My friend of 61 years died suddenly Monday night in her sleep.  We met the first day of jr. High and remained friends for life.  So many memories and more to make.  Every year I would return to my home state and we would have our annual day together.  We missed it this year because of covid and I was planning to do the trip in May.  I'm heartbroken and devastated beyond belief.  RIP my sweet dear friend.  💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔

Re: Death of friend of 61 years

@Mi47  I am so sorry for your loss.  Having a friend for most of your life must have been wonderful and I know that you will miss her so much.  Saying that you can think about the great times that you have really does not do much for your heart, but I am very sorry.

Losses like you've had are so difficult.  Such a long friendship with a bond unbroken.

 

I'm sorry you have lost a dear friend.  How lucky you both were to have shared such a relationship.

@Mi47 -

That is so sad.

It is so special when someone shares most of your life with you!

That is really a special friendship that you two shared. I am so sorry!

Please accept my condolences for the loss of your friend.  

 

I, too, lost a friend that way.  The best I can say is that she went from a peaceful sleep to out heavenly home.  We, too, had planned to get together soon.  Her husband had left to pick up their daughter from college in NYC.  She was to go with him, but decided to stay home as the long ride would have been difficult (she had had cancer but had problems as a result of the many treatments and the long ride from MA to NYC would have bothered her legs).  We were going to get together a few weeks later.

 

Her son had come over to visit with her that Friday nite.  When her husband didn't get his morning call the next day, he had their son drop over.  He found his mother on the living room couch where he left her after they had an enjoyable evening.

 

Wait, you will get a sign from your friend on the other side, letting you know all is well.  Though heartbreaking, remember, we'll all be together again...Heart
