Hi there all... i have always respected life but im passing such extreme feelings that my ussual way of facing problems changed radically.

7 years ago my best friend and university buddy died on a car accident... i was heartbreaked for such young life lost in only a couple seconds... since then i knew that i should concentrate more on living usefull life and providing that others around me are... happy... but now...

my brothers wife who i have been friend since ever, he was like my little brother, was fighting against cancer for about 3 years and died last week at 23 years old, i was there with him all the time and the last person who talked to him since my wife couldnt be there because we found out 2 weeks ago she is pregnant.... so i have to be strong for all around me but i cant keep them happy... yesterday i saw and heard the little heart of my son and the only thing i can think of my life experience is... life is fragile so dont waste any of it...

sometimes we are stressed with so many insignificant and small things and forget the miracle of life and good health... life has given me a big lesson and i will not ever forget it.

just wanted to share this and hope someone who sees this thinks a bit on the things that sometimes arent appreciated because they dont experience such extreme situations.

cheers all.

I'm really sorry to hear that
I can only say I understand You (at least a bit) after my last summer oncologic adventure...
be strong Nav!

I'm sorry to hear of this loss and I wish you all my sympathy. Also I hope the baby that is coming is born in good health.

Sad? It's not a right word to express what I feel... It just makes us think... Life is fragile, very fragile.
I dunno why but it's one of the thnigs I am thinking about pretty often these days.

Be strong and appreciate the lives of your dear ones and your own. I am sure you do...

Jeah... that´s really sad... I know, what you are feeling, but it´s okay, I don´t want to write about it......

Be strong... personally the believe in God helped me ALWAYS in such times... so I hope you can have believe and strenght through your believes too (regardless what you believe in......)...

I'm truly sorry to hear that. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Í read this and now I have a lump in my throat. It certainly brings back memories as I know how you feel.

It will be a long healing process for everyone involved but together, lending each other strength, you will get through it!

Think of them and talk about them often. Don't let them slip or block them out of your thoughts as they were and still are an important part of your life.

Honour them in living your life in the best way that you can and make them proud! That will help you get peace of mind and get on.

If you ever have the need to talk to someone besides your direct family and friends, just let me know and I'll be happy to listen to you


Tim.

In recent weeks I have seen and heard from friends of several young people passing on from cancer and other reason. 3 of whom I knew personally. As Skrit said keep them in your heart always and they are never far from you.

Many blessing upon you and your wife for the up coming addition to your family as well.

There are many here in this group who are more than willing to listen if you need to unload and never feel embarrassed to do so.

Mike

thanks all.

i know its a long healing process but im sure the wound scar will stay in the family forever.

in fact life is quite simple if we have our priorities organized on our minds... i for one im quite more resistant to those small things that sometimes makes you stress.
what worries me most is for some reason not having time to do all i have planned in my mind. all i can do is try.

life is fragile but our dedication to try to give a better life to all around us is stronger as long has i go...
im much more concentrated now and my mind is clearer than ever.

for some reason we men are more atracted to negativity (just look at news on tv) i will try to ignore that and invest on positive side of things... the best thing i can do to my family is to give them peace and confort.

again thanks guys, strange how life works isnt it?
