Someone I know died today. He lives about 5 minutes by walking away from me. He was only in his 40's and he had a stroke the other day, and died today. In my neighborhood, everyone knows everyone else. So when someone dies, it hurts the whole community.
I am crying so much right now. I have been for about 2 and a half hours. I am not good at dealing with death at all.
I am worried about his daughter. She is only a freshman in high school, and now she doesn't have a dad anymore. This is just like my best friend Cassidy who lost her dad in December. I knew him so so well, and I still cry about him.

I just need to cry.

Ouch. Are you a friend of his daughter so you can be a support to her? Your neighborhood sounds like a nice place to be especially in these circumstances.

Just goes to show what alovely, caring soul you are. Death is hard to deal with at any time, but especially with people you know, or a friends parent because you are crying for them too.

gentle hugs, take care and just be there for your friend and cry as much as you need to. Crying help release the grief.

Jinny xoxoxoxoxoxoxo I just need to cry. I just need to cry. I just need to cry. I just need to cry. I just need to cry. I just need to cry. I just need to cry. I just need to cry.
