My Friend Brandon

[Wendi Greene]

Hello! My name is Wendi and I lost my friend Brandon to suicide on August 30, 2012. I am trying 

to cope but the past few days I have been feeling sad. I have been going to therapy and am

taking anti-depressants which seem to be helping. I have been writing in a journal which has also 

helped but would really like to talk to someone who understands what I'm going through. If anyone 

would like to share their story I would love to hear from you. Thanks for listening.

Sincerely,

Wendi

Hi Wendi,  

It must be so hard to lose a friend to suicide.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I too am on anti-depressants and am journaling, so I hope this  helps you.  I quit seeing my therapist, and now I'm looking for a new one.  Take care, Raven

Hi Raven.

Thanks for replying to my message and your kind words. Yesterday was three months since

my friend Brandon killed himself and it still hurts. I have been doing everything I can to get through

this tragedy but it's so hard. The anti-depressants help and talking about it with others who are

dealing with the same emotions is comforting. I'm curious why you quit seeing your therapist. Going 

to counseling has been one thing that has really has helped me. I don't know where you live but you might

want to check out hospice in your town they have counseling and I don't think it costs anything to go.

If you can I would like to chat sometime. Just leave me a message. Thanks! Take care.

Sincerely,

Wendi
