A female United States age 30-35, *! writes:

Today is one year since my friend, Taylor, committed suicide.That day changed my life and affected me in so many ways. I couldnt eat right or sleep right and picturing how she died overplayed in my head for so long. I had nightmares every single night and it really messed me up. It affected the whole entire school. I miss her so much.

And i know right now she is in heaven watching over me and everyone that knew her.

Taylor is my hero. NOT for the shocking gesture, but for who she was during her life. She was the sweetest girl ive ever known. She would always be there for anyone and everyone who needed help.

I love you Taylor. And miss you so much.

Fly high.

Tisha-1 agony auntOh, M, my heart goes out to you. I think that if you know Taylor is watching over you now, she also knows how many people loved her, including you. She will live on in your memory.

You sound like a lovely person and I wish you and everyone involved healing and peace as time goes by.

M! agony auntthank you everyone.

it is a really hard thing to accept

but over the year ive realised that shes in a better place now

and i hope shes happy up there.

just sometimes i wish i could of done something.

cause she would always talk about how she hated her life but i thought she was just having a bad day and that she would feel better the next day.

but thats kind of why i joined this site.

i want to help other people with their problems before its too late because they dont realise how many people love them. And how it affects everyone around them. Even people they dont know.

but once again thank you for all your responses, it helped.

Awww...you poor thing! And poor Taylor too!

Thats such a sad thing to happen - especially to someone who you described as your hero and the sweetest girl you ever met.

Good luck with the rest of your life. x x x

I just wanted to let you know that I understand what you are going through. When I was 15 years old, 2 of my close friends commited suicide, within 3 months of each other. I am now 20 and can honestly say that there hasn't been a day that has went by that I havn't thought of them. I know that empty feeling of confusion and anger, and to be honest, it really never goes away, but it does get better and easier with time. It's important to focus on who your friend was as a person; not how she died. Someone once told me that "the person only died 1 time, but you are making it happen over and over in your mind." I hope that made sense. You should really talk to someone about it, whether it's family members, friends or a therapist. It helped me.

You are always going to think of your friend for the rest of your life. But as time passes, you will start to remember the good memories more than the bad. I hope this helped a little.
