Yesterday I received the worst news of the loss of a dear, kind, supportive and selfless friend. We were kindred spirits but sadly our last contact was in 2021. I guess life just got in the way, however, I still regarded him as a friend and loved him dearly. I had no idea he was unwell, his passing was so unexpected and sudden. I have been consumed by grief since learning of his passing. I’m riddled with guilt for not maintaining the contact and I’m angry for him being taken so soon at the age of 53. The sadness I feel is coming from the pit of my stomach, at times I struggle to catch my breath, it is a sadness unlike any other I have experienced. He was so loved by all, I’m sure others had a more connected relationship with him and I’m ashamed of grieving for him the way I am because I’m questioning do I have that right given that we didn’t speak for 4 years leading up to his passing. My world has stopped and at times I’m struggling to function. I miss my dear friend and the thought of never seeing him again tears me apart. How I wish I’d taken steps during these four years to reconnect with him.
