Dear Graves; Loosing a Good Friend

Even though it's sometimes disregarded, losing a buddy can be just as heartbreaking as losing another family member. It arrives with the same fury, whips you through a flurry of feelings, and then abandons you to the mercies of grief. As you attempt to understand it and conform to its demands, be prepared to feel astonished, angry, bewildered, and terribly troubled.

This grief guide teaches you how to deal with such loss and assists you in understanding the repercussions of losing a close friend.

LOSING A CLOSE FRIEND

We frequently deceive ourselves into thinking that losing a buddy is an unfortunate experience, and as a result, we downplay its seriousness and effects on our lives. This mentality is especially clear when our acquaintance abandons his or her family and close friends. Don't let the impact on their grieving spouse, kids, parents, siblings, or even grandparents diminish the significance of your loss or place you at the bottom of the list.

Whatever the preparations, you must give your grief the full attention it deserves because it is as significant. As you listen to it, get ready to manage your sudden flurry of feelings, including rage and uncertainty. You might feel bad about previous conflicts or regret some of the things you said and did.

Grieving a friend's loss is just as special and individual as grieving any other loss. Your relationship with them shapes it, and age may have an impact.

The other emotions and experiences you could be experiencing are all normal. Keep in mind that sorrow is a process that is personal to you. Give yourself some grace and plenty of time to mourn that loss.

After a buddy passes away, the endorphin rush you have from laughing and having a wonderful time with them is short-lived and replaced with a sea of sadness. You have to overcome that obstacle in order to continue living your life after losing a dear buddy.

How you could feel upon a friend's passing

Sadness and grief

Just as heartbreaking as the loss of a close relative is that of a dear friend. However, others close to you might not always realize this.

When a more distant acquaintance passes away, some individuals are shocked by how much it affects them. Even if you hadn't seen your friend in a while or if you had lost touch, it's common to feel stunned and hurt after learning the news.

Connection lost

Friends can be a great source of emotional and practical support. They could have been someone you could laugh or relax with. That connection can be very painful to lose.

When someone with whom you shared special memories passes away, it can be incredibly heartbreaking. You might experience a loss of connection to the past if you and your pals were close for a long period, perhaps since childhood.

Fear

If your acquaintance had been close to your age, their passing might have been really awful. Your mortality can serve as a reminder to you that they died too.

The importance of grieving is irrelevant.

People frequently rush to help the deceased's parents, partner, or children after their death. Although this is undoubtedly crucial, it does occasionally result in friends feeling excluded from crucial discussions regarding funerals and monuments.

Anger After a death,

anger is a common emotion. Death is a horrible and unfair thing. It's acceptable to be upset about what happened to your friend.

Dear readers, this Sunday makes me remember a dear friend whom we exercise together. She would always call me to remind me of going to the stadium for training and even when I keep late hours, she waits for me. I haven't really written anything about her because I lack the courage to. One thing that hits so hard is that she was so healthy even the day she died, she went to work. Remembering this sorrow breaks my heart and makes me cry again but I have to accept it at last.

We all have that one or two graves in our heart and the best I think we all should do is pray for them.

Thanks for your time
