If you seriously dont care then please do not respond. a friend close to our family passed away in his sleep last night. its very sad and even tho i hardly knew him he watched me grow up as a child and he helped look after me a lot. im finding it a bit hard to believe that this has happened.

how have you coped in the past?

The only thing you can do is try and deal with it the best u can, when my mum died i tried to get on with my life the best i could even though i had to move away from all my friends and start a new life somewhere else. cause my mum and dad were all ready divorced

A friend of mine was killed in a car crash about 3months ago i just kept saying to myself it wasnt real and he'll will come back. But it hit me hard when i went to the funeral. Few months on now and i still can't get it into my head that he's not here nomore but i try & not think about it TBH

time fixes it out....... feels differnet when u dont see their face anymore, what got me was past memorys of the person..... but as time went on it became a part of the past rather than the presant

Life goes on..... dont let death play on your mind, it wont do any good.... as each day goes by u will think less of the person but u wont ever forget them

Death is part of life & you have to learn deal with it! My best mate was killed when I was 7 years old from serious head injouries when he was hit by a car I learned from that theres no point sitting crying over it - lifes too short & 1 day it will be your turn! Try thinking of the good times you had with that person instead of thinking about there death! Sometimes its for the best aswell ive seen family members dieing from cancer in the final stage pumped full of morphine & god knows what else – they don’t even know who you are or what day it is – its not a pretty sight or something anyone should have to go through....what im saying is id rather see someone put to rest than in pain! IMO Dieing in your sleep is the best way to go & guess it was just there time

Sorry for your loss tho it can be tough sometimes!!!

Best way to try and get on with the rest of your life, thats what they would have wanted you to do and not mope about after them ,although it is hard if they were close, last year i lost my aunty and nanna within 6months of each other but you just have to cope

Yesterday 2 lads from Darlington jumped infront of a train, they were only in year 10 so about 14years old, although they jumped, it wil still be a bad time for their family and friend

Although everyone has to die

Can i just say that this is the best thing i have ever seen you post. I have been through the exact same thing these last few days.

My mother passed away wednesday morning beacuse of cancer. She was on a morphine drip at home. She basicly just went into a deep deep sleep and then her breathing got shollower and shallower untill it stopped. No gasping nothing. Very peacefull.
The days leading up to her death she was screaming in pain and there was fuck all i could do apart from keep giving her her medication at the set times which was barely touching the pain.
I have been in USA for a couple weeks now as soon as i heard she only had a matter of weeks left i came over.
It has been the hardest thing i have ever had to deal with. Her funeral was yersterday and i dont think it has hit me yet. I am not looking forward to the whole thing hitting me. I have just been so busy since i got her that i have barely had time to think about it.

Sorry for the essay but it helps to get it off your chest!
