i lost a dear friend a couple years ago at age 30. i know it's not the same but i do remember the suffocating feeling and the wanting to call her and she wasn't there anymore. wanting to share something with her and remembering i couldn't.
it really does get better with time. the only thing that helped me was to realign my ideas about the whole thing and learn to stop thinking about how unfair it was and start to look at it as, i didn't have to meet her to begin with but i did and i'm damn glad to share the time i got to.
i know that doesn't mean a damn thing right now but maybe in 6 months you can look back on this and it will. I lost a dear friend several years back and couldn't stop questioning why someone with such a promising future would have their life snuffed out so soon. No matter how I tried to rest my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Time and talking about it really does help. Or it did me. It was when a bud of mine and I were talking one day that he made a comment that finally brought peace. He knew I had been struggling for a while and he told me, "In the day/age we're living in, God is surrounding himself with good people." Maybe it will help you.

I am very sorry for your lose. I know what you are going through as I lost a good friend in a freak wreak by Medicine Lake in 1999. She was 22. There isn't a day go by That I don't think of her, this just brought back a flood of memories for me. I feel your pain, we sometimes don't understand why they happen like this but we must live our life's without them.

Colton,
I see out my window that it is a beautiful Sunday morning, to remind us of God's love, in spite of the terrible things that happen on this earth.
Because you let your Campfire friends know of your troubles, concern for you and your families has rippled out in an ever widening circle. This morning hundreds, probably thousands, of people that you have never met in person, are saying prayers for you. Don't doubt the power of prayer.
When I was your age I didn't know what to believe. I am sure your whole belief system is shaken right now as it never has been before.
Please have trust and faith that if He brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
You may be able to actually feel all the prayers being sent up for you today, as so many believers ask God to wrap his love around you, but if not, still know that they are praying for you, and that God does love you.
In relation to time and the cosmos, our lifetime on this earth, no matter how long we live, is the mere blink of an eye. Know that you and Megan will be together in Heaven someday. She and others that go before you will have prepared a place for you. Know that the love you feel for Megan is just a preview of the love you will be surrounded with when you arrive in God's presence, and once again get to be with Megan, and family members and friends.
Now, do your best to carry on as Megan would want you to. She wants you to be happy and fulfilled. When you don't know what to do, ask God and Megan, because they are together now. Because you know Megan's voice, God will speak to you through her, if you are willing to listen and believe.
Now is a time to grieve. Just know that we love you, Colton, and in the weeks ahead you will be able to re-read these messages and I hope you will continue to feel support from those of us who feel we know you now more than ever before.
God Bless You today, and through the days ahead.
Milo
An old fart, and one of the friends that you have never met.
I am stuck inside, recovering from back surgery, spending time on the computer to distract me from pain and medications, but improving each day. I am dreaming of my next trip to the range in a few weeks and trying to pass the time without driving my poor wife crazy. I hope I am an encouragement to you, and if so, it is the best thing I have accomplished in a while.
