You stabilize after a week or two and are able to move on, but the pain stays buried in your heart, occasionally letting itself back out. On the bright side, mourning now and then is healthy.
Hugs for both of you
I was basically referring to a friend of mine I had in high school who died one day suddenly of an aneurysm, when I was 14. Even though we weren't super close, I was definitely closer to her than a lot of people as she was one of the few friends I had and was in my group, so we hung out a lot and she was very close with some of my best friends - the impact was definitely felt and the suddenness of it, too, was something that stuck with me for a long time.
Nina went through a similar experience shortly thereafter and I ended up reaching out to her, back in 2013. That's kind of how we became friends, actually.
But thank you a lot for the well-wishes.
I appreciate it. Death is hard, especially when it's unexpected and you're young and you're dealing with a lot of other things. But I think it teaches you a lot about your own frailty as well. I think, if nothing else, it encouraged me to go out and live my life to the fullest, which is something I desperately needed at that point in my life.
. I hope my partner approves though.
