when I was in college, my best friend flipped his mustang and cut a telephone pole in half leaving a poker game we both went to regularly. He was on the phone (the big cell phones with a pack and cord in the early 90's). And he was talking to me at the time. We were talking about a party we were going to go to that weekend. I heard him say something then heard a horrible noise. Then nothing.
I knew his route home so I flew out there as fast as my car would carry me. Stupid, I know, but that's what I did. I found him. I got the people who lived down the road from the accident to call for help then ran to my friend. I stayed with him until he passed away. I couldn't even get him out of the car to do anything.
I have lost alot of people close to me including my grandmother, grandfather, and mother. My friend's death seemed to have the most impact on me. Perhaps because it was so sudden and so senseless. And perhaps because he knew things about me that even my mother didn't know.
But I will tell you this much. I continued my life with the same drive as before. Only, with much more focus and appreciation for the importance of living life to it's fullest. And I don't mean with reckless abandon. Quite the opposite.
In college, I was young, driven, fun-loving, and indestructible. Jay's death shocked me into the realization that the last item on that list was far from true.

My best friend Kathy was killed in a car accident 2 years ago this October -- I was in total shock - I still am. I cannot go to her grave yet. I've been on the road she was killed on only 2 times since it happened. I still have her phone numbers programmed in my cell and yes I still cry alot. She was my best friend and I miss her soo... much. I hope this never happens to you.

I would mourn it of course, but I would keep on living life. What can you do? You should always live life to the fullest that you can make it.
