Kirsten is gone, and I am lost.
Thank you for all prayers. This really hurts.

We’re thinking about you. I’ve never had to deal with the loss of a young close friend or family member so I don’t know what to tell you. Just know that while this is an anonymous message board there are people out there who feel your pain and care about your well being.
Hang in there brother. Your Husker family is here for you.
It will get better. I have lost my parents but it was their time. Still hurt even though you knew it was coming. Eventually you get to where you remember the good times and think less about the loss. You’ll likely go through an anger stage. Don’t let it consume you. Just keep keeping on.
If you have a faith community lean on them. If not, it might be a good idea to seek out a counselor to talk to.
Please know that since you posted originally you've remained in my mind. I don't want you to think you're alone. Please, don't ever think that. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to reach out. No matter how much.
Don't do this alone.
Don't do this alone.
Sorry my man. Losing someone so close in such a sudden manner is really gut wrenching. There's going to be a big hole there for quite a while. We're all here for you as you work through it.
Here is the thing I want you to hear: you are doing the right thing so keep it up. You are not alone. If you start to feel alone, helpless or hopeless reach out and let people know.
This is f'ng killing me. I swear to you she is in a better place and I swear to you she wants you in a better place.
It's going to take some time. Take time to grieve. You need to do that. It's not fun, but it's necessary. Sometimes you just have to put your put your right foot in front of the other. You're going to get through this. We're here if you need us. Just sent a few prayers up for you.

Go to get Some therapy. It helped me after my father died. She just listened to me talk and you need to talk. Get all of it out of you. That and my relationship with God pulled me out of a very dark place.
I have 3 kids and a wife so depression wasn’t acceptable but I was humbled by how powerful loss is

People sometime take this board to task for off topic threads… I think it’s the strength of the board. Gives us a chance to communally experience life together .
Blessings, friend…. I believe in a God who can deliver us from pain of the world…. Blessings and comfort…

I don't know you or your story, but we are praying for you. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you all for the prayers.
It means lots.

Thanks for checking in. Been thinking about you off and on all day.
This is the time when we are all brothers and sisters, feel the heartfelt strength of our prayers surrounding you,
one day we will suffer a loss and feel the strength of your prayer in return.
Psalm 63
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

You know it’s amazing how quickly and yet how long it takes to heal. I said I had never had to deal with this but in fact 11 years ago today I lost a younger sister in her early 50s to cancer. Totally different circumstances I know. We knew it was coming but still the finality was overwhelming. I thought of her almost daily for probably a year. As time wore on I remember those last awful hours less and the good times more. It just takes time to grieve.
God bless you and keep you.

You still hanging in there, @Spectrumalaska? Thinking about you.
Thanks guys.
I am still in completey adrift in emotions.
Things like; I should have known, to anger that I kind of did.
The person I began every morning with and ended every day with is gone. The hundreds of things daily we would share with each other, many silly, I have no one outlet for now.
I am relying on friends for support now. It is rough right now. I am just taking it day by day.
Thank you again for asking, it means more to me than you know.
I miss her so much.
One foot in front of the other. There’s brighter days ahead.
Such blessings of comfort come your way.....Prayers to you....
