Cry and feel awful. Band together with other friends and tell humorous stories about the departed.

Only time can fade the sorrow of someone's passing.

MrEnglish	Posted Oct 10th, 2009 at 11:03AM Never forget your friend, think of all the good times you had together, can you have some photos of them to keep. Let nature take its course don't worry to feel the way you are, time is a great healer and will help you come to terms with your loss, we live on in others memories. Take care.

2Buddies	Posted Oct 10th, 2009 at 10:40AM I'm still coping. I depended on him for deep friendship and suddenly he was gone. Telling that to his brother recently helped. I would say, talking to others helps especially with family. Rated: +1Vote for this!
nshanz	Posted Oct 10th, 2009 at 10:16AM I don't know but when my auntie (who i was really close to btw) died I blamed myself for a long time then was angry for a good while then sorta moved on. we all deal differently but my advice would be to just take one day at a time then hopefully you'll start feeling ok again. I hope this has helped. :) sorry for your loss. Rated: +1Vote for this!

RRK1	Posted Oct 10th, 2009 at 5:39PM The way you have to. There are stages in the grieving process and you need to go through each one. Time does heal all wounds, but never completely, I have found. However, as many have said, remember your friend and s/he will always be with you. Words can't say enough to help you with your sorrow. Rated: +1Vote for this!
