Not only was this guy a great friend, but he worked for me and was
one of my most trusted employees. In
a sense, it was
a double loss.
That was real hard to get over. If fact, I still think about the guy today and cannot believe he's gone. Obviously, as times gone by, its easier to deal with and I know that I can't change it, so I deal with the loss.
As I mentioned above, there is not a text book on mourning the loss of a friend or loved one.
