It is tough as hell to loose a loved one. Sorry for your lose. Time heals most wounds though.

My gaming clan lost one of their best this year. The guy was one of the coolest, crudest people you would ever have the pleasure of being yelled at for team killing on vent for.

Did you and your family make it through the holidays ok? It's hard on ppl when they face holidays when someone they love isn't there to share family time. Hope you & your family are ok. You did a good thing here, you know.

We made it ok...my mom is still having a really hard time with it...being her only and younger brother is gone...but were fine...one of the traditional f@#$ed up holidays tho....people freaking out over little things...my roommate/exgirlfriend wont talk to me and i told her she could move out, and she did, but now wants me to move out, so there is a debate there....my mom is moving to a different city, and school is starting soon....traditional holiday stuff...

I dont mind at all. He was older than I was and had a chose to live life in the fast lane. I was baby sitting for his sister than night. Early in the am I woke up startled and I went down to his folks house where they had a house in the back and I climbed over the fence and went in and saw him face up on the bed, I went up and touched him and he was cold, so I ran out and climbed back over the fence and knocked on his folks door his mom ran back there and freaked and told me to call the ambulance.

Some family and I went to the hospital and he was DOA. They told me that he passed from bronchil pnuemonia. I never saw the report but figuring some shady characters showed up later in the day chances are there may be more too it than that. Unfortunately he may have accidentally OD'd...He did mention to me the year before he was not going to be around for another year. Creepy but he was right.

I have to make a correction though. I was not 15 I was 16. I gonna be 42 and I still talk to his sister a couple times a year.

Kind of hard to talk about with some people when the subject of your first love comes up. Havent met anyone yet that has said the same. Not something you ever forget either.

One way to deal with it is through humor so I usually describe him as my dead boyfriend because we technically did not break up.

Oh the stories I could tell LOL

piranah · 01-01-2008, 10:39 PM

wow...what a "story"...my uncle died of something similar...the autopsy said he overdosed....well he was prescribed to 23 different meds and 19 of them had interactions...he had a heart condition that they never told us about...he smoked 2 packs of reds a day...he had pneunomonia (sp) for about a week before he passed...the temperature of his room was 57 degrees when they found him...the kicker is that even tho they called it an overdose,,,,they found no pills in his stomach, no empty bottles near him, or any abnormal traces of medicine in his mouth or blood system...so how did he od??? he lived in a residential care home as he had mental health problems, and had no access to his meds without one of the staff knowing??????

cheri · 01-01-2008, 11:09 PM

That is suspicious. Maybe the toxicity built up over time? Meds are so touchy, prescription or otherwise.

My friends mom died and they called it congestive heart failure. Didnt even do an autopsy.
