There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It was hell to go through what I went through. I didn't know I had so many friends. Many people gave a damn about my situation. They helped cure me.
I've experienced several different healing methodologies over the years - counseling, self-help seminars, and I've read a lot - but none of them will work unless you really want to heal.
Any psychologist will tell you that healing comes from honest confrontation with our injury or with our past. Whatever that thing is that has hurt us or traumatized us, until we face it head on, we will have issues moving forward in a healthy way.
You just don't heal that easy unless you're young.
It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.
Friendships that don't fit my life anymore have faded away, and new ones have come in.
You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.
I lost my brother when he was 30, and that was devastating for me. I don't know if I will ever get over it.
Things heal. Bad stuff happens, but you go on. Life takes care of it.
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
