Re: A moment of silence for a friend -
2 Weeks Ago
My dad has a close friend that was diagnosed with ALS. The only thing harder than losing a friend is watching one fade away with nothing to do about it but try to live each day as much as he can. He and a group of mutual friends are doing everything they can to check off most of his bucket list. Coolest thing I have ever seen a group of old guys do. As of last week all 8 of them have played Pinehurst, scuba dived and sky dived. Not sure whats next but this tragic diagnosis is making this group friends live like they have never lived before.

Sorry for your loss. I'm guessing he was a young man?

Re: A moment of silence for a friend -
2 Weeks Ago
I appreciate everyone saying what they're saying (typing), but I feel weird being the object of "sorry for your loss." I can't quite explain it, but "my loss"? That seems selfish to me. A guy lost his life - his loss trumps mine.
I hope that doesn't come off as rude to anyone. It just feels awkward or somehow wrong to feel like I'm the one who's lost something here. I mean, I get the reality that I no longer have a friend today that I had yesterday morning, but... that just seems... petty? Small? Insignificant? I don't know. Maybe I just suck at grieving? I feel very insecure about even sending this because I can't quite explain the feeling I get, and I'm hoping that, despite past experiences trying to say something in typed words that I know I can't explain very well in typed words being taken the wrong way, that this time it's taken the right way. Again, please just honor my pal, my friend, by saying the things you think but rarely say to your friends, loved ones, etc. I'm okay - I'm still alive and grateful for that, and am extra grateful for the friends that remain, while at the same time saddened by the loss of one. And if I've failed completely at getting even a piece of what I mean across, please again know I'm grateful for everyone's well wishes and don't mean to convey otherwise. Erik J.

Re: A moment of silence for a friend -

Your intitled to feel how you like and I can understand how you feel. True your friend lost his life. At a young age which always bothers me to hear. You did lose something and that something was a friend. No shame in feeling the way you do.
