Devastated R.I.P.

Dutch Toffee · August 23, 2008

Yesterday, I once again found out the relevate meaning of Football. After coming back from an away game with Fortuna Sittard, we got a phonecall that a car, with three Fortuna supporters crashed on their way back from Rotterdam. A mate of mine, who was inside that car, died later on that evening.

He´s been with me a couple of times on my travels to england to watch Everton and would travel with me to the Goodison derby on the 26th of September. Don´t know what to do with my feelings, as it´s hurting so much.

mate i'm really sorry for your loss, i can barely imagine what you must be going through.

all i can say is try to keep in mind that he's in a better place now.

Dutch. I truly do not have words that could even come close to easing your pain, but myself like many others will be here for you in whatever capacity I can offer.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I have experienced it myself and all words will seem hollow at the moment.

I offer myself as a friend and an option to air your emotions to if it may be of any use. PM me if you need to.

I've had relatives die when i was young (12years old maybe younger) and didnt really know what it meant... i'm only 20 and 2 years ago one of my best friends decided to kill himself,it's a really odd feeling to lose someone so close, for a long time you find yourself thinking, what if this, what if that?

i carried this lads coffin at his funeral, when i was 18 years old!!! something i never want to do again although its inevitable.

it may sound ignorant to many, but i found that the best way to deal with such a situation, is to celebrate the life they had rather than the life they haven't (y)

Dutch, really sorry to hear of your loss, it's not just the loss you have to deal with but the shock of things happening so quickly. There are people who understand what you're going through so don't be afraid to lean on those people when you need to. Sometimes it's easier to open up when no one can see your tears.

Words will sound hollow now but I truly believe that the greatest tribute we can pay to friends and loved ones who we've lost is to live your life to the full

Thinking of you in this hardest of times

Really sorry for your loss Dutch. Never easy to loose a loved one or a really close friend.

Neiler · August 23, 2008

Deepest sympathies mate, our thoughts are with you and those closest to your friend. R.I.P.

Thank you all very much for your words of encouragement, really appreciated. Thing that probably hurts me the most, is the fact that he shouldn't even been in that car. Normally he always travels by coach, just as me. You can have a nice relaxed journey and drink a few pints. He booked his seat on this coach too, but as he started at a new job a couple of weeks ago, couldn't make it in time. Called another mate to pick him up. Luckily the other two escaped with minor injuries.
