Love2

After taking a short wikiBreak, I decided to take another one for family reasons. One of my family members just died. She was very, very close to me (not my mother). Thought about ending my life, but knew that this isn’t a good choice. As a human, I’m really sad and tearing as I’m writing this, but as an adult, stopping myself from crying in front of my younger cousin. However, not posting to tell you the story. Just letting you know that won’t be active. I did some incomplete editing to some articles, so it would be great if you continued/completed my edits. So no need to post me messages, because I might not be able to reply. Though, you might find me at IRC sometimes. My wikiBreak can be from a week, to months. My wikiBreak is starting from tomorrow. Thanks for reading. P.S - If someone tells me how to deal with that, that would make me much better. But not unnecessary. It’s really enough and okay to tell me “Happy wikiBreak!”.
Love you - You’re an awesome person, and no…Suicide is not a way out…/me speaks from experience Just hang on, we’re here for ya. :’( (Talk to you in IRC) June Days
Sorry to hear that Love2. It must be really hard for you to go through all this. Just remember all of the good times you had with them and know that they are in a good place. I hate to see you thinking thoughts of suicide. More killing is never a way to solve things. To get your mind off of them, go to places that make you happy, or just simply read or nap. Sorry if this sounds corny, but they will always be with you in your heart. We will always be with you through this, so if you ever want to talk, you can. Tell me if there is anything I can do to help. Hope you feel better soon. Livelifenails <3
So sorry to hear that @Love2
Everything gets better… You didn’t loose your family member, there still with you in the heart. Well, your a great person. One who gives good advice and suggestions. One who helps others. wikiHow loves you @Love2
, we are here for you… Sapp

Really, really, really sorry to hear that.
Family members and friends are always there for a few boosts of strength, and you will get better in time. Even though we’re online, we are all thinking about you and we are all here for you. This next part sounds really pathetic, but try looking at some articles that help with dealing about things like that. We will all miss you and are all thinking about you! CiCi XOXOXOXO <3
@Love2
- I’m really sorry to hear about that. I know how tough it can be to lose people that you’re close to. I lost three people I loved last year, and I found that just letting yourself cry really helps. Go somewhere where you’re alone and nobody can see you, and just give yourself time to cry and vent out your feelings, because keeping them bottled up inside you isn’t going to help. Know that they’re never really gone, because you’ll always remember them and they’ll always be in your heart. Please don’t take your own life to help deal with this. Things may seem bleak right now, but they will get better in time. All your friends here on wikiHow (not to mention your friends and family in real life) love you and will be here with you every step of the way if you want to talk to us about how you’re feeling. Lastly, take as much time as you need on your wikiBreak. We’ll keep things running here, so come back whenever you’re ready. We’re all thinking about you and wishing you the best.
Aww, that’s so sad @Love2
! We’re all going to terribly miss you! Please, don’t commit suicide. Suicide isn’t an answer to anything and the people who love you dearly like how you loved your deceased family member will feel the same way you feel about your close family members’ passing. Good luck, and we’ll pray for everything to be all right

You know? I’m not confused anymore why June said that you’re her second family. Have tons on friends in my real life, they didn’t do what you did. You did more than that. But it’s really hard for me to deal with that. I lost 2 important family members. My father, and my grandmother, and they were really close to me (closer than my mother). My father, I dealt with that. Kept saying that he is okay, he still love me, etc. My grandmother too? That’s so much. And it gets harder when I do my best to act on wikiHow: http://screencast.com/t/SwFuJZZiE7o
Have to show people that I’m still happy, and that’s really hard.

It is really hard, and you will get better in time. Think about that there is someone out there dealing with the exact same thing that you are right now, this world has billions of people and you are in all of our prayers. Showing people that you are happy is really hard. Telling yourself that you do that makes you so much of a better person. Your lost ones are up there watching you and we all want you to take your time on your wikiBreak to get better. If you do, don’t feel guilty in any way. You are a great person. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t be having people type comments like the ones above, and you wouldn’t pretend to be happy like this. You are in our prayers and we will miss you very much. Hugs and Kisses! CiCi XO
Salma, I know where you’re at right now, and like I said, suicide it one of the worst possible things you can do. I do have a history of talking people out of depression (And saving 4 suicidal people…Hard to believe), maybe we can talk on IRC. June Days
^ Exactly. I couldn’t have said it better. We’ll always be here for you if you want to talk. I didn’t want to be so blunt, but please don’t commit suicide. I know that you’re hurting right now, and that’s okay. Things won’t get better instantly, but I promise that they will get better. Stay strong, Salma, and know that we’re cheering for you.

I don’t have that much to say other than that others haven’t already said, but stay strong. It is a very rough time when you lose a loved one, and you just have to take everything step by step. Thinking of this one person’s interaction with you as an experience, not a memory, may help. It doesn’t seem like it would, but it does. And, as others have already said, either get your tears out in private, or go spend time talking and getting your feelings out with some close, supportive friends. And yes, as others have said already, we are
here for you. And we will always be. =)
The community wouldn’t be the same without you, Salma. You’ve done great edits, and I remember several months ago…You loved wikiHow and wanted to be more in the community - Well, you are! You’ve added links, images, too many things that are overlooked, you’ve edited new articles to the point of a professional, you’ve done great work here. The community would miss you, and so would I. I’m glad you’re feeling better, and I hope you’ll listen to what I said here…You’re important, not better off dead, and you’re going to get stronger. Even though I’m not a Christian, I think a lot of the songs I still love are powerful… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk8ue3qN0hg
