Thank you for validating everything I’m feeling. I lost my friend two weeks ago. I didn’t even get to go to a funeral. I’m so sad and angry.

My husband was my best friend in the world. He died 7/6/2024. I love these KZfaq videos. It helps my healing.

I so agree with what you are saying…after my darling friend died (just over a year ago) and I was out walking - if I struck up a conversation with a stranger I’d bring her into it - every single time. I needed to hear myself talking about her, she was still with me. We only met each other back in 2006, we were both grandmothers. Our chats covered every subject - no holds barred. Never thought she would go just yet. I miss her candour, love, laughter. My friend.

Do you find it hard to know where to put that energy/love that you once gave her? I feel like I never know what to do with that time and I carry this huge box that I can never open but I have to carry it with me forever.

Thank you, I found this video very helpful. I lost my best friend two weeks ago and i miss her terribly. I loved her so much. I wish I could have helped her. She died suddenly.

My best friend died 15 years ago.. i still cry and miss him so much. When we met in college he went home and told his mom he finally had a sister and he called me Sissy.. he was the big brother i never had. Nobody understands the gaping hole in my soul, how i long to hear his laugh or say "it'll be alright" about whatever i was bothered with in the moment. I miss you David, my brother forever💜time changes nothing, my grief is never over. It just softened a bit. Hugs and love to all walking this awful lonely path.

I lost my best friend when we were 24. I mourned him for 10 years and felt crazy for that. No one understood our relationship and my loss. I’m 68 now and still miss him and think about him.

My really good friend Best friend died suddenly At end of Dec 2023. I as like many who knew him found later . I found out day of funeral. There is so many unresolved question . I will never get or being able to save good bye . Just shock .no closure

💔

My best friend of 18 years passed away from an aortic dissection last Thursday, and I don’t know how I am going to live life without him. I’ve lost my father in my adolescent years, my grandma in the pandemic and now my best friend. This grief doesn’t feel like the others though. It hurts in a place of my heart that I never knew even existed. Thank you for this video. It hasn’t even been a week and I’m already seeing who really cares. If my bff was my romantic partner or a family member, I feel like I would receive a little more sympathy than I am now. My heart is with all that are or have gone through the same.

Me and mom just lost our besits mine died drownin in a hot tub at age 6 and my mom's just died yesterday

My best friend passed away last fall. You are right on point. What do ya do when the husband moves on but you cannot. It’s like grief all over again and I think is what is wrong with ME?!

Thank you for this video, I can relate to so much of it

Thank you so much for this heartfelt video. My best friend of over 20 years died Aug 2023 after a very brief illness (2mths). I feel Like I’m struggling more even now almost six months later. I sympathize with everything you said💕 Especially when she was the one I always turned to and now that she’s gone, I try to think of how she would handle it if the roles were reversed. I just miss and love her so much! Thank you and I’m so very sorry for your loss. I totally get it. Much love to you❤

My friend just passed this past Sunday doesn't seem real...she didn't want to die I know did something way to much and that was how...so hard

Some do not understand the impact of the death of a close friend. We get more sympathy for family members and sometimes we are closer to a friend.

I'm here because I recently had a dream about my best friend who I knew for almost 30 yrs. He died almost 14 yrs ago and I believe I accepted it. But in this dream I was looking for him to show him the restaurant I found he would like. I woke up feeling so sad and my thoughts were no one else could appreciate it but him. When you grow together with someone you have your shared private jokes, almost your own language. Its lost when they leave.

I just found out my friend died today. Her husband sent me a text message. Thursday February 1st 2024. God I'm gonna miss that crazy lady

💔💔💔

Thank you so much for this. I have so much anxiety with my best friends bday coming up 4 days. She just passed 2 months ago. Im crushed, but life keeps going. This gave me motivation to celebrate and smile for her ❤🎉

Thank you so much. Just lost my best friend since the first grade. She would be celebrating her 40th this Sat 😢 She died tragically this last October. I've never experienced pain like this and don't feel anyone really understands. I loved her so much and have so many memories that were in our own sacred place in our hearts. Thank you for this post. It brought me so much comfort ❤

She is dying as we speak, she does not know if she wants to meet me. Our story is complicated, her friend raped me. I forgive her, but as of now on christmas day i dont know if i will meet her ever again.

My best friend Joey just passed away. He is my kindred spirit. I am so connected to him in so many levels and he's stronger than blood family. I just wanted to share that and thank you for this podcast. It really means a lot to me that you have this available for those who are grieving for their best friend.

This is just how I feel, I lost my best friend last year and the worst thing is that her family didn't even invite me to her funeral, they just went with it and excluded me, I realized over a post that Luisiana died, and now whenever I'm having a bad day people expect me to feel better by telling me she was not my sister or my mother. But she was like a sister to me, she was always there and was the only person I really trusted. I spent beautiful and wonderful five days by her side. I can't talk about her to anyone because they think I'm exaggerating and that I should just move on, but it's hard, and I can't help but feel like I'm betraying her when I feel happy or go through something which would have made us both happy. I guess I've not been able to fully mourn her.

My life ended November 8, 2023 when my son died. Im just here going through the motions of existence now. I dont anticipate true happiness ever again. And that is really sad.

my best friend Sean’s funeral is tomorrow. The last 4 years of knowing him have changed me immeasurably. He died one month ago, and its hard to accept that we won’t make new memories together. But I know that he needed peace and I pray he has it now.

I can't handle this pain

Your channel is beautiful. My best friend unalived herself Sunday evening. We've been best friends since we were kids. I keep picking up my phone wanting to text her, or waiting to see if she's messaged me back. I can't believe she's actually gone.

Never thought I'd be relating to this💔

I needed this so much! Thank you! So much of what you said resonates 💙

I lost my dad when i was 14, my daughter when I was 22, my brother when i was 36 and now my guy bestfriend just 9 days ago. Grief seems to bring up so many emotions. ✝️ My condolences to All here

My best friend passed away the year this video was aired. I have never recovered since then. Not sure if I may ever, but to know others have experienced despair as such as I, to this degree of everlasting internal and external sadness; reensuees me that our Heavenly reunion will be worth it when that day comes. The journey now is to not shorten my time I have left and instead, continue to live out her legacy as my soul friend would wish for me to do. Lovely video, I commend you for your strength.

Thank you so much for this video. I lost my friend a month ago and he was the support, light, and joy in my life. I really loved him, and feel this hopelessness and lack of passion for everything without him. I’m trying to share how he made me feel with the rest of the world and get back on track with my life again. I needed this validation. Thank you so much.

My best friend of 14 years died May 9th. Every single day I cry and miss her so much. It's torture and feels like this ache will never stop.

I dont know if this has helped me at all, but I do feel a bit better hearing this. My best friend Alex died and its really hard on me

💔Broken heart?, Sin G yc ya Baha ul abha, thats also A way to god's Mercy. 🛐🌈🌬️💗

Thank you so much for making this video. I lost my best friend a few days ago and I'm in the huge pain. By listening to your story, I feel validated a lot.

I’m 7 months in after losing my teenage son’s dad (ex husband but also my best friend for nearly 20 Years) I see my youngest and he’s looking more and more like his dad and it crushes my soul how unfair it feels that they have to live without him now.. I feel guilty for grieving so hard when they seem to be doing better than I am.. there isn’t a day that goes by that my chest isn’t aching from the pain and I wonder how much longer it’s going to last or if I’ll always hurt like this…

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It really goes far for people who are looking for resources which validate their own experiences, just like the video title says. I know for me it is similar, I had to put my grief on hold while I helped my Best friends widow deal with her own day to day activities, funeral arrangements, support. Even to this day I don't feel like my grief was validated, even though I had known my best friend for over 20 years. Him and his family (they are all gone now), played an integral part in my life but I felt as though I had the smallest claim for grief out of everyone (though internally it was the greatest claim). Thank you again for making this video. I hope people who need it can find it when they need to.

in a little over a month it will be five years since I lost my best friend. She was high and I sent her home in a cab. She later died that night. I still hold myself responsible for her dying, and everyone says the same thing, it's not your fault. You didn't make her do that, you could have been with her when it happened blah blah blah. I don't care. I still think it could have been different. I just feel so alone, guilty, sad and lonely constantly. She was only 27

I lost my best friend almost two years ago. I’m still grieving and I can’t seem to heal. It hurts so bad everyday. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has endured this type of loss. Keep your head up and don’t let the dead bury the living ✌🏾🕊️

Omw everything you gone through resonated with me. I lost my friend over a year ago and it hurt so bad😢 I've just been surpressing my grief most times and the few times it comes out I go through immence pain and grief 😭 it's hard😢

Thank you for this video it’s 632 in California and I really need those ❤

Thank you for sharing this video. I relate deeply to this after losing my best friend of 15 years so suddenly in 2019. The pain is still fresh and real. I feel like I should have come a long way already in my healing journey, but there are still incredibly difficult days where I feel so incredibly lonely and completely empty. I wear her loss like a missing ribcage. She was my safe place second to none, and we had our own unique universe where we held each other in utmost love, respect, and craziness. I miss that and want it back - in the same dimension it had been. I would love to be part of any support group that would validate this lifelong pain.

I came to KZfaq trying to find some solace for the grief that I'm feeling that nobody seems to understand. My name is Jess, so finding this video felt like my best friend Kristin reaching out to me. She died almost three months ago. We lived together and most of her stuff is still at my house so I can't escape the memories and the emotions that all of her things bring up for me. I often feel like her death was my fault because of a complicated series of events that ended with me calling 911 later than I should have and for a different reason than what was actually needed. I miss her so much every day and it feels like even my boyfriend doesn't really want me to talk about it anymore. I often resent her boyfriend because he received an incredible outpouring of support when she died and it felt like I just had to tamp down what I was feeling and move on. Thank you for making this channel and these videos, I hope it brings you and the people watching some relief.

I lost my best friend Feb 21st of this year. He was the sweetest, most gentle soul I will ever know. I am completely lost without him. I love you Kevin.
