Not long ago, from another audio site, I learned from a good friend that one of my very best friends just passed away, suddenly just this past Monday!

His name was Bruce, and he leaves behind his lovely wife Linda and his three sons.
My deepest thoughts and prayers are with them, and with all the rest of his entire family (relatives) and all his close friends.

I had a bunch of great exchanges with Bruce for a period of approximately three years. And all of them were simply pure love, always.
Bruce loved Music, Movies (Stereo and Surround Sound), and he also loved Football (The Patriots).

He was the most peaceful person on this planet, and always extremely polite, with everyone.

I have been crying for over an hour now, and my heart is definitely ruptured (dechire).

Bruce, you will always remain a strong presence in my heart and soul. ... R.I.P. my very good friend ... I love you ... always

Bob
 
Bob, sometimes we have to give them a good one to even things up. God speed Bruce!
 
My sincere condolences, Bob. He sounds like a good person.

Rest in peace, Bruce.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss, Bob. Sadly at most of our age here, I am 51, we are set to see so many friends and family pass on.

Good wishes coming your way and on to your friend's family!
 
I am so sorry to read this Bob. My condolences to Bruce's family and friends.
 
Bob, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your good friend. I wish you and the rest of his family and friends all the best.
 
Bob,

For what it's worth, and it's not much, I recently lost my best friend of 38 years.
I've lost family members before and over time came to terms with them. This one however has got me down for the count.
It's been a month, and I think I feel worse now than the 1st week.

About all one can do I think is try and keep busy, just accept that you're going to be crying several times each day. In time, at least that's what they say, you'll come to grips with it and be able to at least accept it. I'm not sure about actually moving on, I can't imagine I could ever, but if I can somehow get it into a place where I can function normally in everyday life, that would be great, because at the moment, I'm running at about 30%.

One of the ICU nurses told me "this is the worst life can throw at you" , somehow I could see a parent losing a young child as even worse.
Thank God I've never had to endure the loss of one of my children, considering my current situation, I'm really not sure I could.

I wish you at least a few minutes of peace each day, and hopefully over time, those few minutes a day will grow into longer periods.
 
I'm sorry Ray. I had trouble getting through your post but you said it well.

Good words. ^

- In time of pain and sadness is also when we are more conscious that it also heals other pains that we could not fully get over in the past.
Life is all about birth and death and between; it is as balanced as all the stars in the universe want it to be.
 
Sorry to hear about your friend Bob my thoughts and prayer for you and his family.
 
Bob/Ray...my condolences to both of you and the families of your departed friends. May you get to a point where you can celebrate and enjoy their memories with a little bit less pain each time.
