Overcoming Grief

Quote From: baseball

I am so sorry to hear a about  your friend. I know how you feel. I lost my daughter to suicide last year. She also fought the demons most of her short life( she was 23 yrs old.)  Sometimes they just get tired. I do believe that our loved ones are now at peace and suffer no more. We have to remember that we were very lucky to have been part of their lives and lucky to have known and loved them. I cherish every moment and memory I had with my daughter. I Hope you can do the same for your friend. I wish you well! I hope to hear how you are doing soon.       Linda

Thank you Linda. Oh my Gosh I am so sorry about your daughter, my friend had just turned 31...its hard to grasp that they are so young and hurts at the same time that they hurt this much and there was nothing that can be done. I have to agree with you, I do think that they get so tired of fighting to be happy that there is no fight left in them.  This has been a lot harder than I thought.  Everytime I've called one of his close friends to tell them I have to hear them break down and just breaks my heart even more. The funeral is tomorrow and I'm having a hard time deciding on going to the visitation, I want to be able to keep the memories I have him the way they are and not have the memory of seeing him like this. Am I going to go to the funeral though, I don't want to regret later than I decided against going. Thank you for responding, it helps a lot to know that someone understands how I feel. I am more grateful for you reading this than you can imagine.    Jessica
