I lost my best friend

Losing a friend
1

My best friend died 15 days ago and i have never felt so much pain in my life. He meant everything to me. We grew up together and he was there througout everything I’ve been through, including homelessness due to DV. He was the one person i could truly be myself around. I love him so much and the loss is just too much for my mind to comprehend. I hate how everyone else goes on about their life as though nothing has happened. I want the world to stop and mourn the loss of one of the best people on the planet. I want to scream at everh stranger that they have no idea what I’ve lost. I cry myself to sleep every night and then do what i can to suvive the day. I dont think the pain will ever go away. It was so traumatic, he died very suddenly in front of me and i can still live that moment every second. My arms ache with the need just to hold him one more time. I can suvive without him because i have to, but i will never truly live again
