I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences.

I lost a friend from way back to elementary school last year or the year before. Not a close friend, but... He had a very weak heart and it just stopped one night. He was about 25.

Dang, you just reminded me of another guy from my high school gaming group who had a heart attack and died when he was only 29. I had forgotten about John when I posted about Tommy and Paul last night. Gosh that's three, and there were only about a dozen of us in the extended group.

Treebore, I'm sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I know pretty well how you feel. I lost one of my best friends in the world to a heart attack a year and a half ago. He was 33.

It hurts to lose somebody close to you like that. It hurts bad and it leaves a hole in your life that I'm not sure will ever go away. I know the hole in mine hasn't. But when I take time to think about what that means (and I've take A LOT of time thinking about it) I know that ultimately it means that he was somebody who had a big impact on my life. Somebody who was a true friend.

For friends like that, death is really the only way to lose them.

Hang in there and don't be afraid to ask for help from here at the boards. I know that I drew a lot of strength from the folks here at ENWorld. More than I thought that I would or that they'll probably ever know.

Yeah, it has been surprsing me too. I guess knowing that others have shared a loss similiar to yours, or just care enough to say they care. it is surprisingly helpful.

Wow Treebore, I am sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like a bad situation that probably didn't need to be. But don't focus on the tragedy of it all, focus on the good memories you have. He may have left this world, but those memories help assure that he isn't gone. Get out and relax with those memories for a little bit. It doesn't really make the pain of loss go away, but it does keep that pain in perspective. Namely in that he was your friend. And that is an important thing to remember.

Treebore,

Sorry to hear about your loss...it can certainly be painful. My workplace is going through this right now. Our very popular HR Director passed away in her sleep last Friday night of unknown causes. Recently promoted, recently engaged, new homeowner, dead at 28...not good.

Hang in there and know that we are thinking of you.

Very important lesson. Tell everyone that you love that you love them, because there may not be a next time.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
