I am so sorry that this happened. Its ashame that God does not tell us when our time is up but take it as a lesson to live everyday with purpose and fullfillment because tomorrow isn’t promised.

I’m back :)

What I wanted to ask was did your friend have any family and if he did do you know them?

Oh, poor kid :S

But at least you have someone to share his life with, I know it may not seem that way now but in a few months maybe less you will have someone to laugh with over how he used to be, what he got up to etc but more importantly you have someone to share the grief with.
Be there for each other :)

i am very sorry to hear that about your friend, gokumane1 is right you should think about all the good times that make you laugh and cry, to lose someone close to you is very shocking, and unexpected for you. but you must carry on in life and do your best in things for your dearly departed friend, and remember him as a very good friend. again i am sorry to hear, and hope you feel better soon. :)

I’m glad you got to speak with him before this happened. It is very sad. I have lost three friends suddenly… it is a horrible pain, but one that will bring you and the people who knew him closer together. I definitely know how you feel, and I hope your good memories together console you through a tough time.
