i just found out that my friend matt died. he OD'd and was found tonight at 7pm. this is by far the worst news ive ever gotten and im freaking out right now and i have no idea what to do with myself. i signed on a little while ago and one of my best friends told me and at first i didnt believe her but i started to ask other people and its all true. i knew he was into drugs but i had no idea it would go this far. i just got off the phone with about 10 people and everything is so messed up. everyone is in crying and in complete shock. i mean this is the kid i just saw yesterday in school. this is so unreal and i dont think it has completly hit me yet. i feel so lost right now and i cant even imagine what his parents are going through. things are so messed up right now
I'm so sorry to hear that. The only thing you can do is talk to your other friends and let yourself grieve. It's really hard when you lose someone, especially at such a young age and especially for reasons like a drug overdose. We all wish our loved ones would live a long life and die of old age but it's not like that usually. I'm sorry for your loss.
someone from school has "he had it coming to him" in his aim profile. i dont see how anyone could be so heartless.
Aw, honey. I really am sorry. I know how it feels. Kind of like a punch in the stomach that knocks the wind out of you. All you can do is grieve, but try to remember the joy he brought to your life.
awww honey i'm so sorry!!! that's terrible... that happened to a kid (well, sorta... OD'd on oxycotin) here last year.... again, i'm really sorry about that...
its so hopeless when everyone around me including myself is in pain. all i have left now are memories and memories fade. he died way too young and he had a long life ahead of him. he was a senior and was gettin ready for college. it just seems unfair. i dont no if im making much sense but i just need to get all of this out
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard when everyone around you is in pain, the best thing to do is to try to talk about how you feel. It's hard but it will get easier in time.
That's kind of the same feeling I imagine you get when we thought my uncle comitted suicide... we're still not sure... he did have enough in his system to put him into a coma or maybe cardiac arrest, but he also had an enlarged heart and the drugs in his system could have triggered a heart attack. Weird.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss sweetie. Here is a poem I found that may bring you a little comfort. He'll always be with you, never forget that. Sending you lots of hugs and warm vibes. I Did Not Die Do not stand at my grave and forever weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and forever cry. I am not there. I did not die.
I'm so sorry. My little brother died last year from a morphine overdose. He was in tremendous pain. I do realize the complexity of your feelings and your sense of helplessness. "Death will leave you crying in this land"
My heart and tears go out to you . . . About the kid with his AIM profile. . . that sounds really terrible and heartless, but don't let it bother you, it's probably just the only way he can deal with it, you know? To try and desensitize himself and minimize the tragedy.
this has been the hardest day of my life in homeroom the principal came on over the intercom and said "all homeroom teachers may read the paper notice now." so my teacher went to the front of the class and read the letter. it said "we have some disturbing news. matt___ died yesterday. at this time we have no further information for you." and thats it. all they gave matt was 2 sentences. even though homeroom is only 10 minutes long it seemed like i was there for hours. no one said a word and we all just sat there either crying or staring blankly. in the hallways on the way to first class i saw a group of friends huddled in a circle and so we all stood there hugging and crying. my first class is childcare (we have a daycare in a part of the school)when i got there the teacher was telling us that it wasnt ok to talk about it. she said that it wouldnt do us any good bringing it up. then the principal came on the speaker again and said "the staff and faculty understand that this is a sad time for all of us and if a student at anytime needs to leave class we ask they go to the guidance office for help and someone to talk to." i left class cause there was no way i could sit there. when i got to english the principal came on the speaker again and said "it has been of many students to have a moment of silence for matt." so we had about a minute of silence for him and then the principal went on saying "all students must either go to class or the guidance office. there is no reason why students should be wandering in the hallways. this is a terrible thing that happened but its not an excuse to miss class." i thought that was completely unecessary. most of the kids in the hallways were only there instead of class beause they were still in shock and needed time to get their heads together. in history class the principal made another announcement saying that there will be a candel light vigil tonight at 7pm on the schools football field. im definitely going tonight and i no it will be so hard seeing everyone. but at least we will be there together..all for the same reason. its not going to be about who were his closest friends and why are people here who didnt even know him or anything like that. its going to be about him. at about 11am reporters came from a local news station and just started picking random students and asking them all these questions. i was disgusted! its like give us a fuckin day to grieve! one of my friends just died and you want to come into my school and interview me!? a reporter asked me "whats going through your head right now?" i looked at her and said "im sorry i cant talk to you right now." and then i walked away. i think its completely insane that the school would even let them in. all they did was upset more students and make everything worse so right now i have to try to figure everything out. i have practice in a couple hours and then im staying at school for the candel light vigil. none of the practices for any sports were cancelled today. i really dont think any of us are in the right state of mind for sports. sports are the last thing on my mind
WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT! Even if this guy wasn't the nicest of greatest person in the world, no one deserves that. What a fucking asshole for putting that there. I'm so sorry for you, my sister. Peace on you.
