The incredible power of grief

Sorry for your loss, it sounds like you lost one of those precious few who's "been through the trenches" with you and might truly have understood and appreciated you for who you are. I haven't lost anyone that close to me, but imagine that it would be very difficult, especially since it would serve as a stirring reminder of my own mortality, and the 'unfairness' of life.

Very true. The in-my-face irony is that if I had a different friend who died prematurely leaving kids etc, the person I would want to call to discuss my feelings about it and what it means in the big picture is my friend who just passed...

I've been very lucky in my life that I haven't lost many family members, friends, or acquaintances in my time. But two people who have died both died from pancreatic cancer. I can appreciate the agony and just how terrible this particular form of cancer is. By the time it's detected, it's basically too late for recovery.

So my condolences as well, I can appreciate the suddeness of the loss.

Not to make light of the situation but who was J.D. and who was Turk?

I don't think anything in our lives surpasses sorrow for strength, duration and indelible effect.
