kimmer 727; this is not a joke. It happened this morning at 8:00 AM. I have no local family. That's why I'm reaching out to you guys...my cyber support.

That's a tough one, my friend. I'm not sure I would be seeking advice here, however.
Realizing your solitary situation, though, I do sympathize. Just rest in knowing there was nothing you could do and her soul is most likely soaring in a better place as we speak.
Sometimes putting things into perspective helps. There are times with my advanced age, current state of homelessness, low income, no medical coverage, diabetes, and fibromyalgia that I wish I was in a better place. Fortunately, my depression relief training kicks in, I put things into perspective, and I feel a little better. I just rest in knowing that if I try as hard as I can, there will be a reward at the end.
Hang in there, buddy.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and for the traumatic way in which this loss occurred. Most people go their entire lives without ever seeing a dead person, with the exception of open caskets at funerals, and even that is uncomfortable for most people.
There are organizations in most cities that offer free counseling for anyone who has experienced such an event. You might want to contact one of these agencies and talk to someone. Both the police department and the fire department can provide you with the names and phone numbers of such organizations.

Sawyer honey, I know what it feels like. That is sad. Seeing someone you love in that state is almost unbearable. When I was eleven I went to my parents room one morning and found my dad paralyzed from a heart attack in bed. He died minutes later. I didn't feel anything for days. It must have been a week later that I actually cried. Most of the time we do not mourn the person's passing, but the lack of communication that ensues. If you want to, you can e mail me. HUGS!!!!

I am so sorry. Diabetes is an awful disease that can cause so many complications. Many people in my family have it unfortunately. You can find comfort in knowing you did everything you could for her, including being a friend, and that she's no longer suffering. Just give yourself time to grieve and heal. I'll keep you in my prayers.
God Bless.

I'm so sorry Sawyer.
Does she have relatives or friends who can help you? I wish I could help. How distressing!
Years ago when my mom and dad had to deal with his brother passing (there wasn't any other support from his family), my mother was so stressed she ended up calling one of those telephone help lines... just for someone to talk to. It's important for you to have a person to unburden yourself, even if it's a long distance voice. Call someone you are close to just to talk. If there's no one - call a distress line.
Much love and hugs to you my friend! You will be in my thoughts and I will life you up in prayer today.
blessings :)

Sawyer, how distressing for you, man. *hugs sawyer*
I've always admired your answers and you offer a kind thoughtful and considered word every time. I am therefore quite sure you did everything anybody possibly could do for her, mate.
Does she have family or are you trying to handle this situation alone? If you need a shoulder to lean on, I've got one good one left. Get some sleep, mate.

I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do for you besides pray for the situation--and you. That is a very traumatic experience to go through. I wish I could say more, but I don't know what to say--I've never experienced anything like that. I'm so sorry.
Is there anything specific you want me to pray for? I wish I were there....

Sawyer, my heart hurts for what you may be feeling.
I know we have heard it or seen it on here3 time and time again. ' I know what your going through. Cause I can't say that because I am not with you and..........
So it doesn't feel like much when I say it, but I have been in a similar but different place and held my friend whilst her long blonde hair interlocked with blood with through mine and ......she passed.
I Love ya brother and seek Him who knows all in your quiet times and when you don't get responses please, it's personal.
Because He Loves and he knows above everyone who and what you need.
Please take a day off work and don't try and be a hero.
You already are.
Love in Him,
Always,
Cate.
