Well I had a hard time deciding, but after a LONG time thinking, I am glad to announce that Victoria is the contest winner!!! We also had another great entry by Anna!!!! Here is the wining comment
By Victoria:
Well, Kate, my BFF killed herself a few years ago. I was in the same dilemma. I got really introverted, and a lot of people brought me cookies and stuff to help me through it. But the one thing that helped me the most were my other closest friends. They brought over movies. Thing was, they didn't know what movies would bring back memories (like OMG we saw the movie together) and what wouldn't, so they brought over 10+ movies. We spent three days STRAIGHT watching everything from The Devil Wears Prada to American Pie to the Human Centipede (staying up with lotsa caffeine) A few movies reminded me of my friend, but we had lots of tissues. They were so supportive. It helped me realize that even though my friend was gone, it was like she was still there with me. I was able to talk about my friend afterwards and even give that speech thinymajigger at her funeral. So, advice? Do something that's halfway between forgetting and remembering. With close friends, lots of tissues, and a shiz load of chocolate.
And here is Anna's:
Dear Amy,I would suggest that you take into account all the wondeful memories you once had a cherish them. Think about those memories of being with her and that she is still there in your heart instead of thinking of those as your lose of her and feelings of pain. Thing of happy times and have lots of good things that you love. If you love chocolate, eat it. If you love icecream, eat it. If you love to go to the park and run, do it. Do everything that you love to do to take your mind off of the feeling of pain and sorrow. Stay on the happy side and have friends around to encourage you and comfort you!
Great advice guys!!!! Victoria you may post what you want to see on my blog, and I will post that for you by Wednesday or Thursday! Keep on giving advice!
Okay, got one: I want you to post advice about being yourself. I point a lot of people to your blog and I want them to realize they don't have to hiude themselves from others. :) KTHXBYE Love ya Kate!
