Loss is a feeling I'd rather not feel.

[greyfore]

I found out last night that a friend had passed away.

Felt like I was coping quite well last night, but this morining before I was due to start work, I felt like I was starting to choke back tears.

Was given the day off with the option of taking the rest of the week off, which I might take.

While we were never close, a friend is still a friend and I'd feel the same no matter how long it was since I last saw them.
