billiefan2000 like all here are members and part of this “family”. Looking around at the links he posted I came across another board he post to and found that in and around Sept 8th his brother died.

His best friend also dies this year it seems.

Like all families’ brothers and sisters’ fight and get under the skin of each other but are always family.
 
My condolences to the guy too.

But that doesn't mean I am going to lighten up on him if/when he says something absurd, though.
 
There is nothing we can say to replace your loss but you still have friends here.
 
I'm sorry for your loss, Billiefan

I'm sorry that some immature, foolish posters have no empathy with your loss.

What is your problem, dude? This is one of the coldest things I've ever heard somebody say on this forum.
 
I'm sorry for your loss, too, billie. If you feel like you'd like to share your memories of your brother's life with us, I'd love to hear them.

Take good care of yourself and you family.
 
Billiefan,
Your brother was only a few years younger than my dad was when he died of a heart attack. Loss is never easy, loss of one so youthful . . .
And I went to your friends site. She seems a great and interesting person, a good and loving mother . . .
You have sure been through it these past months. I am so sorry. May you find comfort in friends, and in knowing they both loved you.

And thanks to Pahansiri for reminding us that grief doesn't care if you are a skeptic or believer, and of the power of compassion.

I have little sympathy for the lunatics of this forum.


Anyways, the statement I posted was 100% true.
 
This thread has been reported, and so I have read it.

First, Billiefan, please know of my great sympathy for you in this time. When I lost my mom 10 years ago, my brother in law said something to me that was of great comfort. He said, what you are feeling now is saddness and also dispair. But with time, the dispair will fade, and you will be left with only the saddness. That means you will be able to smile through the tears as you remember your brother, and that while there will always be an empty spot in your heart, there will be a warmness to it as well. As I type this, my father is in critical condition in a Michigan hospital. I find comfort in the knowledge that the dispair will fade. I hope this offers some comfort.

As to LK's post. I find this post to be one of the most heartless, cruel, immature, and just plain mean posts it has been my displeasure to read on this forum. I believe it violates the Jerk rule profoundly, and will take proper actions via private channels.

Tell me, who does that reflect poorly on?

Even if you are perfectly correct, sometimes it's best to remain silent. You have to balance your need to be "right" with simple human compassion.

Billiefan: My condolences for your loss.
