go even though you feel you have. But never forget that it's okay to cry and to talk about.

| 2. sourgrapes77 (45) | 3 years ago | I guess the best you can is not to grieve but to be happy for him because he served his lifetime though its a tragic thing to remember him of but eventually, from where he is now, he is more at peace. Be happy because not everyone new him and you were his bestfriend and you were there to experience the good and bad times with him. We should always learn to let go and I'm sure if he'd see you lonely he wouldn't be happy too right?? And pray, always pray that God would take away your sadness and burden. He always listens. God Bless.

| fortyzwife (63) | 3 years ago | Thank you so much. I think the problem is, as i stated above just now, is i thought i let him go but i guess i didnt, so at this point, i dont know how to. I just told a friend earlier, through the tears, that i shouldnt still feel like it was yesterday it happened to him. I dont know how to physically let go of him. Or the bad memory of that night. Because that is the only bad memory i have of him.

fatal_ivory (170) | 3 years ago | Just let go. Don't make your world go around him. He's dead and you're alive. You have so much to do in this world. Your child needs you. That mere fact should be your motivating factor for you to move on. It will be unfair for your child if you still grieve for someone who is dead while he'she (your child) is still alive. Forgetting a part of things related to Reece will not mean you abandoned him. It only means that you are strong enough to move on with your life with his help. Just think that he will be very happy if he sees you happy with your life.

4. anjoks (1579) | 3 years ago | Honestly, it's so easy giving advices for people like you in times like these. . but puttin myself on someone else's shoes, i always have these kind of thinking you know that "it's sooo easy for people to say that, give advices because they are not the one experiencing it". Am i right about that? .. i just hope and wish that someday, you'll soon find that "acceptance" in your heart. Be strong. You are not alone in this battle. Godbless. (",)
