Back in 2002, I lost someone who I was very close to to suicide. I was very upset and depressed at the time and really haven't talked about it much since then. The anniversary of June 8th came and went this year and I really didn't think about it. The last few days it has come to mind and has really bothered me. Last night I took out a journal and wrote over 5 pages of how I felt, what he did, what he meant to me, how I felt about everything, etc. And I feel like I got everything out and I feel better now. I am surprised it took me this long to do it, but I am the type of person who keeps things inside for a long time. I can actually say RIP Samuel Aaaron M. and be fine with it now for now.

That is great that you were able to write it your journal. I'm glad it helped you process your feelings. Suicide is such a desvasting thing for family and friends to deal with.
