1. "True friends are the ones who never leave your heart, even if they leave your life for a while. Even after years apart, you pick up with them right where you left off, and even if they die they're never dead in your heart."~Unknown

When you lose someone that you know and love dearly it doesn't mean that your friendship with them is over. Even though they have left the earth you will always have those memories of them that will put a smile on your face.

2. "Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same."~Flavia Weedn

I am a very strong believer of that people are put on this planet for a certain reason. Friends are put on this planet for the good and for the bad. They impact us in ways that we are forever thankful for no matter how soon they are taken from us and that is comforting.

3. "While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil." ~John Taylor

Even though your friends is physically not on earth anymore doesn't mean that he is forever gone. The thought of your friend being reunited with loved ones that they lost and doing all the things they love in the afterlife is more comforting than words can explain.

4. "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do." ~Eleanor Roosevelt

With every tragedy that strikes a person, they become stronger. As much as it seems that nothing will ever get better, it does and it will. No matter how hard it seems in the moment, you will get through this because are stronger than you know.

5. "No matter what your heartache may be, laughing helps you forget it for a few seconds."~Red Skelton

When you lose a friend the most important thing to know is that you aren't alone. Losing a friend is heartbreaking but it is so comforting to remember all the good times that you had with the person to make me feel better, Get together with mutual friends that knew your friend who passed also and share all the memories that you had with that person so you can remember the good times not the bad times.
