i found out this morning that my shoolmate died as he was getting his tux for prom.. i was really shocked cuz he wasn't a bad guy at all.. he was really cool with everybody.. he wasn't associated with any gangs....
it's the first time that someone i knew died.. i never experienced this kind of loss before.. i don't know how to feel... he wasn't really a close friend.. but i feel bad that he's gone..
it just makes me realize how unpredictable life is... how easy life can slip away..
has anyone experienced the loss of a loved one or friend.... or just someone you knew?? how do you cope with it...?

aww, right before prom too. yeah i been there, it hurts alot now knowing that you'll forever never see that person again. Well this person at my junior high just decided to let life go away. I didn't know him that much but i knew him enough. When this happened the school had people that you can go to if you ever needed someone to talk to, you where allowed to leave class as you wish. =\ that was a sad day, it was ironic too when left campus to do it the power went out. It was a really sad day and the rest of the school which was only about 2 week. Its hard to deal with the pain yourself, have someone you can talk to. Express your emotions, its the way i coped with it.

Yes, I know exactly how that feels. A painful feeling indeed, when you know u will never see ur classmate again.

When I had to leave all of my classmates in Singapore and come to USA, my heart was torn apart. Knowing I will never see those dear people again hurts so much.

*sniffle* im kinda goin through it rite now. jus recently i found out that mai aunty has cancer n onli has one more month to live n tha prob ish dat i dun noe how to cope with it cuz i neva experienced some1 i knew dying

yeah i know how that feels..my best friend's boyyfriend died one night on the freeway in a car crash..it was actually 2 years ago yesterday yesterday was a horrible day...

RIP ALAN GLAS
THE WILDEST ANGEL UP THERE


im sorrie for the loss..i hope everything will be okay

What happened...That's really sad. He was about to get ready for prom time and he just goes and dies. Schoolmates, theyre the ones you take advantage of, the ones that you hate and that you like. And when theyre finally gone, you realize how different the school is without him.
Moment of silence.

aww im so sorry about that... its never happened to me personally (as in someone in my grade) but we have had people that have died in our school.. but i didnt know them

a kid died in 2 grade. asthmaa attack. his father was a doctor. nothing they could do.

yhea that some sad stufff ... it`s hapoended to be bofore too ... my friend aaron `nd i wouldn`t stop cryin` ... ut just so sad .... im` feelin` you

it's just weird.. i mean.. he wasn't a bad guy.. so like.. it's weird that someone would come up to him and shoot him, point-blank in cold blood.. that's what it said in the news....
personally, i kind of thought that he was annoying in class.. but.. he was my classmate so like.. it's just weird to not see him anymore..
today, when i came to school, everyone was still mourning his death.... the whole atmosphere itself made me want to cry again.. but like... i thought to myself.. i shouldn't cry....
what makes me mad about this whole situation is that.. no one deserves to die like that..!! and no mother has to experience losing a son and bury him..! it should be the other way around..!! and also.. we were all expecting him to be prom king so like... it's sad.. irritating.. annoying.....

Its a hard thing to deal with....i kno...earlier this school year a classmate of mine was killed in an archery accident...i was hit in the head with an arrow..His name was Chris McClarry....everyone in the school knew him and he got along with everyone....i dont think there wasnt a person that didnt kno his name...over 800 people showed up at his Wake and Funeral....I used to play catch with him around his house with a football...and i rode the bus with him.....When someone passes away at school you pay your respects its only right....lossing ne one you knew is hard....but it is part of life...but everyone deals with it in there own way....

That sucks before prom. BUt yeah the feeling one gets when a person dies is weird because you don't know how to feel, if sad, happy, nervous or something but it's always shocking.

woah..that sux

Moved to relationships

a close friend of the family had breast cancer a couple of years ago. it came back. she didn't tell anyone. not even her kids, and now she's gone. she died a couple months ago. she was such a great lady. she was so fun and exciting, she was beautiful and outragous, she was the definition of woman. but before that, my uncle died. not my real uncle, but he was one of the closest. he got murdered. him and alice (^^) went to the prom together and knew each other through childhood until now. they're gone. anger still floods through me and tears eat away at me. i can't let go. i want to spit in gods' face for doin this to me and my family. i want to wring that guy's neck who killed a huge part of the community and someone everyone loved. he was the best artist, poet, husband, and dad i ever knew. his f*cking daughter was six. what the hell was on that guys mind when he shot my uncle straight in the stomach. nothing. he was high. my uncle did nothing. he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. but he would have taken that bullet for anyone else there in that club house. he was part of wheels of soul. my aunt has to go through terrible pain when the court case comes up. i remember watching her cry. i remember waking up to her screams when i spent the nights over her house. how could any human do this to someone on purpose. i hope he f*cking rots in hell as the devil's personal slave. i hope the devil gives me a special invitation to go down there and kick the shit out of him. but uncle jerome would never think that way. he'd say, the damage is already done. there's nothing you or anyone else can do anymore. he never wanted violence. he wanted piece, love, and a drug-free environment for everyone everywhere. god, this is still so hard.


pee ess:: how did this kid die?

Yeah in january my friend died. She was only 19 and there was nothing anyone could do because she had a blood disease called TTP. It is VERY VERY rare and alot of people have survived but she didn't. My sister and her were REALLY REALLY close friends and our families have always been close, but then we kinda fell apart but were coming back together when we learned she wa sin the hospital .I remember everything clearly. One wednesday in January we were at church and she hadn't been in a while on wednesday because she was in school at Spelman university, but she made it this week and she was going to start helping out with preschool cuz she loved kids. She was showing us some bruises on her legs and stomach and arms and she didn't know how they got on theit and we told her go to the doctor and she told us she was going on the next day. Well they didn't know what was wrong with her but the pain kept going and on Sunday she went back to the hospital then on Tuesday night she was rushed in because it was so painful she couldn't move then on Saturday they told us she was on a respirator because their was blood in her lungs and she was trying so hard to breathe. That sunday me and two of my sisters went to visit her. it was so hard not to cry because i have never seen anyone in so much pain and we stayed until late. We came back on Monday. Then the next week on Sunday we came back there was the ENTIRE college department at the hospital waiting to see her. It was so overwelming the support she had, cuz she was just herself, so sarcastic,loving, and funny, and always listening to others problems. We were going to see her again on Saturday but she died on Friday night @ 10. My mom told me the next morning. My other sisters had found out in the nighttime because the college depo pator called our house and told my mom and she screamed my sister ubani(her close friend) and my other sister ran out screaming for someone to say what happened cuz my dad was downstairs just starting at the screen not saying anythin. Then my mom told them and ubani started screaming and so did ori(other sis) i don't know how i didn't wake up. then they called my other sister nenna and leslie(friend who passed away's sister)'s 2 friends and they came to out house then ori called boyin(one of leslie's friends) and peju(friend who passed away one of her firends. at church it was always ubani,peju,shayla, and chichi-one who died) first she told boyin then peju and you could her peju screaming.gosh...... i didn't mean to write all that but it just came. That was just the night she died I hadn't even found out yet then we had to tell her friends that ngiht calling them then everyone at church and so on...it was a difficult week.
