It has been a few days since one of my fellow teammates passed away. It is heartbreaking for me to know that a fellow 7 footer that was an important part of my first year at high school is gone. I am writing this thread to try to accept what happened and cool off the stress.

Aw <|3

I'm sorry for your loss, pm me if you need to talk.

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Sorrry D:

 

I'm rude as f***, but I hate when people apologize for this kind of s***. First off, you don't care enough to be sorry. Second off, you don't deserve to be sorry. Lastly, if you could bother to say sorry, why don't you bother in trying to fix it? Saying sorry doesn't fix anything. I don't want to ramble off condolences because I think you need my pity. You don't, and I'm not giving it to you. I'm also not going to say that your friend would've wanted you to move on, and be strong, or whatever. Because they don't. They didn't want to die, and they don't want you to move on. Everyone yearns to be remembered.

I'm going to say thank you, thank you for sharing this with us, and thank you for remembering him. Dead or alive, people matter. Sorries are things you forgive, and when you forgive you forget. You shouldn't forget. Sorties don't matter. Thank you for appreciating his life, and thank you for not being sorry.

 

I agree with what ImBasicallyJesus says

Thank you for sharing this with us and if you need anyone to talk to about it you can pm me. I have had to deal with my deaths in my family and I can say that I know how it feels. Never forget the ones that mattered to you. He would be grateful that you are keeping his memory alive.

 

Feeling sorry for someone because they lost an important person in their life is an appropriate response, and though you might not feel sorry for them doesn't mean that anyone else's sorry isn't sincere. Maybe you personally cannot feel empathy, pal.

 

I can't feel a plethora of emotions, but I hate it when people say sorry, when they're just a "oh no too bad, boo boo have a nice day," because they don't care, and it doesn't affect them.

 

Dude, somebody died. Quit being some kind of special snowflake who thinks it's cool to be an a*****e. The people saying sorry just want to help, it's called empathy. You're being so insensitive it's ridiculous, leave your little rant for another time.

 

I feel for your family, may God be with you

 

I feel you brother, I lost one of my best friends in Middle School. He passed away from a seizure/shock. You have my back to grieve on. I feel your pain.

 

I'm grateful that you shared this, as Halzii said.

 

When i was in fourth grade this boy named Alex died, I really wasn't his friend, but I felt so bad after he died.

 

When I was in 1st grade, one of the people I hated had died over spring break (lasts a week) by drowning. And by now I just feel really mean and I felt sorry and I knew she would want to be remembered, if not by people she knew by at least one person. True empathy right here. Super sorry for your friend's passing.

 

How exactly are they helping? I'm not being insensitive or emotionless, I just said it in a non-ridiculous, non-sorry way. People die everyday, and even me, a Canadian, has enough time to say that many sorries. Stop trying to think you're helpful.

 

We're going a little off topic.

 

I wasn't. I made one post, expressing my opinion, being grateful that he shared such personal information with us. And people were offended that I went against what they believed in and didn't say a meaningless word.

 

Things we take for granted.

Such a young age as well to die at. Thank you for sharing; I think this is a reality check for all of us as well.
