If your best friend died today what would you do? My best friend is my fiancee and I would find it so hard to live. I live for being with him as he is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Since my mother's death, many years ago, Death in general has become less a thing for me to fear, and more a fact of life. I was alone with her in her home as she passed, something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I've lost my best friend in her, no other has come close to that.
I too lost my mother. I was at the hospital with her when she died. I stepped out to get a soda and when I came back in she was gone. I regrett not being in the room with her but often think that maybe she would have thought that I could not have handled it.
