Open wound

[datahawk]

I thought I'd begun to heal. I thought the pain had started to subside. Instead, I'm reminded that the wound is still there. The pain at the loss of a friend who will no longer be there. The reminder that someone made a very tragic mistake, taking a life and destroying his own. I may forgive him one day, that day will not be any time soon.

Thank you hon, I appreciate that. I don't like feeling or being weak, but I constantly feel at a loss with this situation.

You are one of the Strongest people I know.
It's perfectly natural to feel that way right now because you are helpless to change anything that has happened.

Thank you hon, that means a lot.

I'm just not used to being one of those people that dwell, or can't get over something.

Im the same way... it took me almost a year to get over the death of my Friend Rick... hell I think i kept the email that I got from his partner when he told me he passed away.. for a couple years after he died.

I was thinkin' about you today and wondering how you were holding up. I had to break the news to my cousin who used to work with him about what happened and it hit him pretty bad and opened my wounds up too again.

*hugs*

Aww hon, that's sweet, but don't worry about me. I'll be fine, can't you tell from my post. :P *hug* But thanks for the thoughts, they mean a lot to me.

But the real question, how are you holding up?

[jeshala.livejournal.com]

Pretty okay. Touch and go. Needs moar social life.

The wound will be there for a very long time to come. It will get better over time, but it will always ache at least a little bit.

When you can, work on forgiveness for the driver (but never forget). This is not for the benefit of that driver that wrecked far more than 2 lives, but for yourself to be able to move on and live the kind of life that would honor your friend.

I know I can and will forgive this man one day, I'm just not ready for it yet. When it was still possible that it was just a very traggic accident, I was having a better time dealing with it. Knowing this guy made this traggic mistake that took a life and ruined his own... just much harder to forgive as quickly. Pat would have wanted it, wouldn't have wanted us to hate this guy...

This really sucks. Knowing that it was just a tragic accident sort of helped with the healing process. Now with the current news, it just sliced right through again. :/

I'm completely understand, I was exactly there with you. When the likihood of being drunk got less and less, I had an easier time just working through it. But...just so many bad calls on this guys part. One day, one day I will forgive. Not today, just not today. *hug*
