Lost my Friend

Please pray for me! I have lost my best friend!

Hey girl,

My sincere condolences! I have been at the place you are right now and it is a horrible place to be!

I would attend the funeral.  You don't want to have regrets in the future and I know it will be hard but I think you need to do it.  You don't want to be sorry you didn't go and say your goodbyes.

I'm really sorry girl.  It would not be wrong of you to go, but you may regret going.  You'll know what to do... there isn't a right or wrong in this situation.

I am soo sorry for your loss!  I can't even imagine what you are going through!

i'm sorry to hear this :(
i would not attend if you feel as though you can't handle it. the family/friends should understand. you can pay your respects in a different way. i myself can not handle funerals and break down crying. they are too much for me and your friend would understand this seeing as how she knew you so well.

I am so sorry to hear this.  I had a friend pass away suddenly 3 years ago and it is very tough to deal with.  And to make it the 4th loss you've had to deal is even tougher.  I suggest going to her funeral---you will regret it later if you don't.  I went to my friend's funeral but didn't really walk up to the casket---I regret that now.  You don't want to live with regrets---I would go and if you can't stay because it's too tough then leave...but at least you tried.

My heart truly does go out to you, and your friend's family as well. I just posted my loss of a close friend at the beginning of this month, so I know all too well what you are going through. I have a mental thing about caskets and funerals as a whole, so I always have to say a few extra prayers before I attend one, and I don't view the body; even at my close friend's funeral. I sat in the back, so I could remember her as she was.

My advice is to pray about it long and hard, and then make the decision that you feel is right. I don't you to regret not attending later in life. Maybe attend and just don't go up near the front. Again, my prayers are with you love and Talisa's family. Look to the Lord, he will give you the strength you need at this time!

i am so very very sorry for your loss. i can't imagine what it must be like for you. just remember, she'll still be watching out for you.

i would attend the funeral if it were me, even though it would be very difficult, i would want to pay respects to her family. no one is going to think anything if you do break down. it will be expected that you would be upset and in mourning if you lost a dear friend. a funeral can be like a big group of  people who are there to support one another during a very tough time.

again, i'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm afraid you'll regret not going. Don't let your fear hold you back. Please try to go.

God Bless

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know it's going to be very hard, but I think you should go to say your goodbyes.  If you don't go then you might regret it later on.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

*hugs*

I'm so sorry for your loss.  

It wouldn't be wrong if you decide not to attend her funeral.  If you decide that you can't handle it, don't feel guilty about it.  It's a decision you and only you can make.  

I'd suggest that you go, though.
This is the time to get some closure and say goodbye to your great friend.  And, like the other ladies said, you may have regrets later.

Sorry to hear of your lost but if she was there for you no matter what, than you just have the one last opportunity to return the favor, dont miss out.

I am sending all my love to you at this time in your life....Sending so much love your caught in the rapture...ill be praying for you and I know my God will answer my prayers for you because he is an awesome God....and he needed your friend by his side!

Love Nikia

I'm so sorry of your loss :( It's sad to lose a loved one but it will get easier over time.  I think you should go to the funeral because you don't want to regret not going. Going to a funeral is hard because anyone can lose control of their emotions. You and her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  :(
My thoughts and prayers are with you....

Im sorry  this has happened! I cant even imagine what you're going through with this being the 4th! I will keep you and her family in my prayers. Keep your head up!

Dont feel bad, I found out one of my best friends, one of my childhood friends I have know since I was 5 years old passed away on march 11, 2009.  She had been suffering and ill with lupus and she had bronchitis and a bacteria infection in her blood.  Her brother called me and told me at work and I lost it.  I had to leave work, i was a mess.  I had talked to her on monday and she was telling me that she was sick and she had asked me if I was going to be mad if she didnt come to my wedding.  I told her no, if she was sick, she was sick.  This was her telling me good bye and dont be mad at her and I didnt realize it.  I was so devastated.  I am still mourning her.  I will mourn for a long time.  Her brother told me the funeral was going to be the monday after my wedding.  Then he said he didnt know when it would be b.c he had to work things out with her life ins co.  I went on my honeymoon and her funeral was last saturday.  We were coming back saturday night, so I missed it.  I do feel bad about missing my freinds funeral but honestly, I didnt think I was emotionally ready to bury my friend.  She was like a sister to me.  I feel bad about it but I still feel like I am not emotionally ready.  

I have heard people say to me bfore, I didnt go to the funeral because I wasnt ready or I couldnt handle it and I didnt understand.  Now, that I have been though this I completely understand. If I would have been in houston, I would have went to the funeral no matter what.  But i wasnt here and it was no way to get out of hawaii any earlier than what we did.   It's hard but you will pull through.  You dont have to attend the funeral to pay respects to your friend.

that is horribly sad.  I'm sending you my love and prayers.

oh and yes i think you should go to the funeral. it will be hard but you'll have support and it will be closure of some sort that you'll need.

I am so sorry to hear this... you should go to the funeral, you will be at peace ( I have been in you place before). My prayers are with you.

my deepest condolences, things will get better in time. Know shes in a bette place...

i am sorry to hear about your friend. i think you should go to the funeral so you can get closer. you have to be strong for her love ones

OMG, I am so so so sorry. My thoughts are with you. At least now she's in peace.

I would attend the funeral, you wouldn't want to regret not going a few months down the road.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. Go to the funeral, she and her family need you there.

I am so so sorry for your loss, and my thoughts are with you and with Talisa's family.  Lots of hugs to you.  

My own personal experience, going to wakes/funerals help give me closure, and even though it's difficult, I'm always glad that I chose to attend.  Do whatever feels right for you.
