My Best Friend is dead...

[Rainngirl]

141. I'm sad

that you have to go through this. My best male friend of almost 30 years (and former partner for 8 years) died suddenly in February. It's horrible and it felt like my heart was ripped out. At least he had one brother who cared enough to tell me first, before it was publicly known. But his other brother cleared out his house (still with some of my things in it) and I'll never get my things back because it all got taken to Goodwill. We didn't know he was in trouble physically. Like you, I'm the one with heart issues. It's so weird and feels so random. He was one month away from retiring. He was all packed to move to Arizona and I was going to visit him. This is testing my faith (if I even have any), for sure. Good luck with getting through your grief. I guess we just have to try to get philosophical about these losses. And it can spur us to get in better shape. Bless you.
