Just venting - maybe I'll feel better 🙁

I just lost a dear friend to cancer...so sad to she her go, but she was suffering so badly these last 3 weeks as she was going through the final stages - she was like family to me.

I had to do reading and be a pall bearer - It was tough holding in the emotions...some how I managed to appear stoic. But tomorrow I get to go through another emotional roller coaster as I say my final goodbye during the burial service. I'm going to try to hold it in again.

Just remember, she is in a better place and not in pain IMO. 🙂
 
I've done it too man. Sucks. Like you, I had to tell myself that he was finally free from all the suffering he had to go through. Didn't help much, but it's what made it more bearable.

to your friend.
 
Wow, props to you for holding it in. We lost a professor once in my department and I was asked to be the student reader at the memorial because we were tight. I lost it by the end. 🙁
 
never feel like you have to completely get over it, too often today people are rushed in recovering from stuff like that. If you want to be sad about it then be sad for as long as you want. You miss your friend. And always remember her in a positive light, and know she's looking over you always, and smile about it, it's something to be happy for
 
That's a shame.. Sorry to hear. 🙁

Here's my life:

My mother's mother's best friend passed away last week, I was at the funeral on Saturday. Same as you, like family to us....

We got news only a day before that, that one of the longest employed guys at work had been home for the Holidays in Montreal with his family when he died watching the world junior hockey game on the couch. The funeral for that is tomorrow (Thurs). He was a super nice guy, and I'll miss him greatly at work..

2 funerals in 1 week... At least this one is not a 2 hr drive away like the other was.
 
Thanks everyone for your support and condolences. - I really appreciate it. I just got back and the burial service turned out very well - It's winter here, but the weather was sunny and around 65 deg. I can't help but think that she had something to do with it and those rays of sunshine were her smiling at us 😉. I did the pall bearer duty one more time and bid her farwell and remained stoic throughout...it almost seemed surreal to me. Perhaps when the finality hits - I will let it out in privacy.

why try to hold it. 🙁

let it all go man.
 
I've been through it as well ... and is was a relief to see the pain and suffering end. 🙁 So sad to let go though. I held a whole lot of it in for years as well, and only now can I start talking about it again.
 
Sorry for your loss, bud. My boss died of cancer about 3 years ago. She was strong-willed up until about the last week of her life, and then the pain and creep of death just took over her. Her only son (now my boss) is about my age and I was glad to help him through the loss of his mother. I only lost a dear friend and incredible boss (helped me out sooo many times it was like I was family), and I felt like a nervous breakdown was imminent at the service; I can't begin to imagine what he was going through.

:wine: or :beer: x However many it takes.
