    How do you cope with someone you love takes their own life, because they feel you would be better off without them?

    You can’t really cope with the suicide of a loved one, it’s always there with you, and nothing can make it better and you can never really accept it.

    I think for me, if anything, there was just a shift. You are more aware of the concept of time and the fragility of life. The pain never wanes.


    You're drawing a lot of misguided conclusions. Coping doesn't mean forgetting the person. It means working through the experience to get back to a healthy mindset. It means dealing with the emotions and the loss so that the pain hurts less.

    Having experienced a friend's death I can say that you never stop missing the person, but that's not the point. The point is how to do continue on once that person is gone.
