I am writing from a place of unparalleled despondency. It's now been nearly 2 weeks since the 1 year anniversary of the death of a good friend of mine. His name was Andrei. He was impaled and died almost instantly. The police initially ruled it an accident, but started a homicide investigation after they discovered signs of foul play.

Tips came pouring in. At last count, there were 616 various claims of sightings, but there have been no arrests. I can't imagine Andrei is resting peacefully while his murderer is still out there somewhere. I still often have trouble sleeping when this thought pops into my head late at night.

I was looking forward to the anniversary. I tried to gather his closest friends so we could all have a drink and remember Andrei, but it never happened. Many were no longer around. Some didn't have the time. A few didn't even remember Andrei at all! It had only been a year! How ephemeral we are; it is so disheartening.

The worst part of the ordeal was Victor. He was even closer to Andrei than I was. They were practically inseparable; certainly indistinguishable. People always had trouble telling them apart. I was certain he'd reminisce with me, but he only replied with disdain. He went on and on about how he had replaced Andrei and that I needed to move on too. I still can't understand it. I was just talking about a few hours of time to remember someone who was important to us. I exploded and we got into an argument. I said lots of things I shouldn't have. We parted with me mentioning that one day he was going to be impaled too, and a year later there would be no one who cared at all. Not a high point for me...

I'm not sure why I am writing this here, but I needed to get it out somehow. RIP Andrei. Fuck you Victor.

Edit: I've gotten a few PMs requesting it, so here is the most recent picture I have of Andrei

I honestly thought more people had read Sonuvbob's profile. This post might make a little bit more sense if you do.

People mourn in their own ways I guess. I would put the invitation out there, but not become upset and hostile if they don't want to. It could be too upsetting for them to sit and talk about Andrei on the anniversary of his death.

I would apologize to Victor and give respects to Andrei on your own in whatever way you think is best.

Poor little Andrei. He was a little creepy though, silently following me everywhere I went.

Victor can hardly be called a replacement. The little bastard even went on a three week vacation!

Wow, forgetting somebody that died? What people. I'm sorry about how your friend's death has not been solved though and also sorry about Victor and others that don't care about people they loved.

I'm sorry, LTT. One thing you'll come to find out is that people deal with tragedy in innumerably different ways, and logic won't help you understand any of them.

The human mind deals with loss in a very peculiar fashion, and despite Victor's callous reaction, he might be dealing with the loss in a very profound way. He might resort to denial and insensitivity where you would have with despair or anger.

What's important to know is that pain can manifest itself in people in bizarre, incomprehensible ways, and that things aren't always what they seem. Maybe forgetting Andrei is the only way Victor can deal with the pain right now.

It's a lot to consider, I wish you the best.

*shaking head*

I agree with some other people's replies that people take hardships differently.

gl's to you. You know its good that you wrote it out somewhere. Sometimes even typing it out can help calm you down. Remeber TL.net is here.

And seriously how do people forget about Andrei? In one year people forget.. *shaking head*
