I lost a friend this week
12 years ago
General
She was only 25. Her passing was a complete surprise, the only evidence that we have is that she experienced a concussion earlier in the week due to bad reactions to medication. Autopsy results are ongoing at this point.
I hadn't seen her in person for quite a few months, but we talked almost every day online or through texts. She was always ready to hang out and play video games or watch movies, but work would always get in the way for one of us or the other. I was hoping to see her later this month for my 25th Birthday celebration, but I'll only be able to envision her warching over us. I feel very guilty that we put off seeing each other for so long... if there's a friend that you miss, please reach out and talk to them sooner rather than later!
I miss you, Jill. I hope you're in a better place.

I know all to well what its like to abruptly lose someone, a childhood friend of mine got shot to death over some drug deal a long time ago. It sucks and it hurts and its just not fucking fair, but you gotta keep marching on bro. We all gotta. I know we havent talked too much but if you EVER need an extra pair of ears and eyes to let out some feelings to I will gladly drop whatever im doing and listen up.
it's really a wake-up call, that this sort of thing can happen to anybody at anytime
thanks a lot, I really appreciate that <:J The same goes for you!!
Idk, everything surrounding her loss is very confusing, nobody even knows why it happened still. All of her services have been completely private to her close family, as well. So at this point it still feels like she's going to pop up and call me at any moment, and be like "just kidding," which is a very bizarre state to be in ._.;
I'm glad you've been around though lately, I thought I wasn't ever going to see you again, so that's a notch on the bright side!
I remember going through that exact state of mind when my high school friend died from car crash injuries back in 2000. I had known Todd for years and years and I was just finally really starting to connect with him, really becoming a friend to him. He had always been a friend to me all along. He was so kind, it's still hard to accept on some level.
The hardest moment was a few days after he passed. It was in between periods and in the enormous hubbub I suddenly caught a glimpse of him. Todd was right there! I ran up to him, and it was a completely different person who simply looked like him from behind. That moment of realization... It was one of the most awful experiences I've ever had to face.
But the fact is that he is gone, and the memories of such a wonderful person still inspire me to grow more open, more generous, more kind. As inhuman and horrifying a place as i see the world around me becoming, Todd still gives me a spark of hope that people can still be moved by kindness.
So as you can imagine, I'm very touched by your comment that just being around is helping you feel a little brighter. And again, I am so so sorry, for the loss of your friend.
