Re: I watched my friend die today.*****update*****
I'm heartbroken.

6 years ago I took a job away from friends and family. I came several hours away from everyone and everything I'd ever known.

I set up home in a new place not knowing a soul. I came for work. I just couldn't find anything where I was.

This man worked at the new place. 25 years older than me. Immediately we became friends. We laughed, we drank, we ate together. He is married and welcomed me into his family. I spent many nights at his home with his wife. Spent every Father's Day with him.

Not a holiday that passed did he not invite me over, knowing I'd be sitting home.

He was my friend. My true friend.

On Saturday he was put in ICU for organ failure. Yesterday his heart stopped. He had brain damage because of it. Today, his wife asked me to be there while they pulled the plug.

What a heart wrenching thing to witness.

My heart is in shambles.

Please pray for Merrill (Chico)

I loved that man and my heart is broken.

Thank you GLP.

Sorry for your pain. I watched a close loved one die of organ failure.

Your friend sounds like an admirable man we would all be honored to know.

Condolences.

We are often brought together at these times for a reason,
Merrill is blessed to have a true freind like you.
I trust you will be there for her as it's often harder to deal with the aragement's post parting and family's often need a level head through the process.

I hope the greif is short lived for you.

I was by my Dad's side, and my Mom's side when they both passed away. It is a natural part of life. While we are left behind to ponder, they have already moved on. Soon, we will be joined again, to rejoice in the after-life.
Do not be troubled. this is just another journey of life.
~May your heart be comforted, as time goes on.

There are no words that are sufficient for your loss today. Your grief will morph and change but it will always have a place in your heart. It is what allows us to love so unconditionally. My heart is breaking for you. Be gentle to yourself and take life a bit slower for a while.

This might sound cold so bear with me. I'm not sorry for your loss. I am very happy for your gain. Something that never belonged to you was shared with you for awhile so you could see true beauty. You haven't lost anything. Something that was on loan to you to help you and make you a better person was called home.

Various people who've gone through near-death experiences say that what they experienced was so embracing and gratifying, they actually didn't want to come back to the here-and-now. Some have reported that NDE made them lose their fear of death.

For people like the OP and others, ultimately the only way around the heartbreak is to realize spirituality and religiosity have to take on more importance than in the past, if a person's level of non-secularism isn't already there right now.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your friend sounded like an Earth Angel. Here is a poem that always gives me solace at times like these:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Hi Deplorable Azila_Again

Im so sorry to read about your loss, the fact you have decided to tell us about your loss shows how emotional you are feeling. Reading this it seems he may have been more than just a friend, I might even go as far as to say he may have been a `farther figure` and role model for you. This would make your feeling of loss even greater.

It was a very brave thing for you to be there for his wife while they pulled the plug, and that is something that is very powerfull and carries mant many emotions with it... I trully empathise for you.

Its hard to show someone that it will get better the pain will ease and a veil will get lifted. Many people will say you will move on.... in a way that is true, but more so you will move with it as time passes.

I will say I am proud you did what you did....What will stay with you and his wife is..... He did not die alone.. he had family there.... and you are part of it.

Thanks for sharing this.

Sorry for your loss. You were blessed to have such a wonderful friend. Let your wonderful memories live in your heart.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear."

My best friend died 11 years ago and my dad died in April.

I kept trying to mend my heart, which made it worse, now it's busted open, and unbreakable.

Keep remembering.

Sounds like you got to spend time with a true soul mate.

It's as almost as if the genuine intensity of such a relationship - a joining of souls - is so powerful that it cannot last in this world of lower density.

I've been there brother. And I too lost that person. The loss is mitigated by the memories of the time we had together - genuine, caring, honest, reciprocal and meaningful.

Cycles of life and death are not natural. You're instincts are correct. We should not have to go through this. It's an insane asylum. I will not be incarnating into this 3D reality again if I can help it.

I recently lost a dear friend also. I'll never forgive that.
