Phone rang at 4:00 this morning. Never a good sign. Wife's best friend had taken a bad fall while dancing at a local club. DOA at the hospital. Apparently traumatic brain injury. She was only 45yo. Wife is a mess now. That is all I can say now. I liked her a lot too. Too young, dammit.
So sad. You and your wife are in my thoughts.
Wow, that is tragic. Very sorry for your loss 
.
I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and your family.
In reply to cwh:
I am so sorry to hear that. Please give J my condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
That is too young and terrible news. Give your wife a long hug.
Wow, sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear that, Chuck. Yeah, give Jane a hug.
Oh no. So sorry to read this. We will be thinking of you guys.
Damn. Sorry to hear.
That's sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Wow, that sucks.
I am sorry to hear the news about your friend.
Whenever our phone rings in the middle of the night I wake up thinking "uh-oh...."
Wow, that sounds like the kind of thing you only see in movies. My sincere condolences to you two and your friend's family.
Don't mean to be an ass, but when I go...I want to go out dancing, enjoying life. Peace to you, your wife and family
So sorry brother.
Man, we are fragile creatures, aren't we?
Very sorry to hear that.
I feel for your wife, but she shouldn't feel for her friend. Her friend went out suddenly doing something that she loves, not many of us are so lucky. Life is short, going out living it to the fullest doing what you're passionate about is going out on top.
So sorry for your loss!
In reply to captdownshift: Yeah, she went out doing what she loved to do, with her son there. I hope I am so lucky. Her son is a writer and posted a beautiful eulogy on line that made me bawl like a baby. She will be missed by a lot of people. Gonna go hug my honey now.
Such an unusual way to lose one's life at such a YOUNG age. Heartfelt condolences to you all. This puts me in a more appreciative frame of mind. I have some thinking to do.....
Got a call from her son this morning. Apparently she died from a brain aneurism. Doctors told him she was probably dead before she hit the floor. I guess that's not a bad way to go. No suffering, no long agony for the family.
There are no words to help with this. Just send all the love you can. sorry
Wow, that's horrifying. So sorry for your loss!
Sorry for your loss. That's way too young to go.
Thought of these kind of circumstances too much lately. 40-something stroke victims in the same care home as my 87 y/o mother, they will likely never leave or have the same quality of life again.
If anything, it should remind us to enjoy life more w/ the people that matter and we love. Get out of that routine or rut, live a little more.
