one of my best friends just died

[Miserabilia]

And I really mean just. He was hit by a truck this morning on his way to school and died a few hours ago. I just found out.
That's fucking life for you I guess.

[Dying Ember]

I'm really sorry to hear that... *hugs*

[Vermilion]

I'm so sorry I can't imagine all the emotions your going though.

[Miserabilia]

thanks both of you :(

currently chatting and sharing the news to other friends and classmates. There'll be a moment of silence/memorial tomorow at my school... I can't even beleive it and it's hapening so fast. surreal

I... that's just terrible... i've found tons of news reports on it, trying to think of what to say right now, and since i know there's not much to say i'll just say this- i'm here for you and i'd be lying if i said i wouldn't step on my bike and go find you and hug you to happiness!

i'm worried about how calm you appear to be... i mean, -serious events- like this one shouldn't stay cropped up in your mind...

i, uh, i really wish you the best... :c

[Miserabilia]

Thanks guys.. and don't worry it's not cropped up, I've cried and feel like I'm about to throw up and shaking still, etc.
thanks :(

Man... sorry to hear that bro.. I remember when I was in elementary school and one of my best friends died.. I remember his dad coming to pick him up that friday for a family reunion in alabama (I lived in NY at the time)... sunday morning i flipped open the newspaper and found out that him, his dad, his mom, and his baby sister died when his dad fell asleep at the wheel and crashed head-on into the oncoming lane... his other two brothers survived (they were sitting in the third row).. My friends and I grieved for days and I had a dream of him grown up to my age a year ago... he seemed at peace and majestic as if nothing ever happened.. But, I grant well wishes to you, your friends/peers, and your friend's family.

oh I am so sorry man :( . I lost one of my best friends in a car accident, it is absolutely heart breaking :(

[Luminous]

I'm so sorry Dan. That's absolutely horrible. I wish I could say I understand what you're going through. My heart goes out to you.

[xXoblivionXx]

I'm sorry for your loss Dan :hug: I'm here for you if you want to talk

[ImCoolBeans]

I am so sorry for your loss, cheese. If you need anything at all, or anyone to talk to, I am always here.

[Hudor]

That's terrible. I'm so sorry for your loss Dan. I can only guess what you're going through. If you ever need to talk you can always pm me. Stay strong. :)

[Hideous]

I am so sorry for your loss. Stay strong. My condolences.

Thanks everyone, it really means a lot :')

Just going to vent a little about how these two days were.

basicly my mom had to pick me up to tell me, I could tell someone died from how she walked in, but I instantly thought "oh no, grandma/grandpa",
I could never expect my 15 year old friend to die.

I had no idea how to react I just said "oh". I was in disbeleif, like everyone I thought it was some kind of joke or they read the wrong name or something.
I didn't cry and I didn't really say anything on the way home. I just started chatting and posting to other friends and classmates when it really started to hit.
A really sad song came on and I cried a lot before I went to bed.

Basicly I didn't get any sleep and I had a bunch of dreams about him stil being alive.
I didn't really want to go to the memorial but I felt obligated and I'm glad I did.

All classmates gathered and a few teachers said some things, and most people cried. We had a little ritual of taking some flowers and pictures to a reserved classroom and everyone that knew him sat down there and a lot of people gathered around, nobody talked and everyone was just crying. When everyone had stoped crying some people started leaving untill only his good friends were still there. We just recollected memories and eventualy talked about how it felt, what would happen. It was really nice and a huge releif. We started crying and ended laughing.

Later on I visited his parents and looked at his body (which was ofcourse fixed for mourning people, though you could still tell the lethal injuries). It was a bit scary but it was great closure. The parents still were too busy making arrangements and calling other family about what happened to really mourn but the mother was essentialy crying the whole time obviously.

I got back home and talked for a long time with a good friend and my mother and I feel a bit better now.
I feel like basicly we've all ran out of tears, my eyes are starting to hurt and I have a weird pain in my chest.
Hopefuly I'll get some sleep today. I'm not returning to school untill I feel okay enough so definetely not this week. I'm going to visit the parents every day and me and a friend are coming to the cremation, those that were his classmates but weren't invited by the parents personaly will have a seperate memorial that day at school which I hope to visit as well.

Anyway, got that off my chest. This thing will probably last months but I feel like the worst part is almost over.

I guess it's good that you're coping pretty well. No one expects you to get over it quickly so just take your time, don't rush the healing process.

I'm sorry to hear you had to go through all this. I've been through the same not too long ago, but with a family member. The worst part is almost over, as you said, you'll soon go from crying for him to remembering him with a smile. Stay strong Dan! You can do it.
