I have not lost a best friend however, I have lost 2 church pastors since June 14th. The one on June 14 was 29 years old and hit by a 16 year old who ran a stop sign. My former pastor, who was just 68 died this morning after having been diagnosed about a year ago with Alzheimer's. I am deeply saddened by the death of both of these fine men.
Thanks for listening.

YES, I have bev. Sorry for your loss. My sister died on March 4th, she had bone marrow cancer. I taliked to her everyday on phone at least 2 or 3 times. Sometimes, I reach for the phone and realize she's not there anymore. But in my heart she is, that's what counts. My friend told me to Remember The Good Times. Thats what I am going to do. Much love.

Oh I am so sorry to hear about your dear friend. I know you much just feel terrible. I had a friend once, we met when we were both pregnant with our last children. We became instant friends sharing all the things you go thru being pregnant and then watching the kids grow up together in the same class and everything. When the kids were starting their senior year she past away from brain cancer. We knew that she only had about 18 months left before she past away so it was nice to be able to spend extra time with her. About six months before she left I had bought three simple gold band rings and gave one to her, one to our mutual friend and keep one for myself on her last birthday that we all shared together. As I gave them out we toasted each other to a friendship that is never ending like the continuous gold band. We all put them on our right pinky fingers. She was buried with hers and mine and my other friend still wears ours everyday and it has been 10 years since she left us. I know it is sometimes easier when you know that someone is going to pass so you can spend that time, but it is even harder when it is unexpected and you feel like so much is left unsaid. My heart goes out to you because either way it hurts. Just be thankful for the time she was in your life.

{{{HUGS}}} Yes, my best friend committed suicide. That was hard. Regardless of the way they die, you grieve as if they were a close family member....shoot..they ARE family! Allow yourself to grieve, allow yourself to cry. Talk about her to EVERYONE! And consider counseling. Hospice in our area holds grieving sessions -- for anyone who has lost someone, no matter who or how they died.
