i dont want my bff to end up like me


Question Posted Sunday October 28 2007, 3:56 pm

one of my bffs grandpa died. his grandpa was the only person he could really trust. i know how it is because i cant trust anybody because i only wanted my grandpa and he died. and my bff cried his eyes out on the bus. ive never seen him cry before. he left in the middle of school to go across the country to his grandpas funeral. my family got a big thing of flowers for him to be givin to them at the funeral home. i just dont know what to do. i dont want him to end up like me. i lost all i could ever trust and now he did and when i did i went straight downhill. cutting depression i changed my friends and clothes and music. he cant stand when i dress like that but hes ok with it. on the bus he would only talk to me and our friend. we talked the whole time. but i made him happier. i just cant stand it hes all ive been thinking of for the past week and i havent heard from him or his family. im worried and when he gets back i dont know. i dont want him to end up like me. were just like eachother but our taste in clothes music and people are just the oppasite but we dont build trust easily to anyone and ive known him my whole life. ive been crying about this and hes all i think about. i dont know what to do.

Your friend will be feeling lost and lonely following the death of his grandpa. You know exactly how he feels and he will know that he can come to you for understanding.

Write him a simple letter offering to be there for him whether he wants to talk or just sit in silence. It will take a little time to come to terms with his grief, but just like you he will move on. It may well do both of you some good to go to a bereavement counsellor if it would help. (Your school may be able to arrange it for you).

A little time and a lot of understanding will go a long, long way in helping him through this. It will also help you because you have been there before.

I wish you both peace of mind for the future. Good luck.

i mean i understand you dont want him to be liek you , but honestly theres really nothing you can do [ at this moment ] ya know . all you CAN do is just remind him of how great of a friend he is to you , and you'll always be there . sometimes the most appriciated thing for you to do to a friend is let them have some time trying to gather them self's back together adn relocated them selfs . space is hard to do , but you gotta let them come to you with somethings , just ya know let him know you care and youll be his back bone , hope i heLped :)


tell me how everything went ,
