God, what a horrible experience that was. My friend died Saturday morning of cancer, he was only 56. His wife is just devastated, she looks like she just wants to go far away. Everyone was smiles and laughing, ect. at the wake but the tension could be cut with a knife. I am a very emotional person, I shatter easily. Someone in the band with me and on the track team back in high school was killed by a drunk driver and I was floored. I didn't know the guy nearly as well as others but I was devastated, I can't even being to talk about how I feel now. I just want to get this off my chest, before I burst out crying again

Wow that is horrible. I know what you're going through though, even though that sounds weak. If you want to talk about it, drop me a PM. Don't bottle it up.

Pastfinder: I can relate: I lost my youngest brother in a traffic accident 10 weeks ago. He was only 36. Like CorporateRecreation suggests, talk it out with someone.

Cancer sucks and I know what your dealing with. My family just had a close friend about 50 years old pass away from cancer.

My condolences.

sorry to hear about, I guess my family has a different outlook on life. A couple of days before my dad's cousin died we had a going away party for her. Everyone was laughing, drinking, ect. We all feel that it is a part pf life and nothing to cry about.
