RIP Helen

I am so sorry, it's hard to lose someone we love. There is not a lot we can do, try to remember all the happy days you spent with your friend.

@akalinus First of all, I am very sorry for your loss. I have lost my grandfather, friends and my animals and it is very hard. I will always miss them and remember them.

very heard but you cope with it.The best you can

Just happened to me too. Can't put it into words yet. But I will.

Oh, no. I am so sorry for the loss of your best friend, Jo Ann. Keep her memories alive in your heart. This has been a rotten month for us.

I'm sorry for your loss. My friend just lost her husband last month and it's hard for her. The only significant loss in my life was my dogs. I know it seems heartless with my parents and brother gone, but we were a dysfunctional family.

Sorry Jo Ann. One reason I am glad with online friendships is, that loss would not leave me feeling helpless. I do understand your pain. That said, I am more scared of losing people I take for granted. There are many friends in my life who I believe keep on helping me directly or indirectly and are there for me, when chips are down. I have not given them I feel the status they deserve in my life. I mean, they talk in vernacular, they are traditional, they are orthodox and they don't joke much and they are older than me. Nevertheless, they are like the pillars of the building that will suddenly make you realize how important they were. I fear losing them.

such sad news - hope she lives on through your happy memories of your times together

So sorry to hear about the loss of your close friend Jo Ann. I hope you are holding up well in this time of loss. We are constantly reminded how fragile and short life is when we lose friends, family members and other loved ones. That's why we should cherish every waking moment with all those close in our life. I have never lost a close friend yet, but I've been worried about my friend for years, as he has become obese. I always worried that he would have a heart attack. However, he has recently met this wonderful woman, and he has been working out like crazy and eating healthy so he can look good for her. I'm proud that he is now taking care of himself, and hope this means he will have another good 50 years or so in him!

I’m so sorry.You can only grieve. I lost two of my best friends from childhood a few years ago and I still think of them often.

I am so sorry. I don't know how can we cope with this. Losing best friends is very difficult.

In the end all you can do is just accept what is and move on. It's not easy. But it's all we can do. Very sorry to hear it though.

Ohhhhhh Noooo! Its always painful when one looses a friend. I am so sorry to know that your friend is gone. May her soul RIP.

Im sorry for your loss.. I know it's hard but be strong..

Oh no, I am so sorry. The loss of a dear one is never easy. You just have to take your time, and work through the feelings in your own way. You will always miss her. Remembering the good times sometimes helps the heart heal a bit, but there will always be an empty spot where she once was. It will get easier to deal with, but the loss will never completely go away. Much love and hugs.

Sorry about your loss. I lost my best friend a few months ago and I know how hard it is. Nothing but time takes some of the loss and pain away. Good memories help.

So very sorry. I lost a good friend about six months ago to cancer. It is hard. You just have to hold onto the memories.

Im sorry for your loss.. I know it's hard but be strong..
