Losing a Best Friend
(In Any Capacity)

There isn't a solution to losing your best friend.
The solution lies within learning how to cope, *accepting feelings* and understanding them.

It needs to be understood that hurting is okay, understanding the process may come with pain, also understanding that despite how much it sucks, eventually that void closes on its own, and it's okay to talk about why it hurts in the meantime. (Will be talking about my own feelings and discoveries.)

The issue lays within the emotions.
- Confusion as to how to work through them
-Being overwhelmed
-Someones who's such a big part of your life leaving suddenly, having unclear feelings.

Sadness

Resentment

Anger

Confusion

My spoken word doesn't surround a clear solution or
fix for feelings, it surrounds comfort in the form of
understanding the feelings, and giving SOME level
of assurance that it's okay for people not to be healed yet,
trusting that it'll happen, and also hurting because they KNOW
it will happen, because it IS difficult and it's important to grieve people who have been lost. I go into further detail about my ideas in my 2nd flowchart, so maybe take a skim through that. :)

The sadness I want to touch on generally surrounds the fact that they hold memories, and knowing that there's no working around the fact that those will eventually let go.

Coping is not a one-size fits all situation. The truth is everyone copes differently, I'm simply exploring the baseline connection that it HURTS. And my BELEIF that the hardest part is often miscommunicated. Many people say that "Time will heal it," but in MY opinion that's the hardest part to accept, because that means they're gone. I want to create a ground of relatability, a ground of feeling heard to the audience. Even if I can't provide a clear-cut solution. It's more-so the understanding of the situation, and the fact that it's okay for time not to heal it right away, but understanding that it will eventually.
