I know what you are dealing with.  My BFF, my little sister, died unexpectedly five years ago.  It still hurts that I "didn't get to say goodbye."  That should be the title of a book on grief.  I know you want to pick up the phone and hear her voice.  Can you do that with her message on her answering machine?

 

You will miss her everday but the pain should be less raw in time.  Talk about her whenever you can.  If we mention our lovedone's name, I think it keeps them "alive" for those left behind.

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your best friend - the other half that made a part of you who you are.

 

If you're comfortable with this, try "speaking" to her while cooking or going about other chores - speak to her spirit - just casually.  Start with, "You know, _____, I really miss you so much and I'm really angry that you're not here any more," and take it from there.  Or, perhaps writing down such thoughts in a journal will help.

 

In any case, it will take some time.  Remember all the good times, laughs and highlights of so many years of friendship.  You have a wealth of them, which makes you "rich" in many ways.

 

(Wish I knew your address, for I'd send you a grieving shawl Monday.)

 

Will be thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers.

Re: My best friend was killed in a car accident.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I, too, just lost my best friend of over 30 years in February.  It was also sudden.  She wasn't feeling good and weht to the ER on a Thursday and by Tuesday, she had passed away.  In January, I lost my cat of 16 years, and in February, I lost my other cat of 17 years.  In April, I just put my last male cat of 17 years down, (litter mate to the one who passed in February), and it's just killing me.  It has been very difficult for me and I too, am hoping that time will heal me.  It's just very difficult since I spoke to my best friend on a daily basis for so long.  I am just praying that nothing else bad comes my way.

So sorry for your loss. Words cannot describe what you are going through. It will take time so they say in life but only you can get through this. Try to keep busy and remember your friend with love and in time joy.

It will gradually get less painful.  Lost my BFF of 32 years.  She died of cancer.  Only her husband knew it was terminal.  It breaks my heart she didn't want anyone thinking of her differently.  Remember the good times.

@gulf coast girl, there is no pain on earth like the pain of losing a loved one.  It just hurts so bad and you can’t escape it.

 

And do expect something from others - compassion and words of comfort - it’s what is being offered to you here.
