8 Years-Still Hurts
| Wed, 07-25-2007 - 3:45pm |
8 years ago yesterday a dear friend committed suicide at the tender age of 26. I went to his grave site to leave flowers. I was angry b/c I still feel he was selfish for what he did. He's missing out on so much of our lives now. He'll never meet our children which makes me sad. He hurt so many people w/his actions. It amazes me how much it hurts after 8 years & how the memories of that horrible day can come flooding back so clearly.
Thanks for listening.

When a loved one dies by suicide, it is not unusual for his survivors to feel angry.
I too am a survivor of suicide and yes I too feel the anger.
Suicide is so hard. It hurts, it seems, so much longer because of our anger. Have you tried writing a letter to your friend, stating all the hurt and anger. Then burn it.
