On July 27th I was informed that a friend was killed in a motor vehicle accident less than a mile from my home. She was killed instantly. Her 5 year old daughter survived. Her unborn child did not. Words can not express the pain I feel right now. She was a beautiful person, a great mother, and one who lived life to the fullest. The last 3 years have not been good for me. I have seen 4 friends and a family member pass on way to young due to unnatural causes. The pain is more than I can bear at the moment.
 
Ken, I am sure this is a difficult time. I do not have the words to ease the pain you are feeling. Trust that these difficult times will pass, but the fond memories of friends and family will endure.

Thanks guys. I am not a religious person but if those of you who are could say a prayer for her and her family I would appreciate it. They need them right about now.
 
Not much I can say except I feel for you man. Such things are never easy and that's a lot to deal with in a short time.

Loss of a friend or other loved one is always a good time to become a religious person, never know when you maybe next.

As for your loss I hope you realize that they are always in your memories and when your friends daughter grows up remind her of the kind of person your friend was. And I am truly sorry for your loss.
 
Ken, please except my sympathies. I know how you feel as i lost my father and brother within a year and half of one another. Hang in there stay strong and may God bless. Take care

Sorry to hear about the death of your friend, Ken. Condolences to the family concerned.

I, too, have lost friends to death and accidents. At one stage in my life over a period of 9 years, I lost about seven of them. It was a life-altering experience.

I very much understand your feelings.
 
Ken,
Man, I don't know you that well. We've only met a couple of times @ the NYC knife shows. But you've shown me a lot of heart here on line. I was once a volunteer firefighter & I know the feeling of tugging the Nomex hood down when you'd rather not. It takes a person of exceptional character to do that every day for a living. (I was a sisssy volunteer) People who risk something daily have a serious bond to those they love. Losing a "family" member doesn't always mean that you've lost someone with whom you share blood. The heart is bigger than all of us.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Best regards & Prayers for all the rest,
Mike
 
sorry to hear the news.. Prayers on way
I personally love the saying "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it".. stay strong
 
Veteran LEO here. I've long since given up trying to work out why worthwhile people die young, and worthless ones linger; why the honest and happy are taken from us, yet the vulgar and feckless thrive.

Words from strangers like me won't help. I don't know if any words can.

These words are from a man who served as a middle-aged Red Cross orderly on the Western Front during the Great War. I think he understood the way you must be feeling now.

"They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Laurence Binyon
For The Fallen (1914)
 
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all. – Tennyson

Best wishes from Down Under.
