Please take care of yourself and I'm truely sorry that a friend of your have lost their life in this hurricane.

Tallanka · Aug 31, 2005, 04:37 PM // 16:37

Wow, I don't know where to begin...I am terribly sorry for your loss, and wish there was something I could say to make you feel better, but unfortunately I don't think any words will make the pain go away. Like everyone else here, I think playing GW is good, I know I also play to forget about the troubles of my life. Feel free to look me up in game, Tallanka Skywalker, if you are on and need someone to talk to.

My sincere condolences,

Tallanka

I realize that my 2 cents aren't really worth a crap, however...

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Like someone above me said, you had what most people(including myself) spend a lifetime looking for. My heart goes out to you. I cannot even imagine the pain you must be going through. Please talk to friends and family etc about it. It will help, even if only precious little.

Please take care.

Hey, at least we aren't all hopeless

Most of us realize that empathy is not just a skill in GW. Sorry, joke in poor taste but hopefully it made you smile

Teufel Eldritch · Aug 31, 2005, 04:46 PM // 16:46

I am sorry. So sorry. =(

Start at beginning of cycle.

I know, it sounds pathetic, but at this point, until my friend makes it here (flying from Los Angeles) I have nothing better to do.

Is it Ok to play GW after this? It keeps my mind off things. I already take anti-depressants, btw. I know.. drinking and smoking is bad...

Thank you all...

If I had to walk in those shoes I'd have a very similar cycle.

I'm sorry for your loss. Keep your head up. Even though you didn't say those three little words, I'm sure she knew.

Just keep doing what you're doing. Your life hasn't changed and you shouldn't act as though it has. Worrying about whether or not it's ok to be doing this or enjoying that is only going to depress you. When I was growing up, every time someone from the block was killed we'd take some time to remember them for what they did and who they were...then we'd say our goodbyes and continue life. Wallowing in the memory of the deceased isn't going to help you live. My most sincere condolences on your loss, I know what it feels like to lose a friend. keep your head up

Night Daftshadow · Aug 31, 2005, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Wow, I'm speechless. I know how it feels to lose someone you really love and care about

Best of wishes and stay strong zehly

I too have lost people who are very dear to me in the Hurricane Disaster in New Orleans, Baton Rouge. I just recieved news last night Two of my best friends who went to New Orleans for their engagement died when the road gave in and their car hit the lower cliffs. Im still recieving reports if they drowned or not. Their Families have asked me to be one of the speakers for the funeral meeting soon..

But Life always throws loose balls at us and its our job to live through what ever the effect is, that is if I can take it.
Loving Memory: Katie Reez & Gerald Reez :'(

Our thoughts, best wishes and prayers are with you to Sarrow.

my wife's reletives lost their home after they had left... it was like 20 yards from the levy.

Tony Blair · Aug 31, 2005, 06:10 PM // 18:10

My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Take care of yourselves.

Tactical-Dillusions · Aug 31, 2005, 06:16 PM // 18:16

Fear not. Your friend is not gone and will be waiting for you when your time comes to cross over to the kingdom of heaven.

Peace.

Crush · Aug 31, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

i don't know what to say... i'm really sorry...
however i think that playing is a very good solution... it keeps mind busy and "away"... it could sound a bit as you're not respectfull of her memory, but i assure you it works...

Accolon Pendragon · Aug 31, 2005, 06:32 PM // 18:32

There isn't anything else to say that hasn't been said before but I can at least offer my prayers and tell you both that even though I don't know any of you, I wish you well.

I am deeply sorry for your losses.

If you ever feel like talking or just spending time doing something not to think about it all, look me up in the game.

Your sad tale truly touched me, I'm so, so sorry for your loss.

Take it slow, make sure you have a firm support base (family & friends.) It may not feel like it at the moment, but if you hang on and take it slowly, time will heal all (Not that you won't have "scarring" [horribly worded but it's the only metaphor that sort of works

] but it will hurt less.)

My hopes and prayers go out to you.

Stay well, Zehly.

That's such a moving story, with such an undeserved ending

The hardest part about getting through deaths is relizing that they are no longer on this world with you...I've found that the best way to keep from drowning yourself in your own sorrows is to find friends who you can rely on and just talk to them about what happend (which you have done here) and to just let it all out. I don't want to say it makes it any easier, but it feels better inside getting all that stuff out.

I'm truthfully sorry to all of you who lost somone in this disaaster, you have my thoughts and best wishes. Keep the loving memory of those you lost alive however. Remember them and all the good times that were had.

TopGun · Aug 31, 2005, 07:00 PM // 19:00

That was a chilling and heartbreaking tale. May God bless Eileen and yourself for all eternity. The sorrows and disasters brought on by powers far beyond our control are strongly sobering.

Soul Shaker · Aug 31, 2005, 07:05 PM // 19:05

If i was a little more feminine, i think i'd be crying by now. You will learn to accept it one day, and if you believe in such things, you will meet her in Heaven.

ozz · Aug 31, 2005, 07:09 PM // 19:09

It is unfortunate to know someone who plays GW and is a paticipant of the Guru forums experienced loss. However, it may be better expressed to your Pastor or a Pastor or Clergy/Chaplain who are qualified to assist you in this time of need.

I encourage you to seek spiritual help and guidance and not allow yourself to remain in the cycle you fidn yourself in. Don't give up the smoking or drinking, just your self willingly to spiritual guidance and support.

Understand that grieving over this loss and degrading your own health and well being will not return Eileen from the grave (but by Divine intervention). Therefore, pour forth your plee for sympathy regarding your loss to professionals who can help you cope with this loss. Make full use of your time off work and do not use it to simply grieve but to look to what is ahead in the future.

Aniewiel · Aug 31, 2005, 07:28 PM // 19:28

I think, Zehly, you can see that the community truly is behind you both with their words and their prayers/thoughts. I hope that you gain some strength from this. Your pain is not unnoticed or ignored.

With that in mind, I am moving this thread to its more appropriate place. It will be noticed as sympathetically there as it is here.

Again, my heartfelt prayers go out to you, Eileen's family and to all the victims of this hurricane.
