My friend is sick and may die

LegacyUser

As per title, my friend is on life support and may die. She is a very good friend though I haven't seen her for about 3 years what with us both travelling, but she is one of the ones that you know will be a lifelonger (hopefully!) and talk pretty regularly even if by facebook.

But after news of her massive misfortune, because I think I have so many new things to think about at the moment, I am just pushing it right out of my head ad not thinking about it.
When I first heard I nearly got sick, then pushed it to the back of my mind as I am in a very new state of circumstances. Obviously I thought about it all the time but I haven't considered it as I don't know how well I would do (from past experience)

But now that it is the weekend, I've been drinking on my own to think on it but amn't feeling much, it seems to unreal. There has been no real "event", and as she is abroad there is no way for me to visit.

I feel a little cold for not really giving a f*ck tbh, but I'm presuming that this is because iis still so unreal and I still haven't seen it face to face. It began with no hope of recovery and now a decent chanc of a "normal life" whatever tf that means but I think until such time as I encounter my friend it may be just words

I may have answered myself here, but needed to put it down. Maybe I sm cold but when I'm thinking of my mate now I'm just laughng at all the craic we ad, rather than what's happening now. Cos that doesn't mean much to me at the moment. Though I'm waiting for a crash and burn but these things can get better

Maybe I amn't to great if I wrote this f*ckin message ha :pac:

Could you tell us where she's living now?

If she lives in England it should be easy enough to make it to her as you can get 40 euro flights (return and arrive) from Dublin.

Also what other things hav you got going on in your life? If its exams or something then no your not a jerk for losing all your time.

Denying/ignoring/running away from a horrific situation is human nature.

If she's on life support then there's probably no good in going to see her but if you know her family then it might help you to get in touch with them.

It probably won't feel real to you until you see her yourself. Until then it's just empty words. You rationally understand their significance but it hasn't clicked in your head that this is something that is really happening. If she lives in a nearby country it might be worth trying to visit. If not, hope that the positive speculations are true and that she pulls out of it ok.
