Question Posted Thursday November 27 2008, 10:08 pm
My best friend commited suicide on the first of this month.. N idk what do with myself anymore. She was everything to me.. we were so close n we were even blood sisters (meaning we poked our fingers and touched our blood together). I met her in the behavorial health hospital n i knew we both had depression, but she always said she'd call me if she was thinking those thoughts again. But she didn't.. N i feel even worse cuz I was supposed to be with her that day too! I feel like I could've stopped her or something. I'm lost without her.. I don't feel like I can do this without her. What should I do? Please Help Me!

i wish you the best, and if you need a friend, you can always count on me.

Whatever you do, do not blame yourself. It is NOT your fault at all, I promise. Unfortunately and impossible as it may seem, things do happen for a reason. Maybe if you listen to some songs to help you out of the slum. HOnestly, she is in such a better place, and even if you don't believe that, I do, and I know everything will be okay. I know you feel like you can't go on without her, but the world will not ocme to an end, I promise. If anything, life is short and I take it back, things dont just happen for a reason, the happen to teach something about life that you didn't know. I know it is so hard to understand, but everything will be okay. If you are still having trouble maybe talking about it with someone you trust may be a great idea.
I love to listen to people, if you would like to talk to me about it, I am absolutely here, anytime. I know how it feels, to love someone so much and in the blink of an eye they are gone. It is like a bad nightmare that you just can't wake up from, no matter how many times you pinch youself. When you rate me, leave me your email if you would like to talk, okay?
In the meantime I'll list some good songs that have helped me cope with death:
Who you'd be today- Kenny Chesney
Things Left Unsaid- Disciple
To Bring you Back- Paul Alan
Last Night- Skillet
What Hurts the Most- rascal Flatts
Broken-Lindsay Haun
I'll think of some more, but I have listened to these and cried my eyes out, and it does help. YOu have to go through the entire emotion until you can honestly walk away from it.
And please don't blame yourself, you are a good person trapped in a horrific traumatic situation, and you will walk away from this unharmed, you will become stronger, and you willhonestly be okay, I truly believe that, I have faith in you. :)

It was her choice not to call you. I'm going to asume that your think ing of commiting suicide to yourself but that is not the best way to cope with your lose. Live your life because your best friend can no longer. Always have her in your thoughts but live your life for her. You can do anything. Get threw this depression for her, live your life to the fullest for her. I'm sorry about your lose. But you need to be strong. For both yourself and your best friends family.
Please, Please, PLEASE don't kill yourself. it's not the answer and you'll regret it your whole life. You think you'll be with your best friend, yes but its not your time to go yet. God wants you to have a happy life and you will as long as you don't disipoint you, your family, or your best friend.
Hope I helped and i'm really truly sorry for your lose.
I hope my advice helped you in a smart way to cope with this.

Maybe help would have helped her but the thoughts would have keep coming back. Your friend is watching over you now making sure you don't make that mistake that she made. Keep your head up and work even harder at your life to show her how much you miss her. it may not make sense right now. but it will [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]
