When Your Hear Your Former Classmate Died, How Would You Feel

My husband and I are in our 70's yes, we have lost classmates but you expect that at our age. its never easy to hear, but I know how you feel. if we could only be young forever...

That is sad but we all have our time to go. All you can do now is to remember your classmate fondly.

Well you still have some highschool friends who are still alive. You can still communicate with them if you will find them in social networks. All of my former classmates of mine are facebook friends. If it is a friend, I will be sad because I never get to thank that person for making highschool enjoyable for me. If it's a bully I will be sad because.....I never get to punch his face and now it is too late. (sorry for the joke)

I guess its painful. I have had a colleague at work pass on, he met with a terrible accident on the way to work. I will never forget that day. He was the same age as I.

It really is sad when you hear news like that. I remember feeling like you when I heard about one of our classmates. I am so sorry for your loss.

I would be really sad. I have not been in contact with any of mine for years. If I had found out one of my closest friends had passed away I would definitely be quite sad.

That is very sad and I'm sorry for your loss as our classmates are like a second family.

It's sad! Such incidents leave a deep scare in mind!

That is really sad when that happens. You can not help to think that person was the same age as you.

I've lost a few classmates, both from high school and college. I've also lost some favorite teachers. It always makes me sad. When it's someone I really liked, I try to carry bits of them forward in my own personality.

Its very bad feeling and sad thing because our first ever relationship is friendship and what ever say classmate or childhood friends cant forgatable so we feel too much sad....

I haven't seen most of my classmates in 41 years as our paths have not crossed but when I hear of one passing it does bring memories

If he/she was my enemy in school, I don't care. Haha bad me.

Whenver i hear aboutdeath of anyone i think about him/ her whole day. I disturbbed totally. I cant handle my self easily may that person close to me or not.

Unfortunately the age does not matter, even young people can die. I still remember when I lost one of my classmate, she was only 6 years old, killed by a car.

When you hear about people the same age as you dying, it makes you think - 'could have been me', doesn't it? Sorry about your friend.

Sorry to hear that ma'am :(

I am sorry for your loss. It is a shock when we lose people at a young age.

My memories go back to the good times I had with them, it is indeed sad news - siva .

I'm so sorry for your sudden loss. I would be really sad too.
