You know what - it's to...I'm so, so sorry. <br />You know what - it's totally OK to feel grief. Life is a complete nob sometimes and it's totally OK to react to this. Let it all out. <br />My sister's best friend, a girl I've met no more than 5 times in her whole life (they're 9 years younger than me) died of leukemia a few weeks ago. I feel myself suddenly crying all the time. But it's OK. You have to let yourself go through this. <br />And I'm here for you if you ever want to vent or let stuff go to.

I believe there is no real way to deal with the grief of a berievement,everybody grieves in a way which is individual to them in their own time.My boyfriends father passed away in Feburary quite out of the blue and he is still grieving-sure he's not in tears every day but that pain will take time to heal.I hope you find your way through this grief and am sending you lots of hugs xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058782973731149192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-85473833982629256362014-12-10T21:02:10.393+00:002014-12-10T21:02:10.393+00:00Oh sweet, Jaime.

Right now, ...Jaime, I'm so sorry for your loss. Right now, I don't think there's anyway you can move through grief. I think it moves through you and finally, when you're both ready, it clears from your mind and your lungs and heart and you can start to look back at the happier memories.<br /><br />We lost my brother's best friend in tragic and sudden circumstances a couple of years ago when they were both 24. It was my first experience of loss that wasn't someone older who'd lived a full life and it definitely hurt all the deeper.<br /><br />Please take care of yourself, my thoughts are with you and your friends family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689961700203932778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-13942167623695461532014-12-09T12:55:47.776+00:002014-12-09T12:55:47.776+00:00I'm sorry, Jaime.

I suppose the silver lining could be that you will eventually shift from hurting at the thought of your friend to allowing your best memories of them to overshadow your pain over their loss (and like Jess^ said, time will do its duty, too, dulling the pain). But grief is hard. The thing that (to me) is both good and bad about it is that missing them never goes away. Thanks for always being honest with us here, even when it's so difficult.

Your post made...Oh Jamie, I am so incredibly sorry. Your post made my heart flutter thinking of a friend we lost in college. Every year on October 6th, we all stop to think about him...not that we haveever stopped thinking about him... but the pain somehow has become a part of us over the years and we've learned to grow with it. It became less crippling and more something that keeps us grounded I'd like to think. Every time Queen's "Under Pressure" comes on, I smile a bit because it was his favorite song. Every time I see The Big Lebowski, my heart tightens a little bit because he was never prouder than when he wore his "The Dude" costume at Halloween. I really admire that you wrote this post because I know it must have been hard. Time is hard to think about...but it will help. xx Jess (Jess-On-Thames)http://www.jessonthames.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-22300550111743694892014-12-08T19:50:07.706+00:002014-12-08T19:50:07.706+00:00I'm so sorry for your loss.
