This is what happens when you lead separate lives....

My man and I have fairly separate lives - he has his friends, I have my friends, and we share a few in the middle.
He has his nights out with his mates, I do my own thing with my friends, and we have a fair number of people we spend time with jointly.

This morning, I found out that a very good friend of his passed away Christmas morning. Took them a while to get in touch with me, as no-one had my number.

There is no way for me to let him know about this before Monday. Currently, he's 100 nm offshore, and the company office is closed for the weekend.

Looks like I will be going to the funeral Monday (I knew the guy, but not as close as my man), because even if I could get in touch, it takes 3 days travel to get back from the remote region he's working at.

It's a shit of a situation :(

true, the last funeral i went to was 5yrs ago when i lost my grandmother(my mother's mom)

This will be the 16th this year for me.
Granted, I wasn't as close to this guy as my man was..... but he was only 53.
Very sad.
 
damn, 16 in one yr... sheeiiiiiit, how can you do it?

This is the most so far.
Two babies, 5 in their 30's, and the rest in their 50's and older.
It's not the babies or the older ones that get you...... it's knowing an otherwise perfectly healthy person in their 30's died from a brain aneurism..... their whole life ahead yet, leaving young kids behind....
Those tear out a tiny bit when they happen :(

Now that you've said "no point posting in my threads", I'll post in every one of your threads.

Thanks for the heads-up. :cool:

attention whore who's going to die next:confused:

I'll take brother in law for 500 if I know what the odds are first.
 
That is a tough situation. I feel bad for your husband as he probably will wish he could have paid his respect. I'll be thinking of you both.

There's no way to reach him or anybody that he's with? Radio? Cellphone? Semaphore?
