When dealing with such an upsetting and challenging situation you can ask yourself ‘Should I be feeling like this?’. The truth is there is no normal way to be feeling under these circumstances.
When dealing with someone taking their own life there are going to be a lot of emotions that you are going to experience some of them are;
Denial - You’re not going to be able to believe that they have done this and that the person you knew and loved wouldn’t have been so selfish to do this.
Confusion - A lot of people will be asking ‘why?’ as they won’t be able to understand why they have done this and why couldn't they come to me? Why couldn’t they have stuck it out and we all could have helped? But with this you will tend to find you won’t ever get the answer to these questions you have.
Anger - You will feel angry a lot of the time as you wont be able to understand why they wouldn't just speak to you. Also how could they put you through this pain, leave you alone to deal with the heartache and to pick up the pieces.
If you are starting to struggle with the situation I would recommend that you seek out help. As just speaking to someone and be listening to you can really be a huge help and help you to air off things which you have been keeping in for such a long time. However, the best way to deal with the situation is to try and accept the situation. But most importantly try to get on with normal day to day tasks such as washing and going out with friends. This is what will make the difference and help you to accept the situation.
Don’t ever question how you're feeling as everyone deals with situations in a different way. However, if you start to feel as though you could be a danger to yourself or anyone you need to contact your local GP.
