all of us deal with grief differently and no one should tell you how to cope i have found that people mean well and want to help but not all have been through it  so my come back i sometimes use is have you really been there . and if they say um not really then the answer  of course is no And  they can't help    but the one's that have been  will and can help  and for all of who have been there you should not just snap out of it .

Maryellen,

 I understand how you feel about your mom. It has been 4 mos since my friend Brandon died and I am still having a hard time. His birthday was the 23rd of December and he would have been 36. I miss him so much....I know that I really need to try and get over him but it's really hard. Therapy has helped and I am taking anti-depressants but some days are really hard...........

Wendi

hi wendi how are you ? thanks for the nice message that you sent it meant alot .

Maryellen,

I'm glad that I could cheer you up!

How am I doing? Well that is a tough question to answer. I am still having a hard time dealing with my friend Brandon's suicide. Some days I don't think about him so much and other days he is all I can think about. I really want to talk to his mom but I don't want to upset her because she has high blood pressure. Brandon lived with her but I don't know if she was the one who found him. She has really been upset and hasn't been leaving her house. I know that she should talk to someone about how she is feeling but I don't know how to talk to her without making her more upset. Brandon's older brother has been stopping by to check on her but she still needs to find a way to deal with Brandon's death. I'm sure she will never be the same.....

I have a few friends that I talk to and I've been seeing a therapist but it still hurts. I really want to start feeling better so I can move on with my life and possibly even start dating again. This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life......I will talk to you soon Thanks for listening 

Wendi

Friend of Brandon

morning   how are you doing i have missed not talking to you 

I'm sorry I have been working six days 10 hours shifts the past few weeks so haven't had time for 

anything. We are short help at my job  but they are trying to hire some people. Hopefully my schedule will go 

back to normal soon because I am so exhausted......Hope you had a nice New Years......Talk to you soon
