I am sorry, I was absent lately. I was broken and confused. There are times, when our minds just stop working.. and everything seems to be a mess. We try to run away from it.. but don't realize that, its going to make things even worse. I just went through all of this and trying my best to come back and restore things back to normal.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Please take your time and let your sorrows pass. Though your life will never be the same, eventually you'll learn to adjust to the emptiness.

As far as the website goes, don't worry about it. That's what the staff is for. Most of the time we can handle the problems for you and would prefer that you take some time for yourself. Nothing has happened here that can't be fixed so set your mind to rest.

For now just reflect on your time with your friend and get you life in order.

My thoughts continue to be with you.

I am sorry to hear this. I know how hard it is when you lose someone very close, but it is a pain that must be overcome, sooner or later. I am sure it is hard for you at the moment, so do take a few days of rest - or even weeks if necessary. Don't worry about job or anything else, just relax.

We are all with you.

Wow man... I'm really sorry to hear that. I know it's been said but I'll reiterate anyways, don't worry about the site. The fact that you cared at all to inform of us the reason for your absence speaks volumes and you need not spend any time focusing on the site when there are much more important things for you to focus your thoughts on. Again, really sorry to hear about all this.

feel your pain bro.. feel your pain..

i too lost a very special friend some years ago..

took me around 5 long years to get over that.. she was my most trusted friend and destiny took her away..

Truly sorry for your loss, don't forget it's ok to mourn, but you have to stay in life, routine helped me someway.

I'm very sorry, OpaQue . If you need a break, please take one. I'm sure we'll manage.

I express my condolences, OpaQue, for the loss of your friend. From what you have written, Derek was a very special person to you, which makes his death even harder. Take some time out to grieve. Shed tears with the close few whom you trust. Pray for strength and resolution.

As for the site ... I am new here, so I do not know how it operates. But given your circumstances, I think the administrative duties can be handled by your colleagues.

It is hard enough when one has to travel away from a friend. It would be harder in this case.

Take courage from the memories you have had with friend - that is all I can say.

My condolences for your loss. Remember his life and the memories.

Celebrate them.
