A good friend of mine passed away today and a

I'm so sad. And also, even though I took an Ativan, the panic continues to ensue. I can't breathe my way out of it. Well I never can but I just can't get out of it

Hey mandieo,

Sorry for your loss. Your emotions are normal since you lost a friend...don't blame yourself for having feelings Smile. Just take the time to mourn your friend and understand that he/she is okay. I have lost two friends over the year and the emotions never get easier.

Hang in there!

Mike

This is an emotional trigger for sure, allow yourself to grieve and let the panic pass through your body. Only time will heal the pain of your loss. Then you will have the memories of that friendship to cherish.

Thanks all you guys. I just wish I could grieve and not have the panic reaction. She was so dear to me. Handled my divorce for free. Held my hand when it was hard to sign the papers.

As an analogy from The Last Samurai, tell us how she lived?

mandieo,

I am so sorry. It is okay to feel sad.

I don't know what to say to help you feel better but allow yourself to feel how you feel and know that we are all here for you.

I am sure that your Friend would want you to be okay and remember her and cherish the wonderful memories that the two of you shared.

How sweet that she helped you go thru your divorce. What a kind friend.

She will live in your heart forever mandieo. {Hugs} to you! Wink

My heart is with you mandieo. Stay strong. Maybe reminisce if you have some old pictures or videos of the two of you together. Think of the happy times and just be in the moment. Hugs to you ().
