I am reading this book for a book report at school, and it is unbelievable....it takes you from the moment you get the news...through the first hours,days...weeks...and it's creepy how exact it is.....it was so head on..that I cried alot through the first few pages...brought back alot of feelings, but it also has all those questions I ask myself over and over...and they answer alot of them, so anyone who has lost someone suddenly...I would recommend this book!!
it also talks about losing friends...during times like this...and how it's hard for people to be around you if your sad, it says some people literally want you to get over it....and if your sad that makes them sad....and how you will lose touch with some friends....which by the way I have been very lucky there...but there was one part in the book, where it talks about what you need out of a friend during this time, and I wanted to post this for my best friend Jeniece....who only God knows what this girl has had to put up with me....over the last almost 2 years, and as my bff she would never admit to it...but I know it's not always been easy...but she fits this to a tee....and every time I read it..it makes me cry...cause this is you girl...
NEEDED: A strong, deep person wise enough to allow me to grieve in the depth of who I am, and strong enough to hear my pain without turning away.
I need someone who believes that the sun will rise again, but who does not fear my darkness. Someone who can point out the rocks in my way without making me a child by carrying me. Someone who can stand in thunder and lightning and believe in a rainbow.
that's her exactly!!! Love ya girl...
