We all fall one by one.

So last week a very close friend of mine passed away...
when he was on the streets he was using heroin...
i then worked my hardest with him to get him out of it, he was so much better then that..when kay and i went travelling we emailed him everyday to make sure he was alright, when we got back he had done so well... cleaned up his life..got himself a place, got off the drugs...was getting in touch with his native routes...and like, looking for a job... he was one of my best friends and i was never prouder of someone... the past couple weeks i had seen him he said he was really happy.. he had moved into his moms house, and starting to have a good relationship with her... apparently she had gone to work, and he used... and it stopped his heart..last monday...
i just found out, and caught the end of his memorial..
and im not sure exacly how to feel...
ive spent the last few days mourning, contemplating... crying...
and then accepting...

i know hes gone, and i know it hurts..
and i try to think that all my friends who have passed are in a better place and that it had to happen or something because if there was a god it was gods plan.. i guess...
but this just doesnt make sense to me..
its not fair,

because i feel if he was on the streets and this happened...
someone could have saved him like the other 2 times his heart had stopped...
and so now i feel guilty..
and i just dont know how to try and make light of the situation of justify it...

were dropping off like flies...

don't for a second feel that you had anything to do with his passing. you worried about him, cared for him, were a friend for him. who's to say that if you had let him stay on the streets, he wouldn't have died weeks ago?

you tried your hardest to be a good friend, to help him. but there's only so much that you can do. he's got to meet you halfway. from what you wrote, it sounded like he was trying. you said he was happy, looking forward to a new start. you were helping him get to a better place.

but he slipped up, made a mistake. a dear one that cost him his life.

feel sad. miss him. but synth - it's not your fault.
