Five stages of grief. Lost a buddy yesterday.

Sorry Garth. Very very sorry.

If they start a college fund for the kids. Please post that up.

 

I suffered for years when I lost my brother in law and closest friend on a motorcycle ride. I second talking to someone. I didn't and probably should have. Good Luck and don't let the grief and anger eat you alive. The anger is normal, the feeling of loss and hopelessness is too. I don't know about five stages but I felt those the most and longest.

 

Sorry for your loss, and best wishes for the children left behind.........

 

Going through and reading your responses greatly helps. Thank you all for the kind words of support. It means a lot. God bless. I was able to talk a little bit with his brother and a couple other mutual friends. Everyone is still processing things and working through it all while trying to move forward. Completely senseless. Tommy was a good dude and we all wonder how or if his ptsd influenced his actions etc. No idea. It was such a beautiful day Saturday. California weather. Such a waste.

 

Sorry for your lost.
Everyone finds his/her own way.

You have lots of support here.
Type on.

 

Prayers for everyone. Sad

 

Sympathy without platitudes from here in Tennessee Garth. There's just not much to like at all about how this went down.

 

Very sad...sorry dude.

 

My condolescences buddy.

I lost a fellow rider friend under the same circumstances many years ago... but he was along at least.

Again, so soo sooo sorry for your loss.

 

Damn bud. Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and the kids.

Grief is a desert that must be walk through with bare feet.

Make sure you let the steam out. My cousin, more like a brother, committed suicide in October of last year. I held onto it for a long time and when I finally let loose, it was when everything was quiet. Just him and I at his gravesite, I cried and sobbed and wished he was here. I fucking hated him for doing what he did but will forever love him for the memories and life lessons he taught me during our years together.

Garth, I'd give you a big hug right now man. Keep your head up. Step in and help those kids however you can.

 

Hate to hear this Garth. You’ll be pissed, then sad, then pissed, repeat. Sounds like a lapse of judgement and paid a bad price. Hopefully someone positive can take care of the kids which right now, even as emotional as this is, is the main priority. Well that and his other loved ones but kids take priority. Don’t know what I can do but post up if there is anything.

 

Sorry about your loss. The only piece of advice I have is to recognize that you will have to work through this in the way that is best for you. I got pretty pissed when people were telling me how I should be feeling when my brother passed. Reach out for help if and when you need it.

 

Sorry for your loss.
