Loosing A Friend Who was like a Brother

How does1 mend a broken heart when someone he cared for deeply was taken early in life. Although it has been since June when my best friend passed of heart failure. I wonder why that the good1s had to be taken. Now everyday I am ooking to a better day but feel empty inside and lost. I try hard to be strong but I will admit I become weak and break down. Will I ever find someone like that again who I would trust with my life do anything for knowing he would do the same. Why do the good die young?

I know how you feel. My ex and I remained as each other's best friend after we stopped being lovers. Last year he was diagnosed with ALS and passed away in January of this year. He was1 of the best guys that walked this earth. He is gone and the bad apples are still here. It's hard to understand.

Simple answer thats not so simple to follow. Basically put, cherish the good memories, try to forget the bad1s, and live in the moment, for the future. Dont live in the past. Having lost friends myself, I am all too familiar in this. How would your friend feel to hear you're holding up on your side of the deal because of their absence? Do you really think they would want you to feel miserable? You need to stop living in the past and move on. Grieving over1s loss is a temporary thing, its not meant to be used as a crutch to hang onto. again...Live IN THE MOMENT...FOR THE FUTURE. You LEARN FROM THE PAST, aint supposed to be living in it. Cant gain much ground when you're in reverse covering the roads you already been on my friend.

I have a friend who is like a brother to me. We love each other, but we cannot engage in sexual acts. He is married and he accepted my sexuality. I told him how I feel about him and he doesn’t want to go that route with me. Since I was turned down, it is a major let-down and it is almost like losing a best friend. I love him but I cannot have him. I could probably write a book about him.

It isnt easy, loss never is. I lost3 friends, my sister, both my parents,2 horses and my dog all in 18 months.... then I lost my 15 year relationship.... ya, sometimes life sucks. But moving on doesnt mean forgetting. If the past is still holding your hand then no1 in the present or future can take it. It is okay to move forward, doesnt have anything to do with remembering the past. It is possible to love equally as much, more than1 person, different times different places in your life.
