So my other best friend texts me Tim’s dead. He tried calling me last night and I didn’t answer and he called a few times but didn’t leave a message or text me. Now I’m sitting here alone waiting for a visit from his ghost asking why I didn’t answer the phone.ive been friends with Tim for 30 years, he had a very bad drug problem for years so I would talk to him and see him maybe 2-3 times a year just cause I don’t like that shit but now I feel bad. Just rambling on a Friday night prob sounds stupid. Just a weird feeling is all. Anyone ever have a situation like this?
I'm sorry for your loss friend.
It's not your fault he died (whether by suicide or natural causes). Don't beat yourself up over whether having picked up the call would have made any difference.
Take with you the fact that he felt you cared enough about him that it drove him to even call you a few times on the last day of his life. That's a testament to the fact that your love for him drove him even during his darkest of times to seek you out. You picking up the phone might have helped, but it also could have given him the final affirmation needed for him to take the plunge (i.e. got to speak to one of my close friends one last time, now I can die in peace - kind of thing).
Anyhow, we are with you man. At the very least, we will get you to laugh.
