Remember my friend...

Hey everybody one of my best friends, Julian, lost his father today... he died unexpectedly from heart failure. He's having a real hard time understandably and to make things worse... his mother was given less than a year to live (cancer) a few months back. Please remember him in your thoughts and prayers.

I'll definitely keep him in my thoughts. I can't imagine going through a blow like that while waiting on another one around the corner

I'm not a prayer person, but your friend is in my thoughts and I'll meditate in his honour tonight. Despite my relationship with my parents being strained at best, I couldn't imagine losing them.

Thank you guys! I saw him today and he was a complete wreck... he couldn't even talk.

I just hugged him, left some food that my wife and I made for him so he wouldnt have to cook for the next couple of days and I burned a CD of songs for him. My spirit really was just crushed for him knowing what he's going through.

That was very thoughtful of you to do. I can't even imagine...I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers go to him.

I almost lost my dad last october during his heart surgery which ended up being about a month before my mom ended up passing away from brain cancer... so although I dont know exactly what he is going through I came way too close to that.

Getting the call from the surgeon that he might not make it, while I was sitting in the hospital with my dying mom was the closest I ever came to losing it totally, but thank God he came through.

On a side note, my dad had to have ANOTHER heart surgery two weeks ago to repair the repair but we just brought him home on Saturday and he is doing well.

I did not mean to hijack this, but my heart really goes out to your friend, B.

just wanted to say that i will be thinking about your friend. i hope that he will be ok. its good that he has a friend like you to help him through this rough time.
one of my good friends lost both of her parents to cancer when she was in her early 20's. i will never forget her calling in the middle of the night to tell me about it. i felt so bad for her. she ended up getting married and having kids and i just feel awful about the fact that her parents never got to see any of that happen.
anyway keep us updated on your friend and tell him to take care!

I am new here. Well.. not really new , just ventured out of lurkdom and I will definitely remember your friend and his family in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry for your friend's loss. I will be praying for him. You are a good friend to him. Just being there and helping him with his self-care is perfect.

Each of my parents has had life threatening illnesses and I dread the day I lose either one of them. My grandfather passed away a few months ago and even though he was 80 and had a full life my mom has had a very hard time with it. It's never easy but there is at least some consolation when they die in old age. I find if you don't think of them as "gone" but always with you in your heart and thoughts that is tremendously comforting.

I really feel for your friend's mom, she really needed her husband right now. I will pray for her as well.
