I knew both of these guys :-(

They lived less than 5 minutes walk from my house, Jack was a good guitarist too (when he was reasonably sober), he used to come to the jam session a friend of I ran at the local pub. His brother (also dead) pretty good at the piano. Can't imagine what his parents are going through :-( Never a good time to lose both your sons, but in the run up to Christmas it has to make it just that little bit harder.
My mother died on Christmas eve (in the late 90s) and when everyone else is out having a great time with family and you're being emotionally torn to shreds with grief just makes it hurt so much more :-( It has to be ten times worse losing both your sons.

from the 'no suspicious circumstances' quote from police, can't help wondering why/how it happened. suicide? drugs OD? carbon monoxide poisoning?
RIP
R.I.P
My mate's mother died over the weekend from cancer, there's a lot of gloom around at the moment.
interesting though, I bumped into a friends dad at work the other day, and he told me he'd just become a granddad, he was over the moon.. my friend's mum (and his wife) died when he was err 13.. I remember being in the next room and having to go to another mutual friends house as a distraction, with him.
happened to 3 of my friends and a girl at school they lost a parent at a really young age.
kids going before their parents, had that with 4 people.. 2 of them class mates (the same age as me, passed away in their late 30's).
they say never go to bed on an argument.
if it's your own kids, I think it's a case of solely existing, and if you have other kids a case of being strong for them also.
we get older, it will happen a lot more.. but thing is we will never know what to say, I don't think that ever changes.
there is no "scale" for grief , but I feel it's not as bad if the person had had a really long life also.
there was recent 4 deaths in holland linked to pills, and most of them being late 30's.. you think waste.
hopefully at least people have some good memories of ones they lost.
