So just recently, December 18th, on my 20th birthday actually- one of my favorite idols committed suicide.... The last few days have been really hard on me (as well as all other fans and his friends, family, coworkers, etc) especially after hearing about him passing. I haven't been able to stop crying, my chest hurts, iv'e had constant headaches from crying and I have also struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts for years (which got worse when he passed) and I have been trying to find ways to cope in a healthy way. One way I thought of was to get him as a spirit companion because being able to have that connection with him would put my mind at ease and with how much he struggled during his life, I want to be able to tell him things I never could before.
What I want to know is, since it hasn't even been a week (though it feels like a year already), should I wait a bit longer before I go for that? In respect to his passing or something? I don't know if there's a "too soon" with this sort of thing, but I just feel like there is though I could be wrong. It's always better to be safe and ask then not, ya know?

Mmm there are threads that suggested to wait for 6 months to 1 year after they pass away. You might want to confirm it directly to the conjurers : )
