My friend who is 22 just died tonight. I am feeling super numb and the tears still haven't started yet.

Not sure how I feel. Sad, numb, empty, happy that she is out of suffering..just...all around unreal.

(((Hugs)))

*hugs*

Hugs. xx

Just hugs for now.

Of course it seems unreal at first.

When you start to get your mind around this event, look to Smileywoman's sticky at the top of this board. It is just loaded with helpful quotes.

hugs and prayers

I was just there in December. If you need to talk, feel free to PM me.

So sorry you're going through this right now. Hug.

I am so mad right now, because my friend did everything perfectly by the books. She never did drugs or drank a lot. She volunteered in her community and she was so caring and loving. She never committed any crimes and she made it an effort to help everyone in need.

She died at 22 with a rare form of cancer. How can someone with such a good life die. It just isn't fair.

BIG HUGS!! xxx
I've just lost a close family friend last saturday in a motorbike accident, its affected me in ways i didn't think it would, only thing i can say is just be strong, feel free to pm if you'd ever like to! Its not something you should go through alone, try talk to family/friends.
Just remember only the good die young, god clearly needed a new angel up there!
Take care!x

Was it Ewing's Sarcoma by any chance? I had a friend in high school who was diagnosed at the beginning of our senior year and died a little over a year later. I know it's not "rare" per se, but it seems to take out girls a lot more than boys.

Hugs. So sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm so, so, sorry.

I'm sorry your friend suffered, and I'm sorry you lost a friend. These experiences are usually life changing for everyone. I sincerely hope your friend will remain in your heart as you continue your own journey. In all my years (and as previously established, I am VERY old)the only good I can find in the premature end to a good life is when the survivors triumph to honor the lost opportunities of their friend.

It was a brain tumor that spread to her bones. She never told anyone exactly what she had, because she feared we would spend so much time researching it.

She just told me it was a super rare type of tumor.

My daughter in law has a brain tumor. It is just heartbreaking. I hope you are able to cry and then able to smile about the love you shared.

For your friend, I am sorry her life was short, but I'm glad she didn't suffer any longer. It is such a horribly sad thing to watch.

More hugs
xoxo

First off let me start by telling you how sorry I am for your loss!! Of course tears haven't happened yet!! You are in shock! I can't even try to imagine what your going through.... I have faith but I am not a very religious person... But I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that people, come into this world and into our lives, to teach us something! Sometimes our dearest loves times on earth are cut short but they were here for a bigger purpose then we will ever know! (hugs)

(((Hugs)))

I lost a 21 year old friend a little over 2 months ago, in circumstances I believe to be incredibly unfair as well. It's so hard when a life is cut so short.
My thoughts are with you and everyone who was blessed with knowing your friend.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Hugs, kk~

I'm so sorry for your loss, YYD, and sorry for your friend that she didn't get to live a long and healthy life. Hugs to you.

Hugs to you.

The funeral is this Sunday. I am already having panic attacks about going and I could barely sleep.

Do you think I am going to regret in the future if I don't go?

Yes.

Its ok to cry, to be emotional, to lose it at funerals. There will be others doing the same. If you don't do anything of those things, that's fine too.

Go.

Yes. If you loved your friend, this is your last chance to honor her memory and her family. No one likes funerals. They are sad, emotional, and often depressing. However, sometimes they can be healing and life affirming. There are no second chances on this. Just go.

I will go to the funeral. I just need thoughts of strength because I am afraid I am going to lose it seeing her in her casket. Gosh, I am not sure if I can do this.
