losing a friend is tough enough, losing one in such a way must be so painful. May you find strength and peace quickly.

I'm so sorry about everything you experienced yesterday.

Thanks for the hugs...

So sorry you had to go through that and so sorry that your friend did not make it.

During emergencies like this I am completely focused and extremely calm. Been that way forever.

Living the day to day stuff has driven me completely insane, but if you've been hurt or are being threatened, I'm your guy.

I was fine until a couple hours after we got home when the shock or whatever it is wore off and then I got the shakes and started crying.

I am grateful for one thing:

That he was surrounded by his and her families and, so, surrounded by love.

And no one can ask for more than that.

Condolences on the loss of your friend. They were lucky to have you there.

i am so sorry

That's really awful.

My best to you and the families of your friends.

You know i got your back, and so sorry about this on your life.

K and regrettable R.

Hug:

He was 47 fucking years old.

The reaper needs to lighten up.

Hold the dear ones close for sure...

i'm so sorry. (((hugs)))

We can all only hope to have a person like you in our lives. So, so very sorry....

Any human should do for any of us.

What an awful day. So sorry your friend lost Vaska, who you also loved, and your girlfriend's best friend's husband. Bless you for trying to save him though, so sad. (((HUGS)))

So sorry.

From my understanding she is medicated today....

My deepest condolences. Peace and Love, my friend. Sometimes it is hard to put into words how I feel, but it is easy to feel how words (I read) affect me. I have been doing a lot of this too BRO When your feeling better, I'll buy the first round

Thank you so much for the support.

Talk to you tomorrow

I'll definitely hold my loved ones closer tonight than I usually do. I am sorry you had to suffer through that - as a fellow PTSD sufferer, I know how painful and scary it can be when we face potential triggers and very high stress situations. I hope you're alright. I wish I had some profound words of wisdom that might help make it better... some times though, all you can really do is keep on keeping on. Be safe - and know that your efforts are admired and respected. I can't do what you do, I haven't either the stomach or the courage for it. Bless you for trying to help, a great many people would not have had that courage.

I'm ok- just weepy and I keep wondering what I could have done differently - but the answer is absolutely nothing.

I'll sleep tonight and that will help.

Peace

So sorry. That is F/Uped in the most horrible of ways.

I'm so sorry for you and everyone dealing with these losses.

Really -

My grief for the others remains unabated.

and I hope we all make it through tonight because life is way too often way, way, way too short.

Hold fast those you love.

Already looking forward to it in fact....He likes to spoon and so do I.

Snuggle well.

The reaper needs to lighten up.

Sounds like a nightmare for you, but you did all you could. Hold your loved ones close, too, including your pets.

Chester the pest is right here at my elbow.

Jucy Lucy is planted near the heater as usual.

Thanks, '

You've been through quite a crisis, so be good to yourself, too.

Hyper vigilant for a couple of nights,

I'll be OK.

Thanks for reading me tonight.

Your DU family is here for you, too, a good thing to know...

And, yes, you are my family.

C

I really have no words for your bravery in the face of such a loss...

Please take care of yourself......

c

I cannot imagine witnessing that. I hope the family and your friend are okay.
And I hope you're okay.

Savannah's friends, not for a long time.

I'd advise you to take care of yourself, but I think you've gotten to be very good at that through all the ups and downs and you already know what to do. When you go through the triggers and the struggles you learn some management skills to survive.

That really sucks, though, for you, his family, and for all involved. I feel for you and the hurt you're going through now. You're not alone, brother. Hang in there...

Knowing you're around helps immensely,

c

We'll go back over in a day or two when their families go back to their routine -

There are several staying there for support right now.

At first it's a flurry of shock and responsibilities. But once that wears off, the real pain starts.

That's when we need our real friends, over the long haul.

They're lucky to have you guys.

He was supposed to come this week for another visit.....

Alas, it was not to be.

at least you knew what to do. Me? Not so sure.......

You might have to try and save MY life one day.

I'd do the same for you.

I saved a nun once with CPR. I know it's pretty stressful on you because of your reaction after the fact. You're a true hero. You did your best and no one can ask more of you.

No hero here at all. Trust me. Everyone else was standing around like, I dunno - I think the difference was that I got trained. Just trained.

I hope that nun thanks God that you were there every day.

She was choking on a piece of bread and I did the Heimlich maneuver. The first words out of her mouth once she could breath again were to thank me.

Funny thing is I had only seen how to do it with posters in the restaurant kitchen. I was a waitress.
