My mom just called me.

My very best friend that I've had for nearly 20 years just lost her husband on Saturday.

I've only met the guy once face to face, but I've spent a good many years of him calling me "Mouth" when I was talking to my best friend on the phone (of course before I ever actually met him).

They were up in the mountains by mine and my bet friend's hometown and he fell off of a 100 ft cliff and snapped his neck.

They have a little boy together who's like 4 in addition to her oldest son who's in like 2nd or 3rd grade now.

And of course I can't get in touch with her, even though I have her number. I've called, sent text messages, even found her on Facebook (which I didn't want anyone to know that I have) and sent her a message there, but so far nothing.

IDK.. This is so bizarre and so weird to me. I just can't believe it. I wasn't close to him, but my best friend and I have -always- been super close, regardless of how much time goes by that we don't talk.

    Keep trying, sweetie. I can't imagine what she's feeling, but I can tell you it's not pretty. She needs you more than she knows.

    My condolences to her and her boys, family and friends alike.

    I've been trying all day long. I've called, texted, harrassed her on FB.. Nothing.

    It's just completely shocking. And she lives like 4 / 5 hours away from me, so it's not like I can just go over there or anything.

    IDK. This just sucks a lot. I can't imagine how heartbroken she is, and it makes -me- feel bad that I can't get in touch with her to save my life.

    Also: Thanks much. It really means a lot.

    Do you know anyone in the area that could visit her then? Even if its for your own peace of mind really.

    Everyone that -I- know personally is also her family. My best friend and I have always called each other's moms "mom". And aside from my best friend and her mom, I'm not particularly close to anyone else in her family even though I've known them all as long as I've known my best friend (it's a long story)...

    And I mean, I'm not going to hound her. I've added her on FB & she accepted and she has my number. I've tried calling and IMing her on FB, but I'm not going to crowd her like I know everyone else probably is. We've been best friends for almost 20 years, so she knows I'm here when she needs me. It doesn't matter how much time goes by without us speaking - when we -do- get back in touch, it's like no time has gone by at all and we act like 12 year olds again, laughing over stupid sh*t.

    I've been really tempted to post a rap song on her wall that we used to listen to non-stop, 'cuz she'd be the only one to get all of the meaning behind it.. Or well her and probably her older brother, but yeah. I just figure it'd be really insensitive of me to do. I'm not good at stuff like this. I know that if I were to lose someone this close to me, I'd rather just be left alone. I don't know what she needs or wants and I've only seen her 1 time in the last like ... God.. 8 years.

    It's just really difficult in general.
