In 2005 i lost 4 people, 3 friends and 1 relative, 4 friends really, as my family are so close.
The first was a friend of my dads and the family, he used to come stay with us on work shifts on from scotland, when they both worked together over there. He got struck with cancer, had it for a few years, fought it, but in the end the struggle was too heavy and he died. Was a train wreck of a time, but there wasnt enough time to catch up with life when the next event happened.
A friend of mine and my sisters, thomas devlin, only a teenager, was stabbed to death. He and another friend of mine were walkin home from the shop after gettin some munch just, and two guys out of nowhere began following them and chasing them, they caught thomas and stabbed him in the back, i think they punctured his lung; they tried saving him but by the time he was at hostpital he was already gone. Now everybody knows you need time to grieve from one death, but then another one happens so suddenly, what do you do.
Another friend of mine, who lived down the road, was on a cruise with his wife when he had a heart attack and passed away instantly, such freak sudden deaths. He was an amazing guy, of course.. all these people were to me.
Finally my closest uncle had a heart attack, suddenly, my cousin tried to save him with CPR but it was too late, he was gone. And with all this my 2004 wasnt the best either, i lost my other uncle to leukemia, so really ive seen more death in the last year and a bit than i ever want to see again. The more people die, the easier it gets to handle it? wrong. so wrong, itll only make it worse if you try to grip it up inside in my opinion, i tried.. and i had a terrible breakdown, which in all honesty i've only really seen the recovery from this year. thank god.
But yeah, deaths a heavy thing.. grieving isn't an option though. just keep that in mind.
