My friend died today. Cancer. RIP. Can't write. No motivation.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Don't worry about writing right now unless it will help with what you're feeling.

Hang in there.

That's too bad, Zero. Cancer is a tough way to go.

When my mom died, it was a motivation to write (and a way of releasing some of the grief). I wrote about her.

Just remember, your friend is no longer suffering.

Zero, I feel for you. I had a friend die last week. He was apparently driving along and began having a heart attack. He pulled off to the side of the road and died. I really got kind of mad about the whole thing. It was a fairly busy road and somehow he ended up sitting in the car for two days before anyone realized he was dead. He was only 36.

I extend my deepest condolences. I lost a few loved ones this year. I am not the best at dealing with death, but after losing one of my best friends, I found that writing helped and that it could be used not only as a medium to convey my emotions but a wat to eternalize my feelings toward said friend. The result was a story which I entered in the Return to Luna Competiion. It did not win, but I felt it was an accomplishment nonetheless. It also serves as a memorial of sorts.

Thank you. The funeral is soon. It's just never easy, is it.

Sorry.

Each person mourns differently, and each mourning experience is unique (as each person and each relationship is unique.)

For me work, whatever that entails, is how I work through the emotions. I once spent three days playing Pokemon, when my scoutmaster died.
