Hi all
A very good old friend ( if that makes any sense) passed away this morning from cancer. I am at a loss for words.

So sorry for your loss. I understand what "a very good old friend" means. It's someone who was very close to you at some time in your past but for various reasons you just lost contact. When one of you calls the other years later, it's like no time has past. You pick up right where you left off. The love for your friend is still there, it's just lying dormant. My sympathies to you.

The services are tomorrow and I have to work. I am worried I will not get to go because I work during that time. I have missed a few days of work lately and I am not sure if can get the time off. I don't know what to do. I know have to call work this afternoon and see if can work only a few hours.
I just shed my first tears since the news, but only a few.....I go right back to feeling numb. I have lost a lot of people in my life in less than 2 years now. Feeling numb right now is only way to get through this and work right now. Am also trying to help a friend who is very suicidal right now. I went and stayed with her last night and hugged her and listened to her and let her cry on my shoulders. I Love this friend very much and we have a huge history both good and bad. I'm exhausted as have been on the run for most of the weekend. Thanks for listening, Jen

I'm sorry Jen. Be gentle with yourself right now.

Went to his service yesterday and was able to talk to the family members that I knew. They invited me to a dinner that evening but I had to work later so wasn't able to attend. He didn't look himself in the casket. Wasn't the friend I knew. I wouldn't of even recognized him. I don't know if it's even set in yet.
Things with my other friend have gotten me so on the edge. It's gotten me in some really triggering spots. I don't know how to help her, and that gets me thinking about me and being in her shoes right now and how I know that people don't know how to help me either. Things have gone from bad to worse in a matter of a day, and who knows what's going to happen anymore.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
