My Best Friends Departure

This poem is beautiful and helped me a lot. My best friend committed suicide after dropping out of highschool a week before. He died 11-8-11 and I've been devastated. He loved poetry and he was soooo good at it. I miss him sooo much. He was only 16 and was the nicest person. But this poem is really beautiful.

My brother committed suicide, And it's been 35 years since he went away and I still feel like it was yesterday. God Bless you and your family and bring you all through this difficult time.. Your poem has touched my heart, thank you for sharing..

My cousin passed away two years ago, a few days later after a suicide attempt. I loved him so very much. When I was going through depression myself he helped me feel better. Now that he is gone I still wonder how I never saw the signs. I still talk about times with him like they were yesterday and he will be there tomorrow but this poem helped me see that he is always with me. Thanks for sharing such beautiful work.

My brother took his own life after jumping off the 11th floor apartments where he lived this happened on the 09/11/2010. I miss him so much because he meant a lot to me and he was with me a couple of days earlier. His death brought so much grief to my family and it remains fresh today. I have gone through so many emotions and felt like what's the point in anything. I had to deal with repatriating his body to South Africa so that my parents and young brother could see him for the last time. I couldn't attend the funeral because I couldn't afford to travel at the time and this made things worse for me.
I am a mental health nurse and I feel guilty that I never picked up anything from him. He left notes to all of us but it only raised more questions and he isn't here to answer them.
