Yesterday was the birthday of one of my close friends, Sarah, who took her own life last year. She would have been 20. Its been almost a year and a half that she has been gone but its not getting any easier.

I'm so sorry for your pain and sadness. Does it help to talk more about it?

Did Sarah bring out some special light in you? Connecting with yourself is one way to keep her spark alive.

I don't really talk about her that much so I'm not really sure. We related a lot to each other with what we went through and were able to bond so quickly so when I lost her it made it so much harder to deal with.

Some days it feels like she never left. Then other days I feel like she had been gone for ten years.

I am sorry for your loss. I have a friend who took her life in 2010 and it is such a tragedy, she was a wonderful person.
