Loss

[Carp]

I've only been here for a few months, and my impression of all of you is nothing but good. That's why I make this post. My mind is going a thousand miles an hour. My best friends mother died this morning. He works for me and was standing next to me when he got the call. It was all I could do to console him. I've had to deal with loss in my life many times but have always been able to compose myself. But for some reason, witnessing the pain and sorrow my friend was suffering, has left me experiencing emotions that I have never felt before. I'm sure he will be alright and I as well.

I just needed to say this to someone other than my friend and my family. At this time he needs me to be there, steadfast and strong. But inside I'm emotionally crippled. I hope you guys don't mind me leaning on you. We all need someone to lean on. In the end, all we have is each other.

We all face the pain at some point in our life. Your friend is lucky to have you around to support him. Even though you are struggling the best thing he needs is your strength. Take care of yourself too.... and thank you.

Thanks for the insight guys. I'll be fine, it's my friend that I'm worried about. The beginning of the grieving process is always painful. I think that's why they invented Xanax.


Again, thanks everyone.

Sorry to hear about the loss. Keep strong for him and help him as much as you can. Remember to take care of yourself as well, you need to be there if he falters.

This statement along with all of the others, share the same sentiment. This is exactly why I shared this with you all. The brief period of time I've had the privilege knowing you guys has proven to be priceless. Being able to share something as personal as this restores my faith in my fellow man. Although death is a part of life, (actually the end of it), it's comforting to know that there are friends who are there when you need them.

I only hope that I can return these gestures equivalent to what I have experienced.

Again, Thank you all,

Carp

Tomorrow is the funeral for my friends mother. I really appreciate all the kind words from you all. I doubt that I will feel like playing any games for a couple of days.

The brief period of time I have spent here has renewed my faith in my fellow man. There are good people out there, but it's getting harder and harder to find them. Perhaps fate had something to do with me landing here.
