    Thank you again @DonnerKebab I appreciate your messages last night/early hours this morning. Wish I had a friend like you in real life 💛

    @Lottie5433 you deserve a lot better than a friend like me in real life. You genuinely are an amazing, resilient and strong person, never forget that.

    Love finding out my friends past away 👍🏻

    Even worse when you find out you were near her when she ended her life…won’t say anymore…

    @River I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm here to talk if you want, but there is truly nothing you could have done in that situation. Close proximity doesn't make any difference whether it happens or not. It simply takes people by surprise and often people have no idea. The most happy people and the ones we least expect are often the ones who are the most hurt. Think of Robin Williams. nobody had any clue. I know this is no consolation, but we're here for you river always. And i'm so so sorry your hurting from it right now.

    Thank you @DonnerKebab its just crappy timing 🥺😭
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @River I don't think there is ever a good time for it. Crappy timing indeed with everything already going on for you. How have you been with it all? I know the counselling session earlier was shit for you.

    @DonnerKebab been crying in my room not just because of my friend but because of other things

    @River i totally understand. The stuff you've had to go through already in the past leaves you struggling and feeling exhausted, and then with everything else going on now, from college, to family, to losing friends, to the majority of helplines being utter crap, it's rather cruel isn't it. There's no shame in crying. it's better to get it all out than bottle it up.
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @eylah you are so much braver than you know. Reaching out is hard and it's brutal to get a poor excuse for a helpline worker when it took so much to reach out. I'm so sorry your going through all that and the thunder and lightning is just making it worse. I'm here if you want to talk. You deserve this space to vent about everything or anything you want friend. You're special, and amongst friends here, don't ever forget that.
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @shannon_164 you are an absolute legend as per usual on here. Just a friendly reminder for you in case you forgot :)

    I hope that you were able to get a proper response from the mix that addressed everything for you

    i just used childline's 1-2-1 chat and i also phoned them up today. they were really helpful in listening to what i had to say and stuff like that. i just spoke to them about wanting kids at a young age. its unfortunate that some people have bad experiences with helplines. i think its just dependent on the type of helpline and the volunteer you talk with.

    @toffuna101 I hope things went well for you with it all

    @River Amazing stuff river. People tend to think that mourning should go a certain way, throw a flower and that's that, and you should just go with the crowd, like i assume your family is doing, but mourning in your own unique way, that's true love right there. For example, I usually pour out a glass of whiskey for my grandma and leave it where we scattered her ashes 5 years on. It was her all over. I'm glad you found your special way to honour and remember your grandma. That's the best way to remember there is.
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @River just read the tribute and watched it. it's honestly beautiful. It's easy to see how much she meant to you. That is true remembrance. Not a takeaway and a group party and family get together, but something that truly represents what she meant to you.
  • RiverRiver Community Connector Posts: 4,158 Community Veteran
    Thank you @DonnerKebab <3 i think I might also do a boards thread like a letter to her

  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @River that's a good idea. Do whatever it is that you feel honours who she was to you. Nothing else matters. The normal expectations of what people normally do, does not matter. All that matters is the bond between you and her, and what you feel represents it best. For me, whiskey. Possibly boxing gloves if i can get some in a few days on the 5th anniversary (i'll explain at a later date but we called her "iron Mary Tyson" like "iron Mike Tyson" 😂). It doesn't matter how unorthodox. Just do you and her, and screw anybody else and what they think.

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    @River are you able to just go into your room and just take a bit of time out away from the rest of your family? The last thing you need right now is them causing you more stress or difficulties right now
  • RiverRiver Community Connector Posts: 4,158 Community Veteran
    @DonnerKebab still in my room I woke up 15 mins ago in tears :/

    @River It is going to be a really hard day for you. But as you said, she'll be looking down today, and she will be proud of how much you love her. Go through today and honour her in your own way, that's all that matters River. We're here throughout the day to talk.
