musicluvr1991 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 So as of today, it's been a year since my friend Josh died such a weird feeling..it still feels really surreal to think he's gone there's been so many little things popping up that really make me miss him and it's been a tough year but i'm so lucky to have such a great group of friends and very supportive parents, which has really helped a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'm glad you have support. Losing a friend can be really tough. My daughter lost her friend Jorma when he was but 24, it's been ten years now. They all got matching tattoos in his memory. They are never forgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiliean Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Losing a friend who is really very close to your heart is a difficult situation. I know that you might be still thinking of all the memories that you had with your friend. But you must come out from it. Pray to god to help you for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Telling someone they must come out from it is a little like telling someone to move on...it feels inappropriate. Here we acknowledge someone's feelings, knowing everyone's timetable is different. I lost one of my best friends a year ago from cancer and I cherish memories of her. What's key is balance...while it's good to remember the memories, it's also important to not miss today, to learn to live in the present so we don't miss what is. I've learned in grief that those past and present in our lives are all intermingled, all a part of who we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossmateo Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I agree there is no timeline for grief. We all have our own way of dealing with it. Its really hard to look back and think wow its been a year. Maybe a memorial or tribute to honor your friend would be a great way to keep their memory alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
