Dealing with losing friends?

[Fait]

So recently without naming anyone because that’s wrong but I’ve lost a close friend and it has been extremely difficult, Which is why I don’t understand why people only care about the romantic break ups and why I’m making this thread to shed light that losing friendships hurts too.

But has anyone else lost close friends in their life, let’s shed light on it

Sadly a good, well close but not close friend? Killed himself via suicide (at least we think he did) by jumping off a bridge one late night, didn't find his body until the next spring.

Hard on everyone, I was planning on hanging out with him more since he came back to town but oh well

I’m sorry to hear that my deepest condolences to you, his family and other friends

And yeah whether it’s through a friendship termination or death they’re both hard to deal with but death is slightly worse mainly because we truly don’t know where they are but with a friendship termination you know where they are but you just can’t talk to them, I know Christian’s, atheists and etc.. will get on this but it’s true everything spiritual is based on beliefs until we die and can 100% confirm this I’m agnostic.

@Fait It's good to not name names. I don't believe in slandering someone, no matter what. I'm sorry you lost a friend! But you do make a point, people focus on romance more.
@Demon_skeith I'm sorry to hear of your loss! I grew up with deaths & they never become easier.
I’ve lost several throughout these years. Not to death mind you. Sometimes people just part ways through no fault of anybody. People change, they grow. What has worked before no longer is working now. I do try to treasure what we had & focus on those parts instead of dwelling on the should’ve’s that tend to go round & round in our heads afterwards.

Well, that was one. I lost another friend to a religion cult and doesn't even talk to his family anymore.

I have few friends in life, and I swear they grow smaller by the year.

When you first lose the friend you are going to be angry and say stuff that’s normal but after a few days you have to start letting go and healing, Slandering people is just a form of harassment it’s wrong, Mine was a friendship breakup too but I do agree it’s not silly to focus the good that you had with this individual then focusing how toxic it ended. It’s not easy to deal with that’s for sure, I’m still slightly hurt all though it’s not as intense as it was so the healing process slowly does work.

I follow Christianity but if any religion is telling you to cut positive people off then that’s a red flag,

Tell me about them growing smaller 7 years ago I didn’t wanna have many friends but ended up accidentally meeting someone online and that ended badly and now I wished I would of listened to my past self, 90% of friendships do fold scientifically haha
