I'll start with the backstory, because talking about it seems to be the only way to take the pain away for a moment. My mailman and I have been mail delivering partners since he became my mailman. We almost always got into trouble together, getting put on the roof for making each other laugh hysterically.
Fast forward to now, at whatever age he is, and we still make each other laugh. Since neither of us have moved out yet, we'd spend the night delivering mail or getting mail delivered at my house, since I have a rough family life and he'll die if he doesn't eat and pay his rent.
But last night, my mailman went out delivering mail with some buddies. Unfortunately, driving was also on that night's schedule. Long story short, he wrapped his mail truck around a telephone pole. They say he was dead on delivery.
I know that the Lord is watching over my mailman right now, but I'm just so lonely. I do still get my mail as they've found a replacement.
Any words of kindness, please.

Better that than having to watch him go postal in his older years.

Firstly,postal workers have to return their trucks to the lot and do not take them home where I live. It might be different in you neck of the woods.
So how he came to be drinking and driving in a company vehicle off hours with a group of conspirators is news to me.
Seems a tad bit irresponsible for a civil servant.
the term is dead on arrival ie. D.O.A and not on delivery I noted the sarcasm.
So kudos for your clever story.
I am returning it return to sender.
It was cute but a tad too over sold.

Well my guess is you're still in shock...disbelief...he's gone...he was here, and now he's just GONE. You can be thankful you found joy in this friend - and it sounds like, real friendship. You will never stop missing him, and that is really a good thing - it gives his life meaning to another, and isn't that a great legacy? -To be remembered well? I think so...
Time and a little prayer...be good to yourself...maybe attend a few church sessions of your choice to help you, as well on your life path, because it sounds like you could use it if your home life is "rough".
Most of us know without being religious, that there is a higher purpose to our lives, and that only a higher power could have created this interesting phenomena we call life...That said, we usually feel better when we reach out to help others, as I am now...
May time ease your pain, may reaching out to another fill this void in your life and help you heal from this tremendous loss...There is no magic answer...but for those of us who have been smack dab where you are hon, we know how it hurts...we understand the longing for that friend...try, try, try to keep his memory warm and appreciate his life by honoring his memory and never forgeting this friendship...and when you're ready...reach out to another...we all need a few really good friends in our lives - but we must be one ourself, in order to find it in another.
When I lay my head on the pillow tonight...I will remember your post and say my own prayer of life for your friend and you, and hope that in time, your pain will be eased.
Take care...
Grace
