I just lost my best friend

[Plymouthbreezer]

I'm so sorry.

Death is the worst. My mom just found out tonight one of her best friends has only a month left. I cried too, because the humanity of it all hits you. After being exposed to so much death, it hurts only when you find those people gone, and wish for them back in the moments which it'd have been so fitting that they were by your side.

At this point in my life (I'm 17), I am scared of death. Who knows though, it's all very crazy.

Once again, condolences. Vent as much as you need. Everyone is there for ya.

I'm send my thoughts to you and his family. It must be really hard not having him around anymore. I am tearing up just thinking about what would happen to my friend if he died.

We had this assembly the other week that was with drunk driving and they put on a mock funeral and this lady had us en-visualize what it would be like for our parents and friends if we were gone and I was so close to just busting out in tears.

I send my condolences.

You are not alone - always remember that...

Wow. I feel just horrible for you, lee...and even worse for his family. Leaving a wife behind is bad enough, but leaving her with two little one-year-old kids? God, what she must be going through.

Even though you're back, you and his wife, family and friends still need to lean on each other a lot with phone calls and such, checking up on each other. I'm sure you will be a source of strength and support to everyone.

I know you still feel the pain now, but as it passes you'll remember mostly the good things about him, and the good times you had. Even a sad ending can't erase all that.

Lee, you're the kind of friend everyone should have, and it's good you could be there for remaining family and loved ones. As you know, there are times when there are no adequate words to say, but your presence says how much you care.

I lost my dad just today. He passed away in his sleep at the age of 98. We're flying back to the States tomorrow for his funeral on Thursday. But there's such a distinct difference in the pain and mixed emotions we feel compared with those you feel over the loss of your friend, gone before his time. Our sincere sympathies and thoughts your way.
