I am so sorry for your loss, Sandy. Also sorry for your friends not being as supportive as you need. Glad you are here, though. No one can fully understand what you're feeling, even if they've experienced a similar loss, but I believe you will find support here. I do understand feeling numbness. That's the hardest time for me. I would rather feel anything else, than numbness. I also speak to my love during the day and at night. I gives me comfort and I do believe he's aware of what I feel, say and do. Even now.

Hey Sandy, my condolences for your loss.  I too have suffered a loss do to suicide and like you we didn't have a good relationship but we had one together.  I never abandoned her despite the fact she once left me for another man(that relationship lasted less than a month). I always kept my door and my heart open for her and she always came back. Her loss is hard to take but it get better everyday or so it seems.

Most people here will tell you there isn't a timeline for grieving and you can take all the time you need.  We are here to support you.
