Have you ever lost people who are really close to you? i just remember that the year 2002 was the roughest year i had in my life. My boyfriend at that time, my male best friend and my close friend at work all died at the same year.
My ex-boyfriend, after getting drunk one night during 2002, didn't wake up the next morning. my friend called me up to tell the news and rush to his place, only to see him in coffin.
My guy best friend, who just got his license as a pilot and was able to get his first job for a domestic flight, was killed over a traffic incident while going on his first day to work.
My co-worker, who was while we were eating lunch, just fell on the floor and just didn't wake up. that was the hardest one for me. i saw her fell right in front of my eyes. and i couldn't do anything. I know CPR but i was too shock to even think of what to do. My friends and i rushed her to the nearest hospital but it was just too late. She had a heart attack but she was only 24 at that time...
Looking back on all those people i lost, i couldn't say i learned anything. I sometimes think of them, and imagine what could have been if they are still here... I know the world could have been much better if they were here...
I dedicate this discussion to my long lost love Eric, my great pal John, and my ever God fearing friend Ellen...

first of all, i would like to say sorry for your losses. losing someone is not that easy. even if it were only your friends i know it could hurt a lot.
i have never lost any of my friends yet but i have lost my uncle and grandparents last year.

It's very hard to loose someone close to you. And you had three people die in one year. I bet that was very hard for you. And at times it probably still is. I'm sorry that this had to happen to you, and i'm sure if you could change it all then you would.
The only person that i had lost was my aunt. (my mother's sister). I was about 14 years old, and i went to her house on a sunday to visit her and her kids. We spent all day together, and everythng seemed fine. And on tuesday morning she pasted out and she never woke up. I wasn't there to see it, but her children were. The youngest at the time was five years old. And it has been ever hard on everyone... it's been about ten years since that still happened, but we just can't get it out of our heads. She was very healthy, and we think that the house keeper poisoned her.

Yes I have lost dear ones to and I am so sorry to hear that you have lost all these People, specially as they where all so young. I know it is terrible and I understand you saying it would be so much better if they where still around, but you have to look in the Future not the past they would not want that. They will always be with you in your Memory.

I have lost so many people close to me in the last few years, I feel positively drained, it seems I have lost all the closest people to me, I have cried so much it just seems I pick myself up and then someone else passes away....it has been a very traumatic few years for me....

I lost my friends, my grandparts, even some babies of the family...I lost my father when I was 4 very young and now I am 27 and I go crazy everyday with how I need him here to see my kids, needed him when i got married most of all needed him when life gets hard and need to talk. It's hard to get close to people for me cuz they seem to always die and leave.

2006 was`the hardest for me I lost my father in law who was a wonderful man and grandfather. I also lost my sister in law who was a great person. I to did not learn anything from that experience actually it made me kind of bitter because there are so many evil people in the world and yet they were the ones taken away. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair.

My parents passed away a decade ago. At that moment they were my closest family. They didn't have much money but they loved me very much and always tried to give me the best they could get. I miss them very much. If they were still alive, they would 70 and 80 years old. I would try my best to give the best life if possible. I love my parents.

painful.. it really is painful to lose someone close to us. sometimes i just wish that i could be there for all my loved ones just to save them from being hurt; to save myself from losing them. but i do believe that when it's one's time to die, then there's nothing i or anyone can do to keep him from that path. it's all God' Will.
i lost my father 3 months ago. december 2 was the worst day of my life. he and my mother were ambushed while they were driving their way home from downtown. only my mother survived. thinking about that day still hurts me more than anything. i almost lost them both.
and yes, i also believe that the world could have been much better if my father were here..

I know it's been a long time since they left and the scar of them leaving so early in the world affected you in some ways. They are still young to die actually. They haven't even started their own life. My heart goes out to you and the family they left behind.
I haven't lost anyone for that matter and i am still lucky not to be in that burden.
