    wow, my condolences to you X****r, I hope you are holding up okay through this tragedy.

    As far telling your mom there is no real easy way of doing it. be braced for her reaction and know that she made need a shoulder to cry on for a while. Stay as positive as you can in the face of this and maintain strength, this will be good for others arond you if you want everybody to stay somewhat calm.

    Damn, I am real sorry for your loss. That's horrible. Just unbelievable. When it's unexpected like that it's just crazy. Don't let the tragedy pull you down. Stay strong for you and your moms, for real. Damn.

    So sorry for your loss Xavier. Nothing I can say will help but I feel for you. Last week my colleague and friend got a call saying his brother had died suddenly. Went to the doctor with a back pain then headed up to the hospital for a test and died from a blood clot in the waiting room. My friend's father died 18 months ago (on the same day my father died) and like you my friend had to break the news about his brother's death to his mother. Look out for each other and be strong for your mother. Life is precious. Peace.



    The funeral was yesterday and I think that was a big help - a real celebration of his life and what he meant to the people around him.

    peace,xavier
