Its been a week now and I am just really starting to feel the loss. Last weekend my cousin and his wife were killed in a accident where they were riding a motorcycle and hit a vehicle that pulled out in front of them. He was a person that would do anything for people. I grew up with him and his brothers. We hunted as a family with many generations in the woods at the same time. He was now in his 50's but man the memories are sure coming back now. Their funeral is tomorrow and it is going to be real hard' Especially with the social distancing and every thing. He will sure be missed.

truly sorry for your loss.

I gave up riding when my daughter was born. had every intention of getting back into it after she was grown.

but had too many close calls in a pickup (due to people texting) over the last couple years...cured me of the urge.

Sorry for your loss.

Have the funeral, BS on social distancing. Gramm passed Wednesday night and that’s where we stand on our local distancing rules. She was 98, cantankerous and still spry as a spring chicken. Family needs to gather and remember, it’s a healing for those involved. Her funeral will be next weekend, anybody and everybody that knew her is welcome to attend, her ashes will be spread on my pack-in line during season at a pond lunch stop, she always managed a few checks each season with me. Taught me a ton along the way too, depression era Dakota farm girl.

Do what you need to do, to remember and heal.

I am sorry for your loss and can relate to how you are feeling. I lost my brother a year ago this month and his wife in March of this year. My brother and I were tight and I can relate to what you are saying. Keep thinking those good thoughts about your hunting and fishing exposition with you cousin. Each time you think about them it will hurt a little less. Then one day you will drinking a cup of coffee, gazing out the window and you will start to think about him doing something silly like, like slipping on the ice and fall on his butt and you will smile. I have found those are the things that are the first break through. Take your time and morn, we all have to do it, and for some of us it is harder than for others. You will never be able to replace him in your heart or love him any less. What You're feeling doesn't mean you are weak or less of a man. Last year I lost 7 relatives and friends, this year so far 2 relatives and 1 friend. Yes it is hard... but only if you can think of the good times.

sorry for your loss , it always leaves a hole , I often wonder if by the time you make it to your natural end if there aren't so many holes it makes accepting your own end easier.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Lost a friend a year ago to a motorcycle wreck, he got hit by a mirror due to a driver crossing the center line while on his phone, was thinking about that today while driving by the spot it happened.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

We all have our own way and time to grieve. Just remember the good times.

So sorry for your loss.
Today would be my Dad's 78th birthday. He was killed in a car crash 05/01/01. Nearly 20 years past and hardly a single hour goes by that I don't think of him. I will be praying for you.
