Don't be hard on yourself. This takes a long time. You will get through this,I know that my words can't change what's happened...but when I read your story it touched my heart,I can see that you are still struggling, I pray for you to be uplifted and your joy restored.Grieving is such a hard process, sometimes it must feel like 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. Be kind to yourself, take little steps and give yourself permission to feel bad without doubting whether you have the right to feel that way.Everyone reacts to loss differently and while we may share some feelings and thoughts, there is no right or wrong way to experience this. Grieving is a process, one with no set time frame for "progress" or "success". think of it as a journey that is long and difficult, with bumpy spots and smooth ones, hills and valleys. Sometimes we need to travel alone, other times we need friends and family to help us through. But I don't think the journey ends. Rather there may be points where we stop to rest, to recoup and gather our thoughts, but I don't think we ever come to a complete stop.Sometimes we want to confront God and demand an explanation, an apology, ask Him why He took someone who meant so very much to our heart's.I lost my step father when I was a young child,I still cry years later because I hurt so bad from missing him.I have heard people say that time heals all wound's,I beg to differ....I know this is harder on you and your family then it is on any of us, and for that I am so very sorry.Your Grandpa was a lucky man to have you standing beside him till the end...Pat yourself on the back for caring so much about him...my personal belief that the dead have down time. Call it 'the big sleep', call it 'asleep in Jesus', call it what you will. But I believe that upon death, the spirit removes to some other place. Perhaps it spends time recovering from the world's grievances, perhaps it is not at all aware of the former life, death, loved ones, etc., perhaps it isn't aware of anything. But I believe that when Jesus returns to our world, and yes, I do believe He will, the dead in Christ will rise first to be with Him, then the living in Christ shall be with Him. It's my opinion that at that point in time,You will finally see your father again.don't give up in yourself or in God.Go ahead and cry. It's okay Don't fight your feelings. Guilt can be a normal part of grief.Each day may seem like a burden,sometimes it will be hard to face.I offer you my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father.although there are no words to ease your grief at this difficult time I do hope that my words will offer you some kind of comfort.Understanding the nature of grief can help us better cope with loss. Grief is a natural, healthy process that enables us to recover from terrible emotional wounds.If you need someone to talk to you can email me...Im up to listen and offer any advice that I can...Good Luck

What's the truth? Your friend didn't take responsibility for what he did, instead he reacted impulsively and now your friends dad has to live with the fact that his son choose death. I can't think of a worse hell than thinking he should have just let his son have the beer and he'd still be alive. Or maybe he would have just wrapped himself around a tree.
Just don't talk about it when people gossip, and get some counseling so you can get a handle on why you feel the need to justify this selfish act.

this has got to be hard on everyone... ok, the thing is, a lot of ppl just do not stop to think about what they say BEFORE they say it... and ppl as young as you, up to the age of around 19 or so, just do not know how to handle death.. heck, I even have that prob. at the age of 48... death is not easy to deal with at any age... and as for the circumstances surrounding your friends death ? well, ppl are gonna talk no mater what... YOU know the truth so try not to let what others say get to you... hard, I know... to them, saying what they are saying and thinking is easier to them, than facing the fact that some one they knew, is gone, and it all came about in such a horrific way... I too have experianced what you have.. a friend did try to hang himself, on purpose, I might add, and it did not work so well... he lives his life now as a 7 yr old, and he is now over 50... ppl do dumb things, and they either live or they die... ppl make mistakes... YOU need to honor your friends life by living yours as best you can... dont worry about the other kids, when they are ready to face it, they will come to you... just be there when they are ready.... God bless

I'm forty four and unmarried, so my reply comes from watching on the lives of married peers and my brother. Everyone has plenty of disorders, commonly minor, generally critical. Usually it's when you consider that the spouse has plenty of disorders, commonly the youngsters have disorders additionally. Usually the spouse spends cash that the loved ones does not have, she is mentally risky, or each. Most of the married couples I realize are moderately blissful and keep in combination. The important pondering retaining so much couples in combination is the kids.

You're one stupid s-lut. You obviously need to go back to school. I think you're the one who's 4 years old by your grammar and the way that you spell!
Ugh, children!
