My sympathy goes out to you - what a terrible waste. He hated you drinking though - and would not want you to pick up because of him. Prayers for you to be comforted.

I'm so sorry you are going through such terrible grief. It's so heartbreaking when someone ends their own life. So many confused emotions.

Please try and bear the pain without alcohol. Think of your dear friend who didnt like how you lost your true self through drinking.
Strength to you.

I'm sorry that you are experiencing this kind of pain. Please take care of yourself. As others have said, honor his memory through your own sobriety.

Peace to you.

The loss of a loved one is truly overwhelming; words are inadequate. I hope that you find comfort from the support of your friends and from those of us here at SR.

I am sorry, Mountainman, to learn of the tragedy in your life.
