Answer 1

No one can tell you how to deal with hurt . We all go though it defiantly. The only thing you can do is to remember the good things that came from your friend and know that he was steal a child of God and that now he is with God and has no more pain.He will always be your friend now he is more thin a friend he could be your gardened angle looking over you. once a friend always a friend in your heart, So never get over him always remember his and be happy that you had time with him on earth.

Answer 2

Any death of a close friend or family member takes time. Especially when it wasn't really time for that person to die. Right now is your time to grieve. The hurt never goes away but it does fade. Your memories don't go away either. Maybe starting a memorial blog to let it out, share your memories and to tell others about what his problems were may help not only you but others to learn about his and your pain and choose another path. I think that will be a great way to celebrate his life and learn from that which makes some chose death. There may be some people in his family that also may need you to help understand. Good luck to you, hope time heals your wounds.

There is no easy way...times heals. I lost both parents, my favorite aunt and a friend by the time I was 21. So at first it feels like you've been stabbed through the heart..but that does go away, I promise. I read a lot of Near death experience books and I tell you that really helped me. I have been out of my body once so I know it's not just a bunch of BS. I promise!!! Read Life after Life by Raymond Moody. Go from there. It's true- DEATH IS JUST RE-BIRTH. Your friend is probably watching over you now. I am sure he is happy, safe and fine. Remember- we are souls first.

Answer 4

I'm so sorry for your loss. Dealing with the death of a loved one can be very difficult. The best thing you can do is find someone to talk to about the pain you feel, and not bottle it up inside you. Time is the only thing that can make the pain subside, but talking will help alleviate it somewhat. Remember the good times, and you have my condolences.

Answer 5

To lose someone special is the hardest thing in the world. I know what you're feeling. You will cry, you will feel guilty, you will miss him. You may even be angry with him. In between those times, remember all the things about him that you love. If you know what it was that led him to use drugs, perhaps eventually you can use this loss to help others who may be dealing with the same thing. For now, know that it will take time. Your feelings will be intense. Allow yourself to feel and to express those feelings. Know you couldn't have done anything to keep it from happening. He made his own choices. Talk about him to others. Don't be afraid to be angry with him as well. Eventually all those feelings will even out and you will be able to celebrate the things about him that you love. Let those things that you love about him be his legacy. Learn from his mistakes and live your life in a way that will keep you from going down that same path. Love and peace to you.

Take all the time you need.

Grief counselling is a great place to start.
You will be lead through your grief by professionals, who will offer sound advice.

Keep yourself healthy and rested.

Honor the passing of your friend by valuing the life that is yours.

I am sure if your friend was here , he would apologize to his friends and family for making such a costly mistake.

Except his apology and move on in your own time.

Answer 7

dealing with the death of a loved one takes time. This has just happened , your not suppose to be over it .... you need to mourn the loss of your friend.. eventually as time goes by your heart will slowly begin to heal, the most important thing to do is take one day at a time, and remember that he will always live on in your heart and your memories.

Answer 8

I too have lots friends by death. Of course you will never forget your friends. Even after they're gone. Even though its hard now you're going to have to face the facts, sooner or later, death hits us all.

Don't go doing the same thing though.. Suicide not only hurts the person who commited suicide, but the friends and family.

I know it's hard.. but life goes on.. and just live it to the fullest.

Best wishes, and love to you.

Answer 9

Grieve as you see fit, cry, remember, relate and then smile as you recall the good times, bad times and just the times that were shared. Burying a body is just that the soul lives on, GOD BLESS.
