>_Ashlie!_< answered Saturday May 28 2005, 5:00 pm: hey samie,
i lost a good friend from cancer when i was about 11 or 12... i know how you feel and i know that it's hard... just remember the good times you had together and that'll hopefully make you smile... be happy b/c she doesn't have to go through the pain of cystic fybrosis anymore... all you can do is keep her memories close to your heart and use this situation as a way to grow stronger!! God, your family, and your friends will help you through this... if you need anything, IM me or email me... *stay strong* [ _Ashlie!_<>>_Ashlie!_<'s advice column | Ask >_Ashlie!_< A Question ]

xOtWiXi answered Friday May 27 2005, 9:32 pm: I am so sorry about your friend. You have to remember the great times you've had together, and appreciate how you and her spent your lives together. It's completely and utterly hard to even start to explain, but you should keep a journal or notebook and write down things that you loved about her, or even write down stuff that you'd want to tell her. It's normal to cry- and don't forget that. Once again, I am so sorry about your friend, and if you need anyone to talk to, just message me. [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]
xbebopchrisx answered Friday May 27 2005, 9:04 pm: I am very sorry about your friends death. One of my very good friends has CF too. I watch her having trouble with this disease that is slowly killing her and it hurts me inside too. There really isn't any one thing you can do to help deal with your loss. I suggest you write something about her; a paragraph, a journal entry, a story, a poem or whatever. Just something where you can express yourself and vent your feelings. Or if your not good at writing you can draw something, compose something musical or make something artistic in her memory. I would also suggest that you try to meet with her family and discuss how you feel and how much you miss her. I think it could help you both. If you need to talk to someone about it I would be happy to talk to you. Best of luck to you.
Michele answered Friday May 27 2005, 8:44 pm: HI Samie,
I am sorry for your loss. I am sure that you played a very important roll in your friends short life. She must have counted on you to be there for her. I know that her disease was debilitating, so there were not a lot of activities that you two could do together. But you stayed her best friend anyway. That was so kind of you. Samie, I believe that everything happens for a reason. Your friend was sick, and you both knew that she was not going to live a long full life. Yes, you both hoped otherwise, but inside you knew. You shows strength and compassion where a lot of people would have shyed away. Maybe she was sent here for only a short time, not just to be your friend, but to teach you and the others close to her, compassion, and to value life, because none of us know how really long we have. IT may also have been to influence you to choose a path for your future. A future of helping people like you helped her. Perhaps you may become a doctor. Or a research scientist and find a cure for cyctic fybrosis. . Maybe you will do charitable work. Your friend will be an influence on you your whole life. YOu will always remember her. And as you grow older and begin to understand the cycles in life, you will think of her and smile, and thank her for making you realize how important life really is. The best thing you can do is live a great life, in her honor.
God Bless you. You have lived a lifetime already, in your short years. It has made you stronger and has shaped your future. Even if you don't realize it yet.

GeezLouise answered Friday May 27 2005, 6:24 pm: losing someone you love is never easy. never. is this your first time losing someone? I have lost someone i loved very much too. The only thing that made it easier, was time. In July it will be one year since I lost my dad. I cried alot in the first six or seven months. I missed him and still do. But it is easier now...I still feel like something is missing, but I'm glad its over for him because he was in so much pain near the end.
just know that your best friend is in a better place and she will always be with you in spirit. Talk to her out loud if it makes you feel better. some people believe that the spirit remains behind...they say a dream of them is actually a visit...if it makes it any easier to deal with.
WTF answered Friday May 27 2005, 6:21 pm: honestly, just deal with it however you can, everybodys different. these kinda things take time. one of my friends died in december and it still bothers me, but the way i deal with things is ignore them, which i find works well for me.
