Bereavement_in_Judaism

A good friend of mine died 1/3/06. I didn't find out about it 'til end of May. Long story short? Didn't "sit shiva" of sorts until 6/15 when I got the "crud" and was forced to.

Backing up, on Good Friday, another person died, completely unrelated to Brent Collins. I left a necklace w/the hebrew word for "life" (Chai) in a pair of pants. Charles washed it & one of the "legs" broke off of a letter.

All these things swirl around my head. I miss the friend who used to drive me around The Peninsula on 101, listening to Slayer & Metallica... I miss his Civic. I miss hitting Guitar Center and all those other places just to see guitars. Sheesh, my first model (slide scans, etc. to follow on flickr.com/photos/sarahnaomi

Brent somehow had his first and last seizure and just popped.

***Seizures are crazy things. G-d only gives us one head...***

A better "memorial" for Brent Collins to follow.
goodnight,
Sarah
