My sincere sympathy to you,and to the loved ones of your friend.He does live still,though,and always will.I have a genuine belief that the ones we love here,we meet them again and again when we pass from here.As a believer in reincarnation,i feel that the people closest and dearest to us,those souls,we meet in every lifetime,and though such a person may next time be your brother or child or parent-the resonant soul connection ensure that we are again in a loving relationship with them,whether it be relative or friend.The reverse is of course also true-the ones we had serious beef with,we encounter them too,btw.

My best friend and i feel we have known each other before,in other lifetimes-we have a very strong connection,and often have telepathic and empathic connection.On Tuesday morning i got one of those stop-you-in-your-tracks moments,and the feeling: Phone D now,and find out how she is(we don't speak every day)
well i text'd her,and got a message back:"My goodness i was JUST thinking of you!"that happens an awful lot with us-and found that she was in urgent need of painpills,so i could phone the hubby in time to come pick up some at home for her,before he went into town.
You will meet your friend again,i am completely convinced of that.Bless you both.

while we live on in the minds and hearts of those that love us we are immortal

i do not post much,i am more the silent observing kind of person,but i feel that a few words are in order here

You and Your friends have my deepest sympathy
the way You speak about Your friend truely makes me feel that He is one of the few reasons that makes me proud to be a human being...

i am certain that some day,some where,You will be reunited...

i wish You strength and peace,Friend

-DD

That was very touching, sorry for your loss.

Don't know what to say man, deeply sorry for your buddy's passing.

I am sure he is out there somewhere maybe in cyber space reading your amazing and heartfelt post.

Hugs and love

I am truly sorry for your loss. Having loss my father to lung cancer I can only imagine what your friend had to go through. I believe cancer to be such an inhumane disease. One that does not dignify the human soul and person.

I wish they will find a way or some sort of cure that could spare the loved ones going through such a cruel way of departing this world. I know that there is a cure out there it is just so damn hard for this Pharma Companies to let go of their money making machine and actually do something for Humanity!

May your friend have a great journey onward. The beauty of all this is that there is no death but we continue to live on in other dimensions.

I am sorry to hear about your friend, but I assure the game is not over. Just like a video game, when you die you have extra lives to live and keep playing. The hardest part about the extra lives is, that you are not allowed to bring your memories with you.

Last Chapter

The unbearable pain of saying goodbye

On Sunday the 17th I saw him for the last time, I had promised him to paint his house so that he could move to this new location. After I came back I sat beside him next to his wheelchair .. Oxygen tubes hanging from his nose, barely we ate together , he couldn't swallow his food anymore , cancer blocked his troth.
,
After awhile he had to move from the one corner to the other in search of air.. although he already was hooked on pure oxygen.. The signs of a dying man...

Then I drove him to one corner in the house , where one window stood partially open, I watched him with tears in my eyes, I grabbed him and rubbed him . Then I said , can I do something for you after you're leaving earth,is there something you wished to say or do? He looked at me, and nodded ,and said you're here thats all I need right now..

We cried...

Then I had to go he was so tired and needed the strength to survive the rehousing ,knowing this was the last time we would see each other in life...Because I couldn't be on the day all our friends would move him over.

I grabbed him,and he said I love you man, I said I love you too very much... we looked at eachother knowing he had to go soon....

On the day of his death I wasn't there the distance between were I live and he lived was to big , I couldn't be there on time .

I called my other best friends up ,and tearful they said we just lifted him up on his bed , He died minutes ago..

That was the end of his life here on earth..

The last step is his funeral on Monday, then I'm going to close this chapter in remembrance of a great friend....

I am so sorry you could not be there to say goodbye one last time. I am sure he knew how much you loved him.

Your pain is so obviously so raw at the moment, but it will and does get better.

I was going to say stay strong but it is wrong to do so, cry and grieve. Take as long as you need to.

You write on here with such amazing poetry, poise and dignity it just humbles me. It also made me email my best-friend who I have not talked in several years just to say sorry that I have not been in touch and that I loved him.

So if anything good can come of this; it is that your post has brought people closer to one another not just on here but in the real world.

I am sure today will be hell for you, but you and your cyber warriors will swap stories of him and your time together and you will start the healing process.

Good luck with today.

That REALLY touched me..Your friend is Very lucky to have you and a friend! I hope my friends love and remember me the same..Peace to you and your buddies...I believe you will most certainly see each other again!

Accept my sympathy for losing such a great friend. The menace of cancer in our world today is eating deep into our generation day by day. But with very conscious approach to daily health, most opportunistic diseases such as cancer can be avoided. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Amen!
