I'm starting to feel more anxious again.

I have very little in my life that keeps my mind off of trouble but one of them is getting together with a few friends during the week to play games. One of those friends passed away at the beginning of this month and it has dampened the fun we used to have gaming. One of us is more hit by it than others, he is older than me by ten years and closer to the one who passed away's age. He has been getting more depressed and feeling his age and fearing death. It has caused him to lash out at us and no longer be able to enjoy or time together. I'm hoping he will pull lout of it and realize that having friends and sharing good times is one of the few things we have to forget the coming on of age and slowing down.
His lashing out and causing the games to be less fun is weighing on my heart. I have very little that makes me happy and his actions towards me and our group is causing me pain. I do not wnat to lose a friend or the time we have socializing and gaming together. I pray he gets better and things can return to what they were as much as they can with our friend's loss.
Pray for my friend.
