How to cope with a friends loss

[BureOne]

I woke up this morning to find out my friend died last night around 7:30pm. His tire on this Ford explorer blew causing him to lose control. The car did not flip over or anything but the movement or impact caused him to be thrown out his driver seat window hitting his head on a curb killing him instantly.

Of course as you always hear, he was not wearing his seat belt.
This morning has been shit, Im at home and will visit his Mother later on Im sure with some other friends.

I went out with him on Friday night and spent Saturday afternoon watching football among friends.

This is bullshit, I cant accept the fact he's gone. Just thought I share that with you all; not my intention of bringing the board down, but I know some of you have gone through stuff like this.

This is my 3rd close friend passing.

wow sorry for you
happened to me - it was at first a very strange feeling; like if I felt things were just more real. that was quickly washed by real pain - I still miss the guy
good luck for the next days

Re: How to cope with a friends loss

my friend adam died about 2 months ago, and it sucks. just remember the good times and live a good life for them.

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Re: How to cope with a friends loss

Thanks guys, unfortunately I've dealt with this before, last time was 5 years ago. Time does help but the process is so unforgiving.

I keep seeing his face and hearing his voice! that bastard I swear if he only had his fucking seatbelt on. My other friend that was in the car was fine because of it.

By the time he came to; there was a crowd around my friend.

Thanks for the poem Sean, it was hard to read.

Re: How to cope with a friends loss

damn bure. sorry to hear about your loss. try and turn your energy in to something positive like making a set dedicated to his memory. or make a collage (sp?) anything to remember the positive things.

such a terrible and undignified way to go.

Nothing worse than a family member or close friend who dies especially if it happens surprisingly. It takes a lot of time before you can enjoy Life as you used to do so I wish you all the strength you will need on your way and R.I.P to your friend. Don't go too much into the "what if's" because those thoughts lead to nothing and can't change Reality.
