I'm afraid we've suffered a loss

[Panthanas]

I'm still pretty new here, but I wanted to give you my condolences as well.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

My condolences.

Rel-

You have my very deepest sympathies. I've yet to have a close friend pass away, and I can only imagine your loss.

Death is waiting around the corner for all of us, but nobody expects it to come for someone "our age".

Thirty-three is just far too young to be struck down by a heart attack.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

I don't know what to say, except that I must say something.

This level of loss is tough and it lingers. The best antidote is to not let his memory wither, grow it into something wonderful.

I hope he, you, and all your friends and family can find peace.

Joe

Rel, Speaks With Stone,
My condolences on your loss. It was nice of you to invite Ted's girlfriend into your regular gaming group. I'm sure it means a lot to her and all of you can support each other through this sad time.

 

[Darklone]

This is one of these moments when I wish I could find better words in a foreign language.

I feel so sorry for you, Rel and Speaks. My condolences to everyone.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Rel, as someone else said on this thread telling stories about people and holding them in your memory is the best way to keep them alive, for yourself and for you friends.

It sounds like he was a really nice guy to hang out with. My condolences.

 

[Silver Griffon]

My condolences. This thread is a testament to the quality of your friend Ted and of all the people on this board. As is the fact that so many of us can grieve so deeply for someone we've never even met before.
Everyone please take care of yourselves and enjoy every moment you have.

 

[Greatwyrm]

I never feel like anything I say to people at times like this is the right thing to say. I'm sorry, Rel.

Now I'll say something to everyone else. This kind of thing is a reminder that you can't take the people you love for granted. Tell your family and friends how much you appreciate them NOW. You may not have time tomorrow.

Hey Rel,

Death might be a part of life (as someone above suggested) but it never gets easy. Next time you are all sitting around the gaming table, missing Ted, pay him respects with a toast or whatever memorial suits your group. Better yet, keep one of his PCs around as an NPC -- then you don't have to lose all of him all at once. One less gamer in the world is a sad thing in the abstract, but losing a friend of twenty years is a true tragedy. Take care of yourself and, as far as you can, that girlfriend your buddy left behind.
