My best friend killed himself a little over a month ago. Its been tough and there is not a day that passes that I do not think about him. It does not help that I still have him as a friend on facebook and google talk so every time I am using one of them I see his picture. How long should I keep him as a friend on these sites? Am I being an idiot for even worrying about this?

Until you don't have to question if its right or wrong, or the accounts are deleted. You are not an idiot. If he was that good of a friend, you will think of him everyday for the rest of your life. The trick is how you adjust your life to deal with that reality. DO NOT ask me how I know.

| Sorry about the loss of your friend. I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. I don't think a month is long enough to grieve. It sucks right now for you and I'm sure it still hurts, there's nothing wrong with that. Eventually there will come a day that you don't even notice that it doesn't even hurt so much and you can feel yourself letting go, not forgetting just moving on. Not that it matters what some random dude think on the internet but I don't think it's stupid that you are asking this question. You'll know when the time is. |
| Thanks guys! It has been tough and I will never forget him. He was a good person just lost his battle with depression. You would have never known from the outside but he had some demons inside that eventually became to much. I saw his picture today and could not hold back the tears. I am sure my fellow coworkers think I am a little crazy. Thanks again for the kind words. |
My Grandpa died (cancer) March 2, 1992 and I still think of him every day. Just last night I finally threw out his wallet that I've been carrying since he died. It was mostly worn out when he no longer had need for it, so you can imagine it's condition after carrying it for that many years. It felt like I threw Grandpa away. 
I'll let you know when I stop thinking of him daily––though it's mostly pleasant thoughts these days.
