One of my good friends from childhood was in a terrible car wreck a little over a week ago and sustained a traumatic brain injury. Since then it has been "wait and see" and he has been in ICU on a ventilator and everyone has been praying and hoping he would recover. Well the doctor informed his dad tonight that after running tests they do not think he will be able to recover from this and live a meaningful life. However, his dad told them to leave him on life support for another week or so to see if anything changes. So as of right now all of the friends and family are just hoping for a miracle. It's just really hard to believe this is happening because he is so young (23) and had his whole life ahead of him. Not too long ago I hung out with him and we laughed and had a good time and now he is in ICU being kept alive by machines. This has really made me realize how fragile and precious life is. You never really know if today will be the last time you will see a friend or loved one. This is just tearing me up. IP: Logged |

When I was around that age I had a friend I used to get into intense arguments with all the time. We were both stubborn and passionate and a good deal of energy was exchanged between us. He died when he fell train hopping on the subway. He was going on full speed and then just stopped. There is pain with every loss, but when the person is young you have to cope with shock too. I also became afraid, that wouldn't truly value my time and make good use of my time. I developed all kinds of fears. The best thing to do is let yourself be and feel emotional. Don't bother trying to think it through or find a reason. Not now. Just let yourself feel what you feel and need what you need. Reaching out to and comforting others, like his parents will help A LOT. I'm sorry aquaguy. IP: Logged |

Keep our hopes up! Dont think like hes gone! Because he isnt.I know someone who woke up from a coma. I am not going to get into it for privacy reasons it was a very similar situation... It happens. Seemingly spontaneously. Keep your hopes up for him and send positive vibes. IP: Logged |

He passed away today with his family and friends by his bedside. I am really sad for his dad because he is taking this really hard. Me? I'm numb. I still can't believe this has happened. IP: Logged |

Sorry for your loss, man. The hard part about life is seeing and experiencing things happen with no regard to sense, justice, fairness, or logic. Innocent people die, good people get hurt, hard workers struggle, etc.All you can do is keep going. The world keeps turning. It can be a mean old world. IP: Logged |

His funeral was this past Friday. It was therapeutic because a lot of us got up and told funny stories about him. The mood at that funeral was surprisingly upbeat, which is unusual for a funeral. My other friend, who is musically gifted, also went to the trouble of setting up a xylophone and played a tune called "my dear friend". That was the saddest part of the funeral because he explained the backstory of the song. The guy who wrote the song wrote it after getting the phone call that his friend was killed in a car accident so it was fitting for the occasion. It was a sad/sweet tune. Afterwards, Me and my friends went out to eat and then stayed up all night reminiscing about the good old days. On the same day one of my other friends and his wife had their first baby (Friday the 13th baby  ) and that helped brightened the mood of the day too. IP: Logged |
