Not too long ago my best friend committed suicide. She was 31 years old and had a baby boy. I know that she went through a lot of grief. Just last night I had a beautiful dream about her and I just wanted to hold her but she was so far away. I have been really depressed lately (not so sure if its depression more like numb–not being able to cope with things or do things normally). I didn’t go to her memorial because I felt like it would be too much for me. Right now I am in denial of her death. I just don’t believe she is dead. She was really happy  (or so it seemed) and loved her baby boy. I am searching for help online with how to deal with death of a friend/family by suicide and I am not really finding anything. I was wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks to deal with the loss? I don’t know what else to write.

Don’t remember her death but her life. The good memories. Maybe that will help a little.
I’m so sorry about your friend. Suicide is so confusing and leaves us all with so many questions that can never be answered…. can you see a counselor? that’s what really helped me when my friend killed himself many years ago. good luck and again, sorry about your friend.
