Hi,
So sorry to hear about your friend's death. I don't know if you've heard this poem before but my gran used to keep it in her handbag and it has become a family favourite and brought us all comfort.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

One thing that can be comforting, if you have any pictures of him, is to set up a free memorial where you can visit, light candles for him, and join with others that knew him as well. I will give you a link to a site of a friend of ours here so that you can see that memorial and get some idea of how to do that. This is a friend who died after some 3 years of fighting cancer and there are some comforting words there for you that may give you comfort as well. You have our sympathy and he has our prayers.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
i hope this helps a little and I'm so sorry for your loss x

Buldings burn. People pass away.
But true love last forever.
My truee love it means friendship lovee.
I'm really sorry though. It's tough losing someone you love.

although you felt the need to move along,
in my heart, you still belong.
I can't help to think you were wrong,
but I sure wish you were not gone,
I miss you
