Its common, the superstition that 'bad things happen in threes' comes from somewhere. But its important to remember that it is just a superstition. I had two friends die within two months of each other, then my grandfather fell ill the following month. I remember waiting for number three, I honestly sat there and thought that's two friends, please be quick with the next. Isn't that awful? But how much does our thought process affect what happens? Powerful tool the mind, I hope that you never do, but if you find yourself in a similar situation again...change your thoughts - this will only happen to me once this time, I know it.

Something that helped me get through this was thinking that they were taken for a reason, to either prepare me for life changing experiences, or that God just needed them....he'd ran out of the really good ones

Best wishes to you.

Awww so very sorry to hear both yours and Miff's story.

Death is so sad yet inevitable for us all. I do not agree with suicide but we all have freedom of choice and if that is what your friend decided than so be it. I remember in school tragic news broke that a fellow pupil in our year had died.....he was a healthy young boy in his prime one minute and the next his heart just stopped while watching TV. Fact is we never know when the Angel of death will come for us, what me must do is make the most of the time we have.

*Big hugs to the both of you*
