re: My best friend just passed away

Losing a good friend is really hard. After a few years, for me at least, you start to look back and value the seemingly short time you had as friends, while also recognizing nothing here on earth is permanent. Early on, though, it can feel depressing to the point you withdraw from other friends or making new ones. Never forget you were as much a trusted friend to him as he was to you, and it's people like that which make life good and worthwhile.
