My friend's wife passed away today.

[COL Mustard]

I'm sad for him. She had had MS for a very long time. They welcomed their first grandchild on New Year's Day. Life sucks sometimes. As Warren Zevon said, enjoy every sandwich.

She had been ill for a long time, but I didn't expect this.

2. I feel bad for this sad news. My good friend's husband died in his sleep from a stroke 2 weeks ago

All I can say is the loss is easier knowing they were peaceful passings and no more suffering 🌺

[COL Mustard]

7. Thank you.

I'm not Jewish, but will help them sit shiva if needed. It's the least I can do for a minyan.

3. I'm so sorry

But she lived long enough to meet her first grandchild. That's probably what kept her going.

10. Thank you.

I worked with him for almost 20 years. Hard to believe. We spent almost every day in adjacent cubicles, and you really get to know someone with that much together time.

24. Long term work friends are a special category. when you spend 9-10 hours a day for all those years and understand

each other and support each other it forms a very special bond.

Real friends show up, especially in troubled times. I’m glad
you’re there for him.

23. Sad news. But we here know you will be there for your friend and that will mean more to him than you can know

A few months from now, after the numb wears off, he will need your friendship more than ever. No doubt in my mind you will be there for him, after others have moved on and the depth of his loss really starts to kick in.
