I just found on the internet a friend died last year. He had a shady past and I had somewhat broken off the friendship, but I am in pain. How does one deal with this type thing..

Sorry for your loss, Longball.
I don't have any advice on how to deal with your situation, but if you made it through a year without knowing your friend was dead you can make it through the next few days now that you know. GL to you.Comment -

Make a drink, play some relatable music you had with him, grieve a night or two & then get on with life. You didn’t think about him for hundreds of days consecutively you will be fine, don’t do anything stupid.Originally posted by LongBall52Comment -
death is only the beginning
he has become more powerful than you can ever imagineComment -
write him a letter or make him a video of your rambling goodbye to him.
then delete it.....Comment -
Remember the good times you had with the dude and move on...Comment -
time...only time my friend.
no secret formula, everyone grieves in their own way, time.Comment -
there are family i stopped talking to who are basically dead to me (not my choice sadly). if/when they pass it will still bother me cause of the good times we had.
when my grandma passed in june 2008 it was the toughest death i have had to face so far. i have no answer. time does heal i guess cause you get used to life without that person.
really, i don't know if that is healing or if that is just adjusting.Comment -
Keep active, maybe moreso. As you do this, the past will seem further away. If its enough of an issue, then seeking therapy helps.Comment
