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.

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.

death is only the beginning
he has become more powerful than you can ever imagine

write him a letter or make him a video of your rambling goodbye to him.

then delete it.....

Remember the good times you had with the dude and move on...

time...only time my friend.

no secret formula, everyone grieves in their own way, time.

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.

Keep active, maybe moreso. As you do this, the past will seem further away. If its enough of an issue, then seeking therapy helps.
