I'm sorry, I missed this thread earlier. Sending hugs and prayers to you and yours and your friends family.
I lost my "best" friend" a few years ago. I have many happy memories of times shared, but I still miss her.
Take care of yourslef right now also, take time to grieve and to remember.

Thanks everybody,
The funeral is next week - I will pay my respects and move on with my life.
Sorry if this thread brought back difficult memories for others...
Please remember that smoking cannot undo what is done or bring happiness in such situations

Mr Ed....my sympathies to you. Traagedy in all forms is hard, and even harder when trying to quit the nicodemon.
I am dealing with the shooter at Northern Illinois University...a very dear friend of mine was one of his advisor's a the University of Illinois.
May we all send loving thoughts to those we know are suffering at this time....and may those loving thoughts come full circle back to you.

Mr Ed, it is so hard to lose someone close to us, especially a smoker who we have tried to help. I went through it myself recently and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Oh, Mr Ed
I just realized I hadn't replied to this thread. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Isn't it nice that you will be able to be an example to any other friends and family who will be attending services for him.

I have been helping with the arrangements - doing practical things helps take the mind away from the emotion.
Reading your posts is a great big help too - thank you so much :)
