** you can comment here or PM me, 4 words of comfort **
its really hard to handle when you lose someone close.. i would know from experience considering i have lost soo many people.. especially when youre young you dont know how to take it. When i was 11, my cousin died and he was just 21.. it was so unexpected and i didnt know what to do.. so i just held it all in.. then last august my grandma died and it was really hard.. i cried alot.. but i knew it was better because she wont be suffering anymore .. kind of like you and your friend.. it makes you feel better because they are not in pain anymore and they are going to a beter place.. in october my best friend died.. it was really sudden and i didnt know it was coming.. no one did.. it was really hard.. and the next month my other friend died.. then about a month and a half ago my uncle died.. he had cancer.. it had been for awhile so we were prepared and it was easier to handle.. then about 3 weeks ago my other uncle died and it was so sudden..death is honestly one of the hardest things to go through and to deal with.. its not easy.. but you know that they will be in a better place .. you might not think its for the best.. but they are with god now and that is definetly a better place
last night about midnight i just broke down in tears and was really shaky, i guess the period of shock was over and i hit me that Roger was really dead."tear falling" ..... Roger's funeral will be Monday morning at 11 AM at ****** United Methodist Church. Viewing the body will be at 10 AM also at the church. Lunch will follow in the Fellowship Hall. I really hope i can go to the funeral/viewing/lunch to pay my respects to Roger.HUGS N CUDDLES::
I GOT MORE NEWS ON ROGERRoger passed away this morning, July 9, at 12:35 AM in the Springfield Hospital. He had lapsed into a coma on Wednesday and never recovered from that until he passed. My children and I were with him until the end. It was a very painful road to travel until death came. He died with a smile on his face like he was glad that the suffering was over. The last 2 weeks he could not speak, eat, and had limited vision because of the cancer cells that had traveled to his brain. He was kept on morphine to handle the pain. I will miss him for he was my best friend of 44 years, but I know that his passing is for the best. I could stand to see him suffer so much.Monday, July 12---*******The funeral service will be on Monday, July 12, at the ***** United Methodist Church at 11 AM. Viewing will be at the church starting at 10 AM.Tuesday, July 13, ---******He will be taken to ******* for burial at Oak Hill Cemetery in Kirkwood for a private graveside military service. This takes place at 11 AM.2 PM a Memorial Service will be given in his honor at Bonhomme Presbyterian Church in ******* on Conway Road.
i just asked mom if i can go to roger's funeral tomorrow and she said NO and i ask why and she said cause dad has to help an neighbor and i don't want to go.GRR that pi$$ed me off because i really want to go to the funeral/body viewing/lunch .when i don't go to a close friend/relative's funeral and pay my respects to them, i feel bad and mad at myself.

Then just go.
yeah u must go. If your mum doesnt let u go thats a very cold hearted thing to do imo. I havnt lost many people i my time but it left me upset for weeks. Sorry to hear of ur loss BIG HUG
I know how your feeling, i don't know how old Roger was but i lost a friend when i was 14.(he was 13)It took a long time before it hit me, that he was actually gone. went to the funeral, open casket, said goodbye etc... wasn't for another few weeks it really hit me and i was really screwed up for a while after that...Anyway it's ok to grieve, i don't think coming here for comfort is the best idea though, go find people that knew him and talk to them, at least they know exactly where your coming from.
Sorry ^^ was me, i read through and got some of the details i missed just skimming
he was in his 40's
