Last year in August one of my best friends committed suicide. It's hard to face it sometimes and there's a lot I don't want to accept. I try to avoid thinking about it because it makes it all seem less real but there's always those moments where it just hits me that she's gone and won't be coming back. Those moments are always the worst and it takes a lot to hold it all in. My mom is angry at her for killing herself. But I can't bring myself to be angry with her, just sad.
Around the same time, my best friend who I knew since kindergarten blamed me for all her problems but instead of just talking to me and working things out, she has her mom tell me that I've been a bad influence on her and that I'm the cause for all of her actions. I had told her a while back to let me know if I ever say anything to hurt her or make her uncomfortable but she never said anything. Then out of the blue her mom send me an email saying that she thinks Rachel (the girl) should take a "break" from me, but I know what that really means and it hurt to have someone who was like another mom to me tell me that. Rachel hasn't spoken to me since then and I always wonder if she's feeling as bad as I am. There's a lot more to this story, but I don't know how to put it all down on here.
I just want to let both of them, so that it won't hurt so much anymore. But how do I? They both had a huge impact on my life and I feel like there's this big empty void in me now. I know it's impossible to fully heal from something like this. But how do I start letting go of the past? How do I recover from it?
