April 6, 20188 yr I received the news early this morning my buddy for 64 years had slipped away... Smoking has claimed another life.... Still in her sixties... She took her last puff 2 days ago...coughing and spluttering...it was painful to watch.... I know I did my very best to get her a ticket here...but it was not to be.... I must now continue my own journey through life without her..
April 6, 20188 yr Sorry for the loss of your friend Doreen. It's horrible to see and be powerless to do anything about it. I'm certain your friend would have been grateful for your ever present love. Take care of yourself!
April 6, 20188 yr Doreen, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I know it is heartbreaking to lose such a dear friend. Lots of hugs to you, and prayers for you and all her loved ones.
April 6, 20188 yr (((Doreen))) I'm so sorry for your loss - I know you will carry her in your heart forever.
April 6, 20188 yr Sorry for your loss. Man we talk about the dangers of smoking all the time but somehow it only gets through you when real life sh!t happens. Smoking will kill millions, its no joke, no "bad habit" no friend. It will destroy you unless you quit. So newbies that walk this forum, look at this message from the kid and do me a favor: keep your quit. Guard your quit above all.
April 6, 20188 yr I know you are gutted right now and I have no words to make anything brighter for you. Just know we are all thinking of you in your time of sorrow
April 6, 20188 yr I'm so sorry you lost your life long friend today Doreen. I hope you can find comfort in all the memories you two created together (((Doreen)))
April 6, 20188 yr There are no words to make this better or take away your pain but as you look back at the memories of your shared lives focus on the laughter and the cheer. Know also that you are in our thoughts at this time. So sorry for your loss and your friends death much too soon.
April 6, 20188 yr Doreen , so sorry for the loss of your friend. sending you ((((hugs)))) and thinking of you.
April 6, 20188 yr So sorry for this Doreen and believe me I know how it feels. There is nothing I can add except that I have you in my thoughts and prayers.
April 6, 20188 yr Take good care during this time of reflection. Sorry to hear you are going through this.
April 7, 20188 yr Oh my god. With everything else you have been through lately. You did everything you could to try to get her to quit. Each of us though is an adult and we must each make our own choices. Even though it is not quite like having a real life good friend there but you know we are here for you.
April 7, 20188 yr Author You have no idea how much your words of comfort have helped me along... Just feeling I'm not alone has given me the strength to cope right now... Thank you so much...I love you all.... Xxxxxxx
April 8, 20188 yr This is sad news, Doreen. You were a good friend, the very best. You never stopped encouraging her to stop smoking and you are such a shining example of smoke free beauty. I hope you can find some peace and solace here and there. Please take very good care of yourself, you ,who takes care of everybody. S
