Probably a subject never spoken much about

August 23 2014

Today I learnt of the tragic n sudden death of my close friend n former collegue! I was at first stunned but then soon after pissed off quite frankly!!! She was beautiful, she lived her life to help others, she was respectful n happy...and I just dont understand!! I will miss the smile she managed to put on my face when I didn't feel like smiling....that cheeky laugh when we were both doing something wrong in work time but had to email each other after to give all juicy details....that one person that even if you were having the worst day imaginable, she managed to make you smile :-) RIP my beautiful friend, may you fly with the angels xx - Posted from rhpmobile

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Some people leave such a big hole in in your life when they pass. I remember feeling bitter and confused a few years back after losing a grandparent , it felt like the whole world should have rippled somehow and noticed her passing but everyone just carried on as usual. Of course. Here's a big hug for you. x Me - Posted from rhpmobile

    I often ask this too, why are some just rip out of our life so suddenly. One minute they there and the next cut down like a tree. Sincerely sorry

    sorry to hear about your friend, sometimes the saying, 'only the good die young' seems to ring true. I recently lost my stepbrother in a tragic plane crash as he left behind a beautiful wife and 2 gorgeous daughters at the age of 43. About 500 attended his funeral, he was well known and liked. The worst death I ever had to deal with was that of my father when I was 18. I came home from work with my sister at around 2am to find him hanging in the driveway. Worst part is that he never actually hung himself, he choked to death so his tongue was all swollen and hanging out of his mouth and had already been there for hours, it was a nasty sight that is forever etched in my mind. I had to see him again as I identified the body then had to break the news to my Mum and other siblings. I also had to console my sister as she had completely freaked out. I am a strong person though so I can move on but it has affected my other siblings worse than it has me.

    My condolences on your loss My husband died when he was 25. We had been married 1 year Words can not ever articulate your grief. Only your heart knows truly but death is part of life and there is no answers as to why and how, it just is Just questions, but the fact that you mourn so deeply within indicates that this person did what they were put on the earth to do. And that is touch your life in many ways Honour them by living out your life the best way you can, for them x

    Ralf, I can't imagine what you went through. I don't know if I would ever be able to get over something like that. You are truly a strong individual. A friend of mine lost her 4 year old daughter a few years ago to Meningococcal. She had a rash so my friend took her to the hospital. Literally a few hours later she was gone. Unbelievably cruel and heartbreaking loss. Our daughters were the same age so every time I look at my daughter I wonder what her daughter would look like now. My friend is also a very strong lady but this broke her. With lots of therapy and a wonderfully supportive husband, she got through. But every day is filled with memories and tears. I can't imagine that sort of heartbreak. If that was my daughter, I don't know how I would cope.

    Firstly my condolences to the OP. I know the feelings will be raw at the moment but I hope that when you work through the grief you will be left with the memory of how wonderful your friend was. I can never decide whether it is better to die slowly so that you have time to say goodbye but it draws out the agony for the family or to die suddenly which denies you the chance to tell them how much they meant to you. I have had a number of people close to me die from cancer, with a crescendo of pain as they enter their final days, measuring my time with them in hours and then minutes. On the other hand, my cousin's 3 year old son was killed in a freak accident in a park 18 months ago and the sudden loss has shattered his family. I have concluded there is no good way to lose a friend or relative, and the aftermath feels the same.

    On Thursday I lost my grandmother, the day before her 93rd birthday. She has been in a nursing home for 9 years with dementia the last 5 years she has been a shell of her former self. This passing is shattering as a family member but a blessing also for her. I'm unloading here because my mother (only child) is travelling overseas for 3 months - she has only been gone 3 weeks. Now I have to tell her :( but until then I can not tell anyone even my brothers in case this slips out before I am able to speak to my mother. the burdon of responsibility. I loved my nan, she was unique. She will be sadly missed. Thanks for listening 😢

    Sadly we loose all to often... I guess what we should take from these terrible times of lose is to acknowledge those we deeply respect that are still here with us! Let those we respect the most know it...
