    I am so sorry for your loss. It is devastating to lose anyone, family and/or friends. I'll add you to my prayers, that the pain eases and that you can remember him as the friend he was. <hugs>

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Like the other posters have said, take time to grieve first as it is necessary in order for our wounds to heal. Be strong & think of all the beautiful memories that you two had.

    Sending condolences to both you & your friends family all the way from Manila, Philippines. (((HUGS)))

    Sorry for your loss - I can tell you it will get better with time.

    I lost my best friend almost 11 years ago (Will be 11 years on Jan 2)and while it has gotten better I still miss him everyday, take your time grieve your loss, feel your feelings (DO NOT EAT THEM) but feel them and then remember that he probably would not want you to sit around and cry and stop living because he is not here anymore.

    My thoughts are with you.

    I'm so sorry, Amyllu. As a bereavement recovery facilitator, I understand the uniqueness of your loss and subsequent pain. May this loss serve to strengthen your resolve to embrace those you love who are still with you, reminding them as often as you can just how much you care..

    I understand why you're bad. Give you some tim. You need to deal with this lost.
    We're all with you. Nothing can comfort you for the moment but time will help you.
    When I lost my best friend, I decided to live for her and it helps me a lot at this time.

    My wonderful mother, who had been widowed at 62 years old, reconnected with the man who, prior to my dad, had been the love of her life. She was in her early 70's, and I remember how her entire demeanor changed when she'd talk about him. In her eyes I saw the school girl she had been when she had first met and adored him! Having just found love again in my own life (I'm 60) it has never been clearer to me that some things never change.... love is love, and it effects us all in pretty much the same way no matter how old or young we are. When my mom's friend passed away she was devastated. I'm sure what you are feeling is pretty close to what she went through. I also know that when our peers pass on we can't help but feel our own mortality, as I'm finding out as I'm getting older and seeing more of it. What you're feeling isn't silly at all! I'm sure that wherever your friend is... I like to think of our lost loved ones as being part of the universe.... he is surrounding you with his arms, hugging you. My thoughts will be with you!

    I am so very sorry. I have said a prayer for you that every post in this thread will help to lighten your heavy heart. When I lost a favorite person a few years back, I remember how angry I was because I wasn't done with him yet. I felt cheated.

    Thankyou so much for all the kind words and thoughts. I think that having kept my feelings secret over the years has made me feel cheated but the fact is that his ex partner has been one of my best friends for many years and when he then suddenly married his new partner I had to continue to keep my feelings to myself.
    Life's a beetch sometimes!!

    My dad died when i was 15. I guess that is partly why I'm on this site as I used food to control my life. I am deeply sorry, I too felt my own mortality but live for the present.

    I am so sorry of your loss. He is in a better place now and at least he got to live his life. I had a friend who died at 22 yrs old. I know the feeling of losing someone you truly care about It will pass. To me it was hard because he had a full life ahead of him but your friend got to live that life.
