Oh, if you could see it then you'd understand.

An old acquaintance of mine, someone with whom I was friendly, shared some laughs and a few hugs, died on Monday in a motorcycle accident. I can't quite swallow that sad feeling, and yet, I take considerable comfort in the very strong belief that 'shaking off this mortal coil' is just a precursor to an experience that we cannot understand here on ( Read more... )

Kevin;

I do understand what you're going through. One of my childhood friends passed away a few weeks ago after taking two Ecstacy pills and drinking too much water. She was only 21 years old. I went to my first wake/viewing for her; and although I only knew her when I was in elementary school, I still cried and felt very sad. I didn't even really know her, but the thought of the grief that her family and close friends have to go through; and seeing her body lying there, it was very emotional.

The death of those who are so young is hard to swallow. Even I haven't truly realized that life is too short.

The best thing to do during these times is to pray for their families and friends; but also to realize that he/she is safe. :]

Have a wonderful evening, Kevo ♥

I'm very sorry to hear that you knew these people. I actually heard about this..yesterday I believe...because my friend's friend knew them as well.

Like the person said above, I had someone I knew die in a car accident, and the hardest thing to do at a time like this is to form your feelings into words. I think not only is the death of this person hard, but the realization that they were so young, that it could've been you, is also very hard. It almost makes you numb, or maybe even feel less numb, because everything becomes so real, so much more intense, it's almost scary, you think maybe you might be next.
I wish you the best of luck with your studies, and a soft shoulder to cry on when you're feeling down.

I agree with you... death isn't the end, but a new beginning. May their journey to the afterlife be swift and secure, and may you keep their memory alive within you.
