For all the snipping we all do on here this group is often helpful. Yesterday at 5 AM my best friend since 7th grade died. He was 45 years old and left behind a wife who he started dating when he was 15 and 4 kids.
I spent yesterday crying and laughing, but at a complete loss for how to move forward. What to say to all the people who are reaching out to me.
I feel awful for his wife and kids. His parents having to bury their son and his brothers losing a huge part of themselves. I feel bad people are showing concern for me. I want all of the thoughts and prayers to be for his family not me.
The biggest problem is that other than my wife he was the person I always went to. The guy I shared the biggest moments of our lives with. We were each other’s best men and the first people to visit the hospital when each other’s kids were born.
For anyone who has gone through this please tell me it gets easier. Is there something I can say to his wife to pause the pain? How do I help his kids grieve the loss of their father? Help his mom who was a second mom to me through this?
I am lost and devastated.
