My Friend Has Just Died

[naomi24]

Not at all unexpectedly, but isn't it odd that having cried buckets over time at her long and progressive decline, I'm still crying now her suffering is over.

 

Lovely, funny, full of life, I shalL miss her and her humour.  When her doctors told her they'd given her a new vagina she said 'I don't know why they bothered.  I didn't use the old one!'

 

Got to love that girl. 

 

Thank you for listening. X

My condolences to you and your friend's family and other friends.

It's never easy to lose someone close.

My sincere condolences, Naomi.  Those memories will keep you laughing 🙂

I am so sorry to read this Naomi.

Even though a death can be expected, it's still a shock when it happpens, we are never really 'prepared', even though we hope we might be.

The finality of loss hits home, and that final release of thos emotions is a good thing.

I believe that first cry starts the grieving process, so it's really valuable.

I know you know that you will have lots of support on here if you need it.

Especially from me, your long-time co-contributor, my thoughts are with you.

A x.

Please accept my condolences to you and your lovely friends family. You write that this was not unexpected, unfortunately this doesn’t dull the pain. She sounds like a very fun loving lady. Bless.

Condolences Naomi I'm sorry for your loss. met my best friend when we started at senior school aged 11, 67 years ago, so longer than I've know my husband or anybody else come to that. We've had ups and downs but I find it difficult to imagine her not being there. There was a piece on TV this morning about how losing a very good friend can be worse than loosing a relative. She's was obviously a funny lady.

I lost my closest friend and work colleague back in February, he had been to hell and back but never complained. There isn't a day goes by when I realise I am never going to see him again, but life must go on. A very sad day for you, my deepest condolences.

deepest condolences as I have lost 5 fabulous friends over the last 7 years and have missed them so much - they cared about me so much.

I am so sorry that you have lost your funny friend, Naomi. Telling you to remember the good times is useless. You need to cry as much as you like, as often as you like. Eventually, you will smile at the remembrance of her. At the moment it's just profound sorrow.
