Yeah thats tough.
I pray for you, your friend and his loss. May God alleviate help heal you of your grief. Your presence for your friends and his family will be a blessing, no matter what role you give them. A shoulder, a conversation, any support. Be there for them, but also look out for yourself. Grief can sneak up on people in the worst way.
If you need an example read on/ One may feel apathetic and BOOM it hits hard. I had a close friend pass from suicide in recent years, I rushed 2 hours home to help clean up his office, clean, paint walls. When we moved the couch in his office we found more blood... when we were taking things out to burn, my friend, police chief for several years, broke down. Just being present helps everyone. Sorry for rambling on, but Godspeed. Let us know if you need to vent.
Thanks! My friend and his wife need the prayers.
That's rough.
I am dealing with tomorrow being the life celebration for a dear family friend, who almost made it to 101, so it's not as tragic.
But what is tragic is that my sister passed away just a few weeks ago, leaving me as the only survivor in our nuclear family. Her victim mentality made her physically sick. It finally caught up with her. At least she died in her sleep.

I have a 97 year old ex-neighbor old lady friend, she's still kicking but severely arthritic. Yes, to reach 100+ requires a true celebration of life! Amazing what these folks have experienced.
I too am the last of my nuclear family. They are all gone -- and I had no children. Sorry for your loss. No one wants to be the last.
Same here. I bought into the propaganda to have less children to "save the planet". I am wiser now.
My only heir is an unrepentant jew who is ticking off the clock until he gets everything of mine. He will trash most of my family's photos and history, and my valuables, just to clear my house for the realtors.
I want to find someone deserving who I can trust not to hasten my death.
Can we be friends? Maybe we can start an organization to recruit and vet worthy heirs.
Vetting heirs? Lol! I can envision a long line of girls applying for those jobs!
No one is left on my father's side. I'll probably split my estate up between cousins on my mom's side - or their kids. They seem to have the work ethic and values I have, to the best of my knowledge. That's the best I have thought of so far.
They're gonna have some dark times ahead but don't be a stranger to em. I know you won't. You've always struck me as a decent sort. Even when we bicker.
Thanks! He's a few hours from my location. I usually grab another friend (we all worked together years ago) and make a day trip to see him a few times a year. He has a lot of family in that area so that will help.
yup, you've got all the indicators of a good man.
Parents shouldn't have to bury their children. My condolences.
Sorry man, life is not fair. My prayers to you and his family.
My condolences as well.
Shitty.
