I don't think you are crazy. Maybe that is just a way to tie the past together and get closure. flowerforyou

you're not crazy. i think it might be a little bit of a wake up call for you tho. maybe you realized how much fun you had with your old friends/boyfriends and you realize how important they were to you......i've been thru the same stuff....

people all grieve in different ways .. you have to allow yourself to do so and you can't just skip it or it will rear it's ugly head later .. Getting in contact with old friends seems pretty normal .. I went the other route in my grief I shut everyone out .. the point is there is no right way to be sad or wrong way to be sad ..

This is why you should try to avoid burning bridges at all costs. The girl I dated and lived with for 6 years before meeting my current, soon to be ex-wife of ten years, is out there somewhere and I have no Idea where. At one time we thought we would care about each other forever. If she died I probably wouldn't find out for some length of time. I know my crrent wife will always be around because we share custody of our children 50/50. Always say I love you before leaving every morning and never go to bed mad!brokenheart

I know how you feel... I lost my best friend when she was 27. After surviving a heart operation that had a 50/50 chance, she had passed away 3 months later after a routine procdure that she had had done in the past. It does make you realize that life is precious and short. Take the time to grieve though. Hugs.

No, you are not crazy, now you need company and friends are more suitable than exboyfriends. it´s a normal process when we lose someone.
