i just got a call that my coworker of 3 years passed away yesterday. i just got a phone call from his son(who is also my coworker) like 10 minutes ago and i was in complete shock. his dad was an awesome guy and im upset right now so if you could pray for all his coworkers, his family and friends who loved him that would be much appriciated <3 and its also really hard bc as i mentioned on here awhile ago not even 6 months ago another one of our coworkers passed away =[

Do you people only pray when you're in despair or when you want something?? Treat God better and maybe he'll treat your acquaintances/friends/family members better!! Get a life, dude.

Hey T F....

you're understandably upset, I know how close you were to your co workers.

i'll send you a p m.

 

[Stugots]

LOL... you sure have lots of anger for being a devoted Christian... perhaps you should try anger management instead. And don't be such a drama queen, because my comment was directed to all the conditional Christian members here, not just you. I'll pray for you and whisper and I'll ask God to let you both off the hook for all that shit you'll talk in private.

Bad form man ... very bad form.

 

[tanned67]

I will be praying for you and the man's family, friends, and coworkers during this difficult time.

Hey Stugots I just talked to T F by p m....she's understandably pretty distraught right now, just having a friend die unexpectedly.

While I don't condone her reaction, humans are just that, human, and they have a range of emotions that they try to cope with under traumatic circumstances.

Its pretty common for folks to come here on our forum and ask for prayers and well wishes when they have traumatic circumstances occurr in life. They just want a little emotional support during trying times, and I think that's all T F was asking for.

Her response to you is out of character for her, which leads me to believe that this death hit her pretty hard....she has posted before that she regards her former co-workers as her family, which can be common if you work with people intimately for a long period of time.

 

[cloudgazer2k]

my condolences to you and the family, ticklefan.

and pay no attention to Stugots. someone keeps shitting in his Cheerios.

 

[Babbles]

Absolutely.

(This is the second time tonight I'd quote cloudgazer, among others... Ditto twice over.)

I'm very sorry for your (collective) loss, and for his family especially as well.

It's very kind of you to ask for prayers from others for others here.
I'm also sure the vast majority who see this thread will have the same (reasonably positive) reaction to your request (from what I've seen and understood, that is supposed to be another significant function of this forum).
You're all in many thoughts and prayers I'm sure

 

[firegod86]

He sounds like a good man. I'm sure he is at peace now and my prayers go out to his family. Rest in peace dear soul.

 

[TKForce]

I will pray for you, those around you who are also in need
and I will ask my friends and family to keep you in their prayers aswell. 🙂

It's too bad that you had to deal with someone who showed such a lack of
compassion at the start of this thread.
Don't let it affect you or discourage you some people just don't have an
understanding of the grief that loss brings.

I pray that God will help you find peace under these difficult circumstances.

Perhaps we should pray that the person with a lack of understanding is
granted the wisdom by God to be more compassionate.

thank you to everyone who replied and was so kind. i truly do appriciate it.

the wake was tonight. the funeral is tomorrow but unfortunately i have to work but i wanted to pay my respects to him tonight. ive been to them before but this hit harder than others ive been to. i walked in and laid eyes on him and began to shake slightly. luckily i had my grandma with me(bc i didnt know where the funeral home was and im horrible with directions so she took me) and she grabbed my hand and also because its a scary thing to see someone you know lying in a coffin. but i went up to him and stroked his hand for a moment and looked at him quietly saying my silent goodbyes. i didnt want to start crying infront of everyone but i was shaking and had a huge lump in my throat.

i took a deep breath and held his hand for a moment longer and then went over to his family and shook their hand because ive met his sister and mom but don't really know them but when i got to his son(whom i work with and am good friends with) he leaned over and gave me a big tight hug and just held me for a moment and i returned the squeeze and i whispered. "im here for you if you need anything, i love you. im so sorry" and he said "love you too and thank you katie" and then i sat down for a moment and talked quietly with some of my coworkers and i saw one of my coworkers crying(he worked in the kitchen with martin(that was his name) and so i walked over to him and gave him a hug to comfort him and talked with him for a moment before going back to my seat. then left after maybe 10 minutes. martin(pronounced mar-teen, they're hispanic..) was such a sweet, gentle man with a big heart and he was/is very much loved and i know i will miss him dearly.

btw sorry that was so long, just thought i'd let everyone know how it went. thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts <3
