I spent 20mins on Facetime last night saying goodbye to my childhood best mate. We went to primary school and secondary school together, lived in the same street, he was best man at my wedding. We didn't stay in touch as much as we should of done after I moved to Scotland but always felt close and always thought of him as my best mate. He is a cancer nurse working in a hospice. He is currently receiving end of life care in that same hospice after cancer that he survived 10 years ago came back to finish him off.
He is 41 years old and got married less than 1 year ago.
How do you reconcile that? Life is just shit sometimes.
Thats just ****ing shit. Really sorry to hear that.
Lost a friend's wife to leukaemia a few years ago, the first friend in our age group we had lost. Another mate had a massive heart attack last week, currently doing 'not great'.
It's awful, best wishes to you, but its also part of life.
scant consolation I'm sure, but at least you had the chance to say goodbye.
Was talking to a friend yesterday who lost his best man a few days before after he went for a run, came home, showered /changed and then just collapsed.
There is one saving grace. When he dodged the bullet last time he got a massive life insurance payout. At the time he was engaged to a pretty awful woman. When he got the payout he promptly ditched her and went on a 5 year trip around the world living doing the most amazing things, meeting incredible people and making sure he enjoyed every single penny of that money. I know a few of his family thought he should have spent it on a house or something sensible. I think he knew the importance of living a dream whilst he could.
The message is not to take life for granted. Sorry to hear your story Frank.
Sorry for your loss.
In the midst of life we are in death.

Good.
I only hope his passing is painless.
Sincere commiserations @Franksinatra
This is super sad. Im sending a man hug.
I'm really sorry to hear that Frank.

Not many, I bet. Without dependents, that's a lovely outcome. No rightminded person would think otherwise.
My stepfather was married to my mother for 14 days.
Frank, sorry to hear that and yes, that is truly shit. Â Take care.
A shit business indeed. Sorry.
