So it's been roughly two weeks since I last tried to contact my ex and it didn't go over well, obviously. Since then I haven't reached out in any way and neither has he. I've been handling it pretty well up until the past few days. I'm not sure why but I've just been extremely sad and have been missing him a lot. I know it's normal to feel like this but I'm trying not to say anything to him so I decided to come here.

 

Yesterday was my brother's birthday who I lost to suicide last April and my ex knows all about it and has been there for me through most of the healing process with that. It's been extremely hard for me not to run to him because that is my first instinct. I haven't been handling any of it very well these last few days. I haven't even been able to talk to one of my male friends, one of the only friends I actually have, because I just get this overwhelming feeling of guilt for whatever reason. I just wish I could stop missing him (my ex) as much as I do. I don't know. I feel so overwhelmed and confused about everything. :/

Hey, its hard but hang in there. It will get better without a doubt. Anniversary dates are the worst being birthday, xmas or in your very sad position of your brothers passing.

 

It get better, just try to keep busy, read book, watch movie, better still go for a walk.

Hello

 

Sorry about your brother . I'd say keep no contact it is best in the long run . Take care of yourself in this difficult time and you will come out the other end .

Sorry about your brother, of course that would be a tough day! Let yourself be sad but remember why it's over and know that it will get easier. I miss my ex sometimes so much it hurts inside. Sometimes it's easy to forget the bad times when you get lost in pleasant memories.hang in there.
