My boyfriend of over 3 years committed suicide on July 9th, and I am having trouble accepting his death. It is so difficult, because besides missing him in the present, I have so many memories of the past and a lack of hope for the future. I am having no problem accepting my own death, it is the death of others that is causing me so much grief and anxiety. He was only 20… so intelligent… so creative… and an extraordinary best friend/boyfriend…I feel as though I have lost my link to reality.

Difficult times
2 years ago
My boyfriend of 4 years took his life on Monday evening. He was only 20, and it has been a very difficult week. I have had this goal for a long time, but now it seems more like a necessity than a goal. I hate this intense grief, I miss him so terribly and cannot fathom that he is actually gone. I will never love someone the same way I loved this boy, and any advice or support on how to get through this would be greatly appreciated.
