Child loss, a life changing experience

First post- 9/22/20

5 years ago today I lost my best friend of 20 years, since that night my life has not been the same.

I have completely changed as a person, as a son, as a brother, and as a friend. It feels as I’ve been living in another dimension of my life which may be comparable to having a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

I haven’t accepted or acknowledged that this is real, I haven’t talked about it, do I need to?

Be safe on your journey. There has to be another reason to survive with life, not against life. Like rowing a boat upstream, it ain't easy. Please keep reaching out. Talk, don't talk. ease your weary mind and find peace. Even if you can hold onto few moments of calm simple peaceful quite simplicity for the mind, it'll help step by step. One step at a time, one foot in front of the other is sometimes all you can do but say it outloud, one foot in front of the other.

Best of health for you and yours.
