| Like it just happened yesterday... |
Today has been one year since my friend Brian committed suicide.
While I am, in a sense, partly moved on from it, I think about his parents and his brother (one of my best friends). What do they think? Do they remember it as vividly as they did the day it happened? Will they continue to remember it the same every time? Does the pain really go away completely? While my friend Stephen and his parents are extremely strong in the faith, I can't help but wonder about all these things.
Brian was an aspiring Artist and would have graduated last month if he were still alive.
It was so unexpected and heart-wrenching how it all happened. Brian had a few personal issues (along with spiritual), but who doesn't?!
I'm close with his family and really wanted to write his parents a letter, but I keep stalling...I'm just not sure what to write them. I don't know what to say to comfort them. I know they're thinking of him.
I miss him a lot and I wish I had gotten to know him better. The sad thing is, I was planning to spend time with both him and Stephen when Stephen got back from his mission trip.
I guess we never really expect someone to fall into such a hopeless (or what seems hopeless) situation. Have you known of anyone committing suicide or a friend or relative that has been through this?! I would like to get some perspective.
