Really Sad: I feel like crumbling on the inside...

One of my best friends from life (we originally met in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since) posted on Facebook today that her older brother passed away. I'm devastated. I feel numb and can't stop crying. I'm shaking.

This is especially heartbreaking (it would be heartbreaking regardless, but you understand) because my friend lost her older sister when she was only 12 years old due to drug problems. Her family has already been through so much pain and doesn't deserve this. He was only 36 years and they think that it was heart problems. He was, over all, healthy.

I seriously feel like I'm falling apart. I want to be strong for her, but have no idea how. Her brother was like my big brother was a fantastic friend. He used to call me "Winnie" cause he thought I looked like the girl from the Wonder Years. I used to call him "Wayne" because he seriously looked like the older brother to Fred Savage.

I apologize that this is rambling, but I didn't know where to let all of this out. H is out of town for the week, I had a bad day at work, and this way the final blow to the day. 

I want to crawl in a hole and stay there.

  • Oh sweetie. I don't know what to say except I'm here if you need to talk. You can PM me or FB (we are friends, right?). It's really rough especially when someone is so close to you and also so young. You and your friend's family are in my T&P.

    I actually don't think we are friends on FB. :( Thanks for the T&Ps. Work tomorrow is going to rough.
