[Anon forever]

[originaldragoon]

For those who grew close to someone on the community and then lost them due to them being blocked from this place, have you ever manage to get over the pain of that loss? Or at least dull it? If so, how did you manage it?

It has been a over a year for me, and the pain still feels fresh.

...no. It continues to hurt, but one becomes accustom to the pain, and it becomes less frequent with time.

When it is one you care for deeply, the sting can last an eternity, but speaking with others can help.

[originaldragoon]

I suppose.

[masked_god]

This has not been your experience?

[originaldragoon]

It is more of a case that this has happened too often for me.

[masked_god]

For me as well. I wonder if it is inevitable if we remain connected to this community for too long.

I think it's the same as it is if we lose someone in our real lives, though we can at least hope they're happy in their world.

... It gets easier to live with, even if you never miss them less.

[originaldragoon]

True...

[makewayforroze]

I don't think there's really much advice to give. I think...it's best to keep moving forward, even when it hurts.

[originaldragoon]

That is what I have been trying to do for the past year...

[makewayforroze]

And you've made it through an entire year. That's a good thing, already.

[originaldragoon]

Personally I am growing sick of the feeling.

[makewayforroze]

Would it help to talk about it?

[material_guy]

Had my secretary do a survey a while back on the top things people on this community want. Number one answer was gettin' people who're lost back. So, a lotta people seem to be carrying around some kinda pain like that.

Best thing to do's replace 'em as quick as you can.

[originaldragoon]

Not an option.

[material_guy]

Alright, then get yourself a "distraction." A replacement with a more sensitive paint job.

[originaldragoon]

There is not much around here that could distract me.

[material_guy]

Even on the community? They got casinos, stadiums, movies, or books if you're some kinda book-nerd, people doing all kinds of stupid shit you can jump in on... Just worry about how to kill the next few hours, bit by bit, and before you know it, you won't have enough time for all the little stuff, let alone getting too caught up in sitting around missing someone.

It gets easier over time, but it can still really hurt. The best you can really do is just remember them. Personally I just try my best to keep going.

I suppose that is all one can do.
