I’m very sorry, Cell. I hope the rest of her family is able to cope with the tragic loss.

Dont worry hun…thats how I found out about my friend…she was 18 and died tuesday night….i know exactly how you are feeling….if you need somone to talk to…im here….its hard….and I know its harder when trying to deal with it alone…im sorry…

I’m sorry Cell. I really am. And I agree; hearing about it on Facebook does suck but don’t blame it. A phone call would have been better but not any less hurtful. Death is never easy if for no other reason that we know what it is but will never comprehend the reasons. And we never get to choose when we die. It is never a choice. But our life is not our own really. We don’t choose when we are born either. This is God’s plan. We may question his ways but never His wisdom. All my heartfelt prayers are with you tonight. ♥

Yeah Cell my deepest condolences to you and all the people that knew your friend.

The statistics on death have been out. 1000 out of 1000 people that ever have lived on earth will die or are dead. So little time to do that which counts for all eternity.
May the Lord be gracious to you and yours.

@roofdonkey. My apologies for correcting you, my love, but there is exactly one person who died and is still alive today. We both know who I’m talking about.

My condolences Cell. That really is a terrible way to learn of ones death.

Don’t use facebook. Once I used it to see if I had any family members out there somewhere (the people I found were not only not my family but didn’t even want to talk to me) and to see bad classmates. Anyway that must be horrible to find out about passing deaths that way. I know they say you should always see things for yourself in person but I guess this also hits hard when you hear it.

Personally I don’t like death either. I wish I could live like they use to like thousands of years ago people could live over nine hundred, seriously I wish I could have that. Sorry for your loss btw.

“For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, THEREFORE ALL HAVE DIED; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.”

Yes, even tho some have been raised, ALL have died. (Including Christ!)

Oh Man! :-( I’m sorry…

But you won’t like it anyway when a friend passed away (unnaturally)…

A few years back, I found out from a friend that one of my friends died in a road accident. It was rather sudden. And my friend was with him when he breathed his last - just as the ambulance arrived.

Last year, a friend’s dad passed away. Less than one year later, his elder brother jumped from their 9th floor balcony. I can imagine the loss his mother felt. (Compound that with the surviving children/sons - the younger one is/was unemployed, the other is a druggie/alcoholic/substance abuser - he leaves one substance and gets into another.) The mom is an obstetrician.

Worse, my mom lost her elder brother, when she was in college. Before she got married. They got a call from the railways to take possession of the body. Till today no one knows what happened. This must’ve been around 1970 or so… My grandfather had good faith in God. I’m told he studied the Bible a bit more after that loss. He got a lot more questions about God…

Sorry to digress on my own stories. New of death tends to make everyone meander with what all they know.

I’m sorry for your loss. And for the loss faced by the family/families. I hope you will be able to be there for them. With whatever you can. It feels lousy when I hear of these deaths.

Pray for the comforting of the families…

I’m very sorry to hear about your friend.

I agree. I also hate the obnoxious way Facebook suggests that you “reconnect” with a deceased friend. One of the reasons I finally opted out. Maybe it doesn’t do that anymore…
