Oh Fidds, I don't know what to say.
You never know what you'll miss until they're gone.
My grandad nearly died in a car accident a few years back, and it just woke my up to reality.
Poor Becca.
Poor you.
*hugs*

We've had alot of that recently around these parts. One of my sisters mates died early on in the autumn, and one of my brothers best mates died recently in a car crash. They were both really nice people too. *hugs* Sometimes you just don't know what to say.

Well, I almost died last Friday. I was on my way to collect my invitations cards for my wedding when a motorcyclist speed towards me. I panic and scream in the middle of the road and my legs just will not run. The motorcycle just passes by a few cm from behind me. A girl behind me crossing the road was in shock too.
I guess we just have to learn how to appreciate each day we live. We dunno when we will die.

I feel very sorry for you... My grandmother died in an accident two weeks ago, so I know how you feel.

FOR REBECCA
Sixteen year old girl
She must still live in your heart
Her spirit will fly
I'm sorry for you, we all learn how much to appreciate everyday, I agree. You never know when it'll be you. Fidds, I feel your sorrow. My best friend died last year in a car accident. I don't talk to anyone much since then. Until I die, I know that I posted in this topic. Thank you for posting this. We all know now to appreciate eachother. And hopefully, just hopefully, we will feel better for a lost friend or a loved one. Because, I know all of us has been through this.
I'm sorry.

That made me cry. That is so sad. It's scary to think that your life may be gone in any instant. Do you think if a PPTer died we would know about it? I could die and no one would know what happened to me because nobody knows I go online. Could it be possible for one of your online friends to be dead right now without you even knowing? It's scaring me...

That's what death is.
Often unbelievable, hard to grasp. Finite. Terrifying.
There's no point in getting melodramatic (I'm not accusing people of the following) or wasting many hours in going over and over it. Realisation of the fragility of life is all that's needed.
Fidds, I'm sorry for the loss that you and people around you have suffered. It's always a shock when something like this happens. My friend lost her mum in the same way, and I was quite close to her. So I do know exactly how you're feeling. Another friend's best friend was murdered.
If you want to talk to me about it at any point, feel free to contact me.

No...no...please don't bring that up, that's ALL I thought about after Ch--I won't say it. I was so depressed. And I didn't even know her. I'd never seen her posts. All I could think of was, what if I died? What would my online friends think? And so I wrote a will-type thing instructing my parents on exactly how to tell you guys if something ever happened to me...I need to update it to include FFW, but they know about PPT.
Anyway, I don't really know what to say, seeing as I've never posted in this kind of topic before. As soon as my comp gets fixed (I'm on my brother's), I'll sign onto AIM and you can talk to me. I'll listen, even if I can't say much. *huggles*
EDIT: On second thought, you could just PM me. That is, if you want to talk to me. It's perfectly fine if you don't.

After contemplation...
I don't believe that any of us, young, or old, should live our lives, expecting for people to die, or expecting ourselves to die. Yes, cherish what you have, cherish the people around you, make sense of the good and the bad, but don't live in fear of death. Don't be afraid to talk about it. Death is a part of life, cliche as it is. It's the truth.
People die every day, even if you don't know them. And often theres nothing you can do to stop it. I've experienced enough situations involving death in my life, of young, and old, to know how i'm affected. Everyone is touched in a different way by it, no two people truthfully handle it in the same way, because every situation is different. The people involved are different. The way of death is often different.
It's tragic, that a young person died, but young people die daily, younger then this. Of heart failure, of cancer, of diabetes, of idiocy and of war. The list grows longer every day.
Theres nothing we can do to stop it, but we can remember whats happened to the people involved, and watch for the signs that lead up to it. Learn from death, but don't fear it. Fearing it won't help anyone, especially yourself.
And Fidds...?
*hugs*

I'm so sorry, Fiddelysquat. I haven't a clue how bad you must feel, but it has to be bad. I've has cats that've died and such. People. Both my grandfathers and one of my grandmothers died before I remembered them, and my dad nearly died once. But you're right; death does seem like something only old people, or people with disease should go through.
Like o_O said, how would we know if one of us died? I have a friend from real life here on PPT, so we'd tell if either one of us died. *shudders* But I coulnd't bear it if she died.
Anyways, if you ever need a shoulder, PM me. I'll be sure to pray for you, as well as Becca.

I'm so sorry!!!
i know no one can actually say that they know what you're going through, but i've had many people in my family die in the past few years, and i've had pets die, though thats not the same thing.
its easier when you know that theyre going to die, like if you have cancer or someting. I have a friend who she is only one of two people to have this one disease, and from what i herard of it, she'll probably die. ive had friednds with diabetes, one with an autoimmune disorder...
i feel really bad for u, and i wish there was something i could do to help.
RIP Rebecca

I live in Florida, it's not really all it's cracked up to be :/ (specially with the latest hurricane season)
But omg..that's horrible. I've never had to have that happen to me, fortunately, but...wow. I can't even imagine what it must feel like. I'm always here if you need a shoulder to lean on though.

Death is a very hard thing to live through within our lives. I send my condolences to you, people who were friends with her, and her family, and I hope you and they can get through this time.
Death is not easy, but is part of life, and it can happen at any time, sometimes, like you said, without warning

A few days ago one of my peers died. Not in such a quick flash as yours, but he committed suicide. He had tons of friends, and suddenly, he was gone. I didn't know what to do.
I'm sure what you're going through is much worse.

I'm sorry to hear about that, however I can relate to a similar incident. About a year ago, the same kind of thing happened. Two girls die in a car accident. It was front page news. I saw that person around all the time, but not anymore. I never saw so many people cry for someone. It's tragic.
I was once told that "death is life's teacher." Really.
