When someone dies, we often think first of spouses and children. But lifelong friends grieve too.
Old friends
hold pieces of our history. They remember the stories no one else knows, the
camping disasters, the first jobs, the impossible bosses, the practical jokes,
and the dreams that never quite happened.
When one
friend dies, a chapter of your own life quietly closes.
It's okay to
feel that loss.
And yes,
it's okay if you cry...just remember to blame it on chopping onions if someone
asks.
Reach out to
a mutual friend and simply ask,
"How
are you doing after hearing the news?"
Then listen.
Sometimes people don't need advice. They just need someone who remembers the
same person they do.
