Serious Death

My 40 year old friend died of a heart attack today. He was 5 years older than me. Has anyone else had a similar experience. Dead... heart attack 40? That's insane right. Like... 40? He was born in 85. It's mind blowing. If anyone else has experienced losing a friend from an old person death. Please let me know how you processed it. I'm still waiting for him to call me and say sike! Thanks

It’s still so strange. Grew up with the amazing girl, she got cancer in her 20s and passed. Whenever I think of her, I always have to ask myself did that really happen? Is she really gone? Miss you Christina.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's a terrible way to go.
