That's terrible SS. Sorry for your losses.

I guess better to go without some long drawn out issues with the older ones. It's never easy no matter when or why though. Middle aged is certainly no time to go, that's for sure. Hope you guys have good support around the friends and family, I've been through similar though I think it was more like a year.. not less than half of one.

I'll keep all of you in my prayers guys. It's funny how a close friend or relative passing away changes the way you think.

Death blows.
I recently had one of my best friends pass away and I got really mad at people who went to his funeral that barely knew him(maybe because I'm an asshole). I guess they were sad that he's gone, but I wouldn't personally go to a funeral of a person I barely knew.
I dunno, I'm probably just an asshole.

I also had one of my best friends pass away two years later. There had to be 1000 people at his wake. His father was in politics and a lot of people were there to support him. At the time I felt like you and was mad, but now I think that it was pretty amazing that so many people came.

TheMalcolmConnection · 01-08-2010, 08:01 PM

Maybe.

Let me tell you from experience that the support means so much. I didn't care who it was, it just meant a lot that people were there for us.

Just got back from a viewing. Really sucks it was one of my co-workers he was 62 and set to retire this year. Just talked with him on Thursday and he died Friday. He loved the Steelers, kind of guy you want to hunt down on Monday morning if you beat his team but if your team lost to his you better be hiding on Monday.

RIP Tony, I will miss your NFL talk!

Sorry about your loss . Very nice post's WP'ers . I lost two of My GP's when I was young , never really knew them , one to cancer at 84 yrs . My one grandmother is , I hope going to hit 105 this June . I did lose many friends to car/motorcycle accicents , including my best friend 3 weeks before 9-11-01 ... the worst year IMO .

Far be it for me to sissy up this place, but this song actually helps me cope with loss. I'm probably going to lose my dog soon, which clearly isn't the same as losing a father, mother, sister, brother, or other loved one. But nevertheless.

Even if this particular song doesn't help, I hope you can find something (Bible, friends, etc.) to help you all cope.

Death Cab For Cutie is sissy enough, didn't need to mention the coping part. But yeah, mostly whatever helps you get through the tougher times is good.
