Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Once again I'm reminded that the song is true....
Last night a buddy of mine got hit by a truck on his ATV... was killed on impact. His girlfriend was also on the ATV and was airlifted to hospital. Thankfully she is home now... but my buddy is gone and it's a reminder how fleeting life is.
It's hard to know how to feel because we weren't close - in fact, I don't even know the guy's last name... we just chilled with a few of the same people and I used to hang out at his house pretty regularly... it's just always a shock when someone you know is taken so suddenly....
I just want to remind everyone to count every day as a blessing because you don't know when your life might just be cut short

(((hugs)))
I know it's painful, SBoom. If we can just talk and express our feelings, it helps a bit.
I'm very sorry for your pain, and gosh, what the family is feeling???
An awful tragedy.
Hugs to you!!! I hope you can be there for the family, and tell them you will miss him.
I'm very sorry to hear this.
xx
Things can just turn upside down in a split second. Thanks for the reminder, and sorry for your loss hon.
Yes, I too believe the song is true! My brother was the kindest, sweetest person (to everyone but himself, whom he abused, with crappy diet and sleep deprivation), and he's been gone for 4 years now (sepsis following cancer surgery).
Thank God I'M a bit of an asshole (but also very sweet) lol.
Yep, this life is indeed fleeting! But the difficulty is not in dying, it's in how to LIVE fully (I'm sure all of us are grappling with this). Gotta have fun and live intensely...TODAY.
Apparently he was hit by his friends truck and his gf was in the passenger seat when it happened! He was killed on impact.... no one in the truck was hurt but Jesus Christ I can't imagine what they are going through.... a couple of my friends were over there at the girlfriend's house last night and she is a total wreck - so is the buddy that was driving.
I still haven't totally wrapped my head around the whole thing.... probably won't until the memorial...
