    • i just found out that a friend of mine died on Monday night. he was only 26 years old, and he and his wife just found out that they are pregnant. they have been trying for years, and now he will never get to experience being a father.

    this is the forth funeral that i have been to in the past 6 months, two young people, and two older people. I'm sick of going to them, i just want to make it one year without going to one.

    I feel for you, iam. I've lost four family members in the last nine months, including two in the last two weeks and it's just not a whole lot of fun. :(

    Sorry for you losses.

    I just went to one the other day, but it was for an 85 year old man who had lived a full life. He survived a bullet to the chest in WWII (the bullet was literally stopped by the bible in his chest pocket). The minister commented how his kids, grandkids and great-grandkids would not be here if it were not for the bible the man carried everywhere.

    I will say funerals for young people are terrible. I went to one for an 18 month old last year. I never want to go to one of those again.

    As others have said, be there for the family and friends. Sorry for the loss.

    Iam... here's some pretty good advice... for reasons understandable, many of the fellas friends... especially close friends.. will completely stay away from the remaining spouse.. they (and you) will be dealing with the loss in your own ways... but this gal is in for a rough road... she may lack a father figure for that child for years... depending on your closeness to the friend that passed.. you may consider filling that role somewhat... it would be a big commitment

    I know it could be very tough with your own new Dadship.... but this gal will be struggling... she and that child could use a male figure in their lives...
