[QUOTE="Sooth, post: 1242617, member: 8937"] Terrible news. Sorry for your loss. One of my work mates lost his best friend and room mate in similar circumstances. They had been partying the night before which was not unusual and his room mate got very drunk which again was not unusual. My friend went to bed early because he had work the next day. In the morning he got up, stepped over his friend on the floor assuming he was hungover / asleep and went to work as normal. On returning his friend was in the same position. My buddy was accused by the family of allowing this to happen, saying he should have done more etc, but the reality was everyone had tried to help him. There is a process of grieving and coming to terms with the situation but you must realise that it's not your fault. What you mustn't do is let this be an excuse to fall into a "woe is me" mindset, at least not for a prolonged period. [/QUOTE]
