Close friend died today, only 38 yrs old :(

[MABS]

Says it all really, one of my dearest friends,aged 40 yrs old, suffered a massive heart attack and died immediately. I am in total shock and can't really believe it, he wasn't ill , there was no warning. I am in bits about it .

im so sorryxx

Really sorry, shocking .

thanks, can't cry at all today, just numb now.

Oh MABS you poor thing, what a terrible shock

Do you have someone with you....hope you're not on your own?

how sad

am alone for a few hrs now, but by choice honest.

so so sad to hear you are going through this . exactly the same thing happened to my friend when we were both 26. tis a bloody dreadful shattering thing to happen.

So sorry, that's awful

Hos sad. My uncle died the same way. He was almost 40 and 3 months away from getting married. It is so totally shocking.

Oh Mabs have just found out that a friend of mine died last night. He was only 35 married with a son and I was only talking to his wife about seeing him yesterday.

He had cancer so it is different but I am finding it so hard to believe.His son and my daughter went to school together and nursery.

I am trying to find the words to talk to his wife without breaking down myself. I saw this thread and just thought how unjust life is sometimes.

I am so very sorry Glitterfairy, as you say, its all so bloody unfair.

I couldnt cry when I found out but am blubbing now and at least I knew it was on the cards but we thought he had another year.

I cant imagine what a shock it must be for you Mabs.

You will cry when you don't expect to, and be numb at other times - just go with it Glitterfairy. Do you know when funeral will be?

so sorry xxxxxx

I'm sorry for your loss

I've just spoken to them and the funeral will be Monday or Tuesday, they will let me know.

Couldnt speak for crying but actually that felt right.

Thanks Mabs how are you doing?

am not great hun, and have to wait til 19 or 20 feb for funeral.

Take care of yourself. The funeral of my friend is on Tuesday next week

my dad died the same way age 42. The suddenness is weird. The consolation is you can be thankful there was no long drawn out illness - if you have to die it is a pretty good way to go.

You are so right, better suddenly, but v shocking for us left here. Wish funeral was nxt week tho

Oh Mabs. I am so sorry.I lost a friend recently too about the same age.Just dreadful.Hope talking about him helps.

I know what you mean about the funeral Mabs. Its like being in limbo until then isn't it?

i feel like i'm in the twilight zone, and just heard burial is not til 21 Feb.
