Well, about 6 months ago now, i told you of the loss of my friend suzannah. she was known by many, and popular. she had a terminal ilness, which she eventually lost her life too. 6 months has gone, and i'm doing okay with the loss. some days are really bad ones, some good. i still miss her not calling me, and i regret some of the times i didn't call her, but we had great times together, those i will never forget. as her mum said in a letter to my friend jenny "suzannah's spirit is still actively with us" and that i agree with. i feel a closeness when i feel down, so yeah, i'm still not completely better, but i am getting there, and thanks to all my friends on here, and those that are not, for their much appreciated support.

Yeah I have a friend with a terminal illness as well. it can be ruff at times! at times I don't know what to say and what not to say so I just try to treat her as I would anyone else. but it's just sad!
I guess I would want the same as well!

it is impossible to know what to say to people in these sorts of situations. nothing you can say can ever make things better. i'm just glad that you are both coping. my thoughts are with you both.

awww thanks, the best thing you can do is treat them as normal, they really appreciate that, talk to them about every day things, they love it. it is hard, but make the most of the time you have with them.

Hey Kay, Gosh I really cant believe its been six months. Hadn't thought about it before til I read this post but realised that the six month anniversary was on my birthday! For those who don't know, I'm Kay's friend Jenny that she mentioned above and yes the letter from Suzannah's mother was so nice and really touching. I know myself and Suzannah had a great friendship, we knew each other since the age of 8, and I also know that even though Kay and Suzannah's friendship was shorter it was a great one and mant a lot to the both of them.
Jenny
