Death and Thoughts

Feleray, brother of my best friend, Jeremy, passed away this morning due to a motorcycle accident. I called Jeremy at around 8:30PM to find out what happened, but he was in so much pain emotionally that he was crying as he spoke, and I barely understood what he said to me. All I know is that my best friend is hurting right now, and I can only imagine what the rest of his family and friends are going through. But what can I say to help Jeremy feel better? Nothing. There's nothing I can say to calm him or make him feel less pained because it's just not possible that anyone could accept with what happened today. All I can do is listen to him cry and talk about how hard it is for him to realize that Feleray is really gone. I feel like a useless friend. I asked him to be strong for his family so they can have someone to depend on... But who can be strong for him? This event happened so suddenly. Without any warning, a person whom I've known since I was 12 suddenly leaves this Earth. How are his friends and family supposed to accept this? How can anyone just say "this is a part of life" and expect that to be enough to help them get over this? Yes, it is a part of life. Accidents happen. Loved ones die. With all the wishes in the world, there's no way to bring him back. The only way he can continue living is in the minds of those who remember him. We are all young. We all live life on the edge. But what we don't realize is how many people we involve once they let us into their hearts. Every person you meet and talk to have a chance of accepting you into their hearts, to where even someone you say hi to daily and nothing else to could be shocked and feel pain to some degree at the loss of your existence. Rest in peace, Feleray.
