It hurts a lot but I'm not sure I have grasped the reality that I will never seem again in this lifetime. I'm Heartbroken but I more numb than hysterical right now. I don't know if that's normal or if it's ok. I'm worried about my other friends right now because it's tough on them.
I'm mad myself wondering what I could have done differently?
All I know is this sucks; I'm sorry I guess really don't have a point just a dude in pain rambling on.

This sounds like a suicide.  If it was you need to reach out to his closest family members and friends.  They, like you, will be dealing with all sorts of questions about responsibility.  Some of them may be having big problems.

All deaths are difficult to deal with, but there are more likely to be guilt issues with suicides that really hurt a spouse or close loved one.
