Coping 

  
Many of you have emailed and left comments. I have not had the ability to respond. Every time I think of the tragic accident and the loss of my friend, I begin to cry again. However, I wanted everyone to know that, I am coping with the loss. It will take some time. My friend was such a major part of my life, I just feel a void right now that can’t be filled. I don’t think it can ever be filled, but I am trying to focus on the happy memories and what a wonderful and loving person he was. I met with a counselor today and will be having weekly counseling sessions for the foreseeable future. It’s something I’ve needed to do for a while to deal with some of my own issues but I’d never felt the need because my friend was the best counselor anyone could ever have. There was nothing we couldn’t tell each other. Talking about him and getting to know some of his other friends better has also helped. I still burst into tears, but I can at least speak without sobbing and my appetite has finally returned. So, I am coping the best I can. I’m still not up to blogging right now, but I felt I should just give a quick update on how I was doing.
