My friend died :(

I am SO sorry to hear about your loss. How horrible!! I hope they find the people who did this. Have they already? I hope justice is served not only for the loss of your friend but the woman they were beating also. I really honestly can't tell you anything that is going to make you feel better, no one can. I just lost my grandpa in May, he was young and I was very close to him. No one words were of any comfort for me at the time, i'm not trying to make you feel down but saying this. My point is time will heal. It will always hurt and you will always feel sad but eventually you will cry less and hurt a little less. It's been a few months but I cry less and less and am now able to start remembering him and smiling instead of crying. It will happen. One thing I can say is just surrond yourself with family and friends who knew and loved him. Sometimes it feels harder because everyone is so sad but it helps. And just remember everything you're feeling is normal.

Oh, I am sorry to hear about that. Wow, I am just totally shocked at what happen with those people beating up a woman at the church. Did they catch the people who did it? I hope so.

I doubt if there is anything that would make you feel better about this, it was a friend and nothng anyone can say makes it better. Stopping to help is almost out of the question any more, this is what happens. It hurts so bad when we lose some one to illness but to have it happen like this is even worse. You know what kind of helping person he was, and you can be assured he will go to a better place for giving his life to help.

i feel sorry about your friend. hope the people who did that to him were imprisoned! i hate how other people can be so heartless and cruel. i feel sorry for the family of your friend too. just pray and help to give justice to what happened to your friend. you should feel better!

Oh my gosh. That's really horrible. Were they able to capture those people who did this to him? Weren't there other people in the area? Where did this happen? I've always thought that the world is a much much more safer place since there are cops everywhere. That's really sad. What happened to the woman? I really feel bad for what had happened. He really deserves justice.

i am so sorry to hear that .the two bad men should been punished for their behavior . please keep your body and believe god

This is so sad.I'm sorry for your loss. There are really some people who do bad things. It's just so sad that he had to die because he was trying to help someone. I hope they catch those guys who did it. And I offer a prayer to his family.

That is terrible. It is so sad. I'm not sure you can do much to make you feel better right now. You might try helping the family, sometimes that helps. You could fix them a meal or see if there is anything they need. Just being there will probably help them. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

My condolences to you and your friends over this sick even. Twisted is the exact name for it. Was the woman he tried to help also killed? Were the killers caught? There are not many ways to feel better about something like that. It will take time. I'm sure you will think of something nice to do for the family.

I'm so sorry for your loss and his family's loss. He is out of pain now. I'm not sure what your beliefs are to help you with this. I don't know if you believe in heaven, if you do, I'm sure he's there.

How awfull .. I am so sorry to hear such a thing.. you and your friends family will be in my prayers this evening.. time heals all wounds.. in time when you think of your friend you will have fond memories and will smile ... take pride in knowing he was trying to do good for someone .. you can think of him as a hero. It's just so sad that people don't think twice about taking another persons life..

your friend soul will be blessed for his kind heart and for attempting to help someone ineed.

Awww I am really sorry to hear about that terrible thing happen..:-( I wish those guys who beated the woman will be beated 10 times..:-( I really know what your situation now...But don't think about it too much and better take a rest..God bless

Thats a terrible terrible thing that happened. I very sorry to hear that. Its very disturbing how it can happen to anyone. I pray that you guys will be able to accpet what happened.

I am so sorry hon! How devastating! What is this world coming to? My thoughts and prayers are with you. I think it's going to take time and prayer to heal this wound. Again I am so sorry.

I'm stunned and I really don't know what to say Tiff (kind of odd knowing how wordy I can get eh?)... The only thing I can say is that your family friend did something noble and admirable... its unfortunate the situation turned out like it did. I know none of this makes it better, but its part of what I'm thinking here. I don't know what I can say or do to make you feel better Tiff. I just hope for the best for you and for your friend's family. Everyone else said some of the things like crying or shouting if you need to let it out. The healing process, it'll take time, especially for something like this. Remember you can also talk to us if it is really needed. Hmm. Maybe some good stories about your friend could help. It doesn't have to be here Tiff, you can write them privately to collect your memories, feelings and thoughts. It's also a decent idea since it would be good to remember the joy and goodness your friend brought to you, to your family, to his family, to the community. This rememberance can be long or short... one time or multiple time... but it could help you out. Other than that, keep with your family and his family too. I'm sure its needed for those involved.

My GOD what is wrong with people these days!!!! And these are just the stories we hear about. Like everyone else, I am very sorry all of you are having to go through this. I think only time is going to help you feel better. You probably need to just go ahead and let sorrow have her way, that's why it's there. Bless you and yours

I do apologize for this terrible situation. I am praying for you and everyone that it has affected. My advice to you is to pray and ask God for peace and understanding. Even though its hard to understand. I know that its hard right now, but remember the good moments that you all shared and comfort each other at this time. Being supportive to one another will help get you through. If you want to cry-cry, scream-scream, laugh-laugh, but do whatever you need to to allow the grief to run its course. Don't keep things bottled inside find someone to talk to, someone that will just listen and be a shoulder for you to cry and lean on. I am praying for you all. johnson3

oh iam so sorry pa. iam so sad to heard about this. i pray god for you and her/his family. take care.

That is really sad! He was trying to help someone and that is what happens? Did they catch the guys? Did the woman survive and tell the story? How often did he and his wife travel in different cars when they were at the same place?
