Oh, Jo, I am so sorry! We've missed you dreadfully, and all of us have been praying for you. Please, until you get another person who is honored with the title of your best friend, could we please help you? Your friend was precious to you -- how could she not be, she was such a splendid lady! -- and she chose you as her friend. And I just realized, God chose you to be the one to preserve her dignity after death.
All three of you honored each other.

Jo, my heart breaks for you. You are in my prayers as always.

Jo..I'm glad your back with us. I've been thinking about you and praying for you.
To say that I am sorry for your loss seems so inadequate. If there is anything that I can do for you please let me know..Hugs and prayers

Dear Jo, I cannot add more than that which has already been said. I can just echo all sentiments and say that I'm honored to know such a wonderful person as you. God bless you and your friend's family.

Jo you wrote so beautifully of how you see your friend and how you cherished your friendship. It was tragic in how you found her but yet amazing how in that tragic moment, you focuses on the positives about her. This says how you are an amazing person yourself in that moment when most people would have fallen apart with focusing on the tragedy, you managed to focus on the positives. My heart goes out to you in this trying time. Lots of hugs to you in hopes you are able to heal. Yes, you have lost your best-friend but take heart in the fact that she will see you again when it is your time. Hugs and purrs.

So sorry for your loss, Jo. Your writing is beautiful - it gave me chills reading the story of your best friend. I lost a great friend of mine a few weeks ago, and though she lived far away and I hadn't seen her in ages, just kept in touch via mail, it hurt. I still think about her every day. Your friend sounds like a wonderful person.

One can only hope to ever have that type of friendship in their life. I'm so sorry for your loss. Beautiful words for a beautiful friend. . .

What warm and caring people you are. Each one of you is so special. It's heartwarming to read your thoughts and well-wishes and to see how each of you expresses yourself in your own signature style.
So many of you have mentioned how blessed I am to have had such a wonderful friendship. Yes, I agree. It's going to be a little strange from now on.
Thanks again for your compassion and your wisdom, and for all the hugs.
Great Dane, I think your friend felt your love at the moment she passed over. At that moment when the soul separates from the body, love is all there is.

God Bless you Jo...Best Friends are like two parts of one person...It saddens me that you have become splintered this way. Your friend will be watching over you though and nothing.... not even her absence can sever your loving bond. That will always be eternal...*eyes crying*...

Jo-So sorry for your loss. I just lost one of my best friend (also by brother) 6 weeks ago to the day. He ended his own life. 49 years old. Tomorrow I get the joy of cleaning out his vehicle where he ended his life. Its going to be hard. His glasses are still sitting on the dashboard, his boots, laundry that I had done for him. The sooner I get ride of this car, the better. Giving to my younger brother, who has a 3 yr old and carless. Take care and remember to smile.

Jo, I am sitting here at my desk crying for your broken heart. I am so sorry. It's not fair to lose someone that you counted on growing old with, because you inevitably lose a little part of yourself with that person. I know the pain you are feeling my friend. I am sending you and your friends family prayers for healing and peace that passes all understanding. The loss and the grief never go away, but you will find that you have the strength to go on and it will grow by the day. What helped/helps me since the loss of my sister/hero/best-friend 14 years ago is talking about her and what a special person she was. There are times when I have literrally have felt her beside me and have felt the connection that continues between us, until such time as I see her again. Hugs, tissues and lots of prayers.

Thanks, Karenopa and Chris. I know you're both survivors of tremendous loss. I have my faith to lean on. What does one do without it?

Thanks, ppearson. I'm sorry you lost your sister 14 years ago. She must have been quite young. And yes, it helps to talk about all their special qualities and deeds, and the wonderful times. I'm a member of a ladies' circle and she was in it also. We're all getting together tomorrow for lunch to share our stories and celebrate her life.

Jo, my heart broke with you as I read your post of your last time with your dear friend. You spoke with such eloquence and love of your friend. I am touched by your words and wish you comfort and peace in this time of sorrow. You have not lost her, she is around you, Look for her signs, she will come back to you. My love, comfort and prayers are with you during this time. Hugs, purrs and much love, Lynn

Thank you, Lynn. You are right, I'm already seeing signs of my friend everywhere I turn. I have a feeling she's going to spirit-slap me upside the head if I start to make a terrible mistake, lol.

Jo, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am praying for you at this time and hope that you find comfort. You have a real gift for beautiful writing--maybe in time you can write a book about your friend

Thank you, Sandi, for your kind words. I'm definitely not going to finish a November novel ---no matter who or what it was to be about! What a November it's been!

Jo, I have to agree. I'm not getting anywhere on my novel either. I never could find where to post my word count and then I got really sick with a sinus infection and life kept happening. But keep writing you have a gift of making beautiful word pictures Do you ever write poetry

Thank you for the heads up on the thread here,Jo,as I've not posted on it in 3 days.Words which at times come easily to me are failing terribly at this moment as my head and heart are spinning.Your friend sounds like you and she were incredibly blessed by God to have each other in your lives to reach out and hold each other up.I know that she is smiling down at you right now as she is welcomed by the Light of His Love.You must take all the time that you feel you NEED to grieve this monumental loss and sort the pieces of your heart and soul back together.The good thing is when you do and they fuse back in place,the fault lines may still be there but the pieces have become knit together tighter and more durable than the original,very analogously as to bones. This all takes time and proper therapy as I'm sure YOU know.Please be aware that we are ready to give you any and all therapy as you require of us.
Oh!...and one last thing.Please be extra GOOD and gentle to/on yourself.You DESERVE it,Jo!!"Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart,and lean NOT on your own understanding.In ALL your ways give thanks to Him and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 4:5
