Doing my taxes and feeling sorry for myself...until I learnt

[HipChick]

a son's friend had passed away... a suicide..he was barely into adulthood..

Cannot even begin to feel how she is feeling, she just mentioned that she would be losing her job of 13yrs 3 days ago..

a parent should never had to bury a child..

1. I'm so sorry. And I agree...that should never have to happen.

:(

2. The most horrific day of my life was going to a friends funeral.

He was 19. Died of an overdose from cocaine and alcohol.

Watching (and hearing) his parents made me sick to my stomach. I barely made it through the service.

I imagine having a child die is worse than having a parent die.

3. I can't even imagine right now..

4. I'm so sorry

Yes, hearing things like this puts our own current issues into perspective. It's a jolt.

I'm so sorry for your friend's family and their pain. Death of a child is tragic at any time; suicide compounds it, I think.

Hugs to your friend.

5. The memorial is going to be this sunday

I'm not going to be able to attend......there was no warning,no nothing,he seemed cheerful and normal as usual that day..just decided he didn't want to live any more..he was all of 19..
