Guitar Gear Forum

Told you guys last vent post, used to run with a crew of 50. We were close, and one of my best friends named his first kid after me and made me his godfather. I taught this kid to swim, taught him to drive, to play guitar, to deal respectfully with women.

Been friends with this guy almost 30 years, love his wife to death, his kids are my kids, take vacations to see them and them to see us.

Got a text half an hour ago from his wife, my godson killed himself. I don't know what to say to them, I don't know how to talk to myself. I should have seen this coming, I was his closest outlet besides his parents and friends. None of them ever thought this would happen, neither would I.

fuck

Wow terrible news, my condolences

Try to not beat "yourself up" and Stay strong and be there for loved ones and family

Shit mate, you're having a really shitty time lately, sympathy/mojo dude.

Oh man. That’s awful, bro. This hits me hard because I just baptized my baby 6 days ago. Let me know if you need to talk. You and his family are in my prayers. I sent you something, btw. Don’t bother paying me for it, man.

Holey shit, Scott - terrible news. Praying for you and your friends

Damn dude, condolences. Very sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself.

Already paid you brother, thanks.

I appreciate all you guys, thanks.

Rough shit, I really appreciate being able to vent, thanks fellas.

Was talking to my daughter, who's had like 5 friends kill themselves in the last 4 months.

Don't they get it's all temporary, none of this shit lasts forever?! I've had rough times, thought about it, what gets me thru is the fact that it's not gonna last. I don't get why these kids don't get that....

Jesus that is terrible news . So very sorry to hear . Young folks these days gotta get back to the garden to Quote Joni .

Very sorry

Gene is good people

Still holding you in my thoughts, Scott. This sucks something fierce.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

really sorry, no words.....................

Damn Stei... Just, damn.

My heart goes out to you and your friends' fam, Scott. That's just terrible news.

God man, this is horrible. Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be said or done that will ease your and his family's pain right at this moment. Only time will do, but never completely.
Even still, stay close to your friends now, even if you don't know what to say to them. Don't worry about having the right things to say right now, or even having anything at all to say. That's an insurmountable amount of pressure. Just be present around them. It's important to be surrounded by loved ones in situations like this.

There are no words that will help your grief or, the grief the parents are feeling.
My sincerest prayers.

Damn, man. So sorry. Nothing can adequately express what I wish I could put into words other than that. Sorry.

I have no words, Scott, save that I'm sorry. This is awful.

This is horrific. I’m so sorry to hear this brother.

Appreciate you guys man, a lot. A LOT. It's nice to have friends that don't live in my world, but still care. Thanks guys. Getting on a plane.

Dude I dont know what to tell you, i can't imagine going through these events happening to you recently. I hope you get to spend some time with your godson's close ones.. Keep open comms with your woman, they know us more than we do.

Not so sure how I missed this but so sorry for your loss, Stein. Terrible situation.
