sad

[dove]

I found out yesterday that a friend of mine hanged themselves on christmaas day, it really upset me. What is worse is that they werent found until a week afterwards. I moved away from the area a few years ago to start afresh, and left no forwarding address to any of my old friends, I feel very sad and alone at the moment and need cheering up. Any ideas anyone?

Aww, that is so tragic.
1. Write a list of all the good things in your life and count your blessings.
2. Go for a long walk - naff, but it works for me.
3. Treat yourself to something nice - anything from a nice cake to a CD to a day out.
4. Friends are precious. Why don't you drop a line to your other old friends?
5. Your friend no longer has a life and your must remember that it was THEIR choice and no one is to blame or could have stopped them.
6. Have a bloody good cry.

Go to a supermarket and buy:

1) DVD
2) Small bottle of single malt
3) Pringles
4) Sour Cream dip
5) Ready made Tiramisu

And return home to endulge in all 5.

The whle lot should cost under �30. And if you are a weak livered bird, a small bottle should be enough to take the edge off things for the time being.

Apart from that I have no other ideas. Grief and loss is a personal thing, and only you can deal with it really.

thanks mrs o, jane and bewlay bros, I just needed a cyber pick me up as there is no way I can contact any of my friends from my past. Its best left, it doesnt help though when something like this happens, I feel really helpless. But thanks for all your kind comments xxxxxxxxx

I dont feel close enough to them 3ight8ball, with the reasons we had to move away, I have found it really difficult to get close to people, and I find it very hard to trust now.

Hi Dove, That is really sad news, like bewlay says grief is a very personal thing, do some things that you enjoy today to pick yourself up. get some fresh air as well, it always make me feel better.

my sister went through the same thing with a friend of hers but the body was not found until two months later she took it really hard the only advise i can give is if they where really a friend you will hold them in high regards even if they did what they did and just keep them in your memory and horor or think about them every day
