How to get over my friend's death?

About a year and a half ago. A friend of mine killed herself
her name was Tess Eisenminger

She was a brilliant actress. And could light up a room just by walking in. She had a smile and a familiarity about her that would make everybody feel like her best friend.

Well my passion used to be acting. Theatre.

And piano was another of myloves

But now whenever I near a stage.
Whenever I sit in front of a piano I can hardly press back the tears abd the feelings. I need to know what I can do short of counseling or therapy that could help me get over her.

Any ideas?

Answer #1

my best friend’s piano teacher, who she was very close to (she had lessons once a week every week every year since she was young), died recently, and for a long time, my friend couldn’t play the piano. she couldn’t even look at it without tearing up. my advice to her was just to keep on playing, because that’s what her teacher would have wanted. play strong; play with passion. play each piece like it’s a dedication. the spirit of your friend will always be with you. every time you act, act for her. every time you play, play for her. stay strong! I’ll be praying for you.

I know how ya feel Kameron, my best friend Malorie died January 8th this year. She died from leukemia… she had it since she was 8 years old… everytime I go pass the park by my house, I remember that, that’s one of the places we spent time together… it was our sadly unexpected last time seeing each other. Or the cemetary reminds me of her… I pass it everyday to get to school… there are so many things and memories that remind me of her… like the movie, Wild Hogs. She brought it over and we watched it together… now whenever I see that on T.V. or anything I get a tear or two or, okay more.

But my point is, no matter what… we will always have those little things that remind us of that special person, that meant a lot to us. And well I guess my suggestion would just to think of the good times you had together when you start thinking of her. Just remind yourself that she is in Gods hands now. She is safe and happy.

Good Luck and I know it’s really hard but you gotta be strong, I am going through the exact same thing as you right now… so I hope I helped you out some, Good Luck bud and just stay positive… besides she would want you to be happy anyway right? She sounds like she was a wonderful girl that had many people that loved her.

Im sorry for the pain that youo feel, but I can relate, I was in 8th grade when I lost my best friend(she was like my sister). She had leukemia,and bleeding of the brain. I still think of her ,all the times we shared. But all I know is all the achievments I have made the past years are for her! So when you walk on that stage,and you start to act, she will be watching you, so act for her. When you play the piano, shes there helping you, so play for her! Your true feelings are what make you successful in life, and dont be scared to let people know how you feel, so they can help ypou as well!

Hope I helped some! God Bless You In Your Journey To Recovery!

Answer #4

Your friend killed herself and not you. When you sit to you piano and “see” her smiling face, then you should smile back at her, because she needs smiles and not tears. The best what you may make for her soul or her memory is being happy in your life, and when she comes to your mind you should greet her with a smile. She wants you to do this.
