So i had this childhood friend i grew up with him ever since i was a lad. We were inseperable Even has we grew into our teenage years. and on July 1st 2008 on his 18th birthday he passed away. He was hit by a stray bullet while he was on his way to church. It was the most painful thing that i have EVER experienced in my whole life. I'm not trying to be cocky but i'm a pretty popular guy. I have a'lot of friends from both genders but yet deep down inside i still feel lonely. Is it normal that i still miss my Best friend?

    It's normal. I doubt you will ever stop missing him. You still need to live your life to the best though.

    I loss my best friend when we were 18 years old i'm 39 today and i still miss her she died in an accident canoeing. I got married and had a child all the things she has missed out doing, i go to her grave when i can; i think from the state of it i'm the only one now; I have a round trip of 100miles, her family still live in the city! You will always remember and at times miss the bond or a secret to share. Key moments have been hard bridesmaid at my wedding i only had children and my flowers were took to her grave with some of the cake, when i had my child and the morning after when no grandparents or husband turned up to take me home I thought how i could always rely on her, (we both had horrific abusive childhoods and clung to each other) please go to your doctor and seek counselling, so you can come to terms and understand your feelings, but always remember the good times and find a way that you can spend time reflecting and making your life as full as possible you have to live your life, noone will replace him and you would not want that, but a good friend would not want you sad but to enjoy your life and remember them in small ways that mean something to the pair of you. I am truly sorry for your best friends death, it's a grief that we are not taught to expect.

    I think it's completely normal. My best friend passed away almost a year and a half ago and I know I'll always miss her. I still feel lonely every so often because she's not here anymore. No matter how many friends I could ever have, no one can replace her. I'm sure you feel the same about your best friend. Have you talked to anyone about how you feel? A trusted friend or relative? It could help. I'm sorry for your loss. It's a shame when the good people die so young.

    Yep it's totally normal.

    I'd think it was abnormal if you didn't miss him.
