I have a friend who's killed himself. How am I supposed to cope?
I know it may seem hard at first, but if you really loved him (as a friend) then you would want to remember him! Think of all of the great times you guys had together, all of the laughs and jokes shared. If he was really unhappy, he is in a better place now. Understand that even though this is hard for you, this is what he wanted. I'm sure he was a a great friend of yours, and I know you probably really miss him. Just keep in mind every day that he is always watching over you and will always be with you, and he is happy. Remember that he is HAPPY! And he would not want you to be sad about it. He would want you to keep living your life the way you would and wanted you to be HAPPY! Like mom_1big2little said, take it one day at a time. Try to focus on something you are passionate about, schoolwork, your religion, a hobby, a sport! Make new friends and know that he is gone, but it is not forever. Nothing is forever.
Tell yourself that he'll be in the heaven now.Enjoying.Having fun.And he'll always be with you.You must be glad that he died.He killed himself because he dont wish to live anymore.And now he's dead.His wish come true.And since he's already dead,your life must go on.He'll always watch you.So be happy.Dont think too much.^^
You take it day by day. Remember crazy silly times you spent with him. Some will make you laugh and some will make you cry. Be strong, but let your feelings out, DO NOT hold them in. Talk to someone close to you about things you use to do together. Believe it or not it does get easier.
Draw on your faith if able...I'm very sorry for your loss - you and the family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
