A friend of mine who left social media last year, came back recently and shared on her gram, that she was going through a healing phrase....

And it took her 8months to recover from heartbreak, after her boyfriend of 3years broke off their engagement last year https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😒" title="Unamused face" aria-label="Emoji: Unamused face">

Truth of the matter was this, I knew she was going through a very rough time but I didn’t want to help. I felt like she would reject my help or something...

Fast forward to November last year I reached out to her and just popped the question. “How far, how your side na” and

Then she asked me how did I do it??
How did I forget 2017, why was it so easy for me to move on? Was I cheating? Or didn’t I love him enough...

And then I realized she was asking me how I moved on from my ex everybody that knows me in 2017 knows it was my worst year ever

But this isn’t my gisthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😏" title="Smirking face" aria-label="Emoji: Smirking face">

I had to call her on video call, she had lost so much weight and I couldn’t help but feel sad for her. Deep down I wanted to cry too but it would make matters worse

I just said “I forgave myself for loving somebody more than I loved myself”

She smiled and said “if only it was that easy dorcas I for no they here like this”

I understand how it feels and I want to help I said, and all she did was cry through out the video call

She said if there was a way I did it, she needs me to help her out that she needs

Help. She said all she wanted was just to be happy again, because it feels like life has ended without him I told her I was going to help her, I checked up on her regularly but she no longer replies me till today when I got a call from our friend she OD! she’s dead https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😪" title="Sleepy face" aria-label="Emoji: Sleepy face">

She died from drug over dose. She told our friend that she was tired of trying, she said it was so hard moving on. She said she couldn’t handle the shame after everything now she’s gone https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😞" title="Disappointed face" aria-label="Emoji: Disappointed face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Pensive face" aria-label="Emoji: Pensive face">
