My best friend is dead! :,(

[Anime Girl]

I still can't believe this. It's been 3 years since both my friends passed away. I graduated on Sunday, but we all know there should have been two more people who should have walked across the stage with us. I'm still looking for that Hannah Montana light up necklace Aubrey got me, but I doubt I'm gonna find it anytime soon (I lost it since 2 years before she died). It still hurts me at times. It's like the day my mom told me her and Dad were separating, I'm passed that, since that event took place several years ago, but one thing, one word, one feeling, and it just triggers everything. I wish I knew some way to prevent this from happening to both of them, but unfortunately I ain't no hero of time like in Homestuck. Now I tend to overreact whenever someone is upset, because I get scared of that said person committing suicide, I just don't wanna go through it again. Just too many triggers! I love you Shannon Swonger and Aubrey Trautman.

It's strange how certain triggers can bring back memories of dear friends who've long since passed. I still often think about a friend of mine who passed away nearly two years ago; even just doing my normal routine, I still think about him from time from time.

Just continue being strong for yourself and those around you. It's best to remember the good memories you had with those friends.

[Anime Girl]

Oh gawd I remember that. I even commented on it I think.

[Shiyonasan]

Yep. Second reply after the original post.

The pain will probably never go away and you'll probably never stop thinking about them, but you're strong and you'll keep them close in memory. It's never easy losing a friend, I too had a close friend of mine in high school pass on (he fell into the river rapids and drowned) and I too still think about him. He really was a riot. I'll always miss him.

Even though all this sorrow has come I am happy that you graduated!

one thing I have been told in therapy groups is the fact that you feel sad shows that you cared about your friends.

aside from that thought about all I can offer is an internet hug.

[QUOTE=Anime Girl 16;127017]I'm sorry to say this, but here goes. I had this friend named Shannon Swonger. She was about 15 years old like me. We've been friends since 5th or 6th grade. She had brown hair, blue green eyes, usually she had her hair in a long ponytail. She liked hunting, Facebook and shopping and adventure. She was in vollyball team, orchestra, chorus, and in the school's production of Little Shop of Horrors about a month or two ago, she was part of the chorus, and had a small speaking role of a customer at the shop. Sometimes me and Shannon seemed like polar opposites (I like pink, she liked black and red, I'm Team Edward, she's with Team Jacob, etc.), but there was alot we had in common as well. She was a good friend, wonderful listener, and was there if I needed a shoulder to cry on. She never really seemed depressed, or at least so I thought. She wasn't at school today, and this one girl I knew, Bri, said she died, but I didn't believe her because, well, she's not completely honest. But later in band class, which was my last period, band director Mr. Fontaine confirmed that the rumors were true, and Shannon really had died. I was devastated. Shannon apparently last night took a her rifle, and committed suiside. But I don't know why! Why didn't she tell me anything!? I'm her best friend, so why couldn't she tell me anything. Anyways, after word I started crying, and here's the strangest part, I can't seem to speak. I'd open my mouth but words don't come out. The consoler said I must be in shock. I just hope it's temperarely. Could anyone give me advice on how to deal with a death of a friend? Tonight I'll pray for Shannon and her family. R.I.P. Goodbye best friend.

Oh, hon, I am so sorry to hear that... I will send you a PM, gimme a few minutes, k?[/QUOTE]
