    A friend killed themself year ago today, and its seriously ****ing with my head can't get it out of my mind. It seems like life is passing by and i'm being left behind. I find that i'm still asking questions that I think should be out of my head by now. It's almost as if the grieving process isn't happening at all. Is this normal?

    you need to talk to someone about this, and stop trying to think it out for yourself.

    Start with a samaritans helpline or similer, if it still does not help, look for help from a therapist or phychiatrist.

    It sounds like you are having problems coming up with the answers and understanding the bigger picture, a professional can help you get them.

    Here's a link that will help you find the answers.

    A good friend of mine killed himself a few years ago, I know in my personal experience I didn't even start the grieving process proper til the first year was over, shock and anger can delay sadness and acceptance for a very long time. Talk to your family, friends (esp those who knew your friend) and a professional if you feel you need help getting past it.

    The b@stard about suicide is the fact that it was avoidable at some point and people beat themselves up trying to discover the point where it all went wrong for their loved one, the truth is that point is known only to the dearly departed and could have occurred recently or ages ago.

    I truly hope you feel better soon

    A family member (in his late-forties with a wife and lovely family) killed himself recently. It's the most shocking and devasting thing to comprehend.

    Don't feel any shame in seeking out professional help to deal with this.
