It's been 10 1/2 years but the pain and heartache and guilt just don't seem to be getting any better. I understand why she did it because I am bipolar as well...but it doesn't make it any easier to accept. She is the only one in my whole life that seemed to truly understand me and accept me exactly the way I am. I have never found a friendship like that again. Is it normal to still be grieving after so many years? Everyone tells me that I should just get over it already...none of them have lost any loved ones to suicide and I just wish the pain and sadness would go away...does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone lost someone to suicide? I miss her so much...View Thread

I am hoping that others will post with their experiences and advice as well. I will definitely be checking back in as often as I can. I think my main issue with her suicide is the fact that the last words I said to her before going to bed were to tell her that if she needed to talk to PLEASE just come wake me up...I was 2 bedrooms away. I have always felt like if I had just stayed up with her that night that she might still be here...it's hard to deal with that sometimes.
Again, thank you so much for responding to my post...I really appreciate it.View Thread
