I miss my best friend. He died last year but his mother and I are still very much in touch. We get on with our lives, she's pregnant again so we think about other things as if he is just gone on holiday, and then I have these moments where I remember he's not coming back.
:grouphug: Memories that are shared bring us comfort. I am saddened to know your friend is gone but I also sense from your post that the memory of him will not ever be. I hope that the good times you had bring you a smile each time you do miss him.
I lost my best friend a few years ago-he was killed in a fight. I think about him all the time. Wish he was here. It hurts. Yea it sucks. But I do have great memories of him. I talk to him a lot. And I still do laugh at some of the good times that we had. I have a few of his things that I keep. I open it up every now and then and remember things. Some day you may want to write down some of your memories of your friend-it helped me-and it's something that I can read many years from now to remind me of him.
Probably bring him back with vodoo. It'll be a rich full christmas assuming he doesn't eat your brains. Sorry about your loss.
It's hard. It takes time, and eventually it hurts a lot less and occupies your mind and life a lot less. I still think about my best friend every day, but I usually don't get so bummed out anymore when I do. I have my days when things that remind me of her just send me off the edge, but I've associated most of the memories with the happiness I got to know and love her instead of the sadness of having to say goodbye. It's been almost 3 and a half years and we're coming up on the 4 year anniversary since I last saw her in person. It never stops hurting, but it does get easier. You just have to keep reminding yourself that you have to keep living, even if your friend didn't. I'm really sorry for your loss and even more sorry that you have to deal with this so young. It was hard enough to be 21 and bury my best friend.
