UPDATED Sorry, need to share something

I'm sorry. I don't want to be a drama queen or a pity whore. But a friend died unexpectedly over night. I'm so shaken by this. We still don't know what happened, we just know he quit breathing. I'm in shock. I'm so sad for his family. I'm sorry, I just needed to share this with someone. Please remember to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Especially during the holidays. There seem to be so many tragic losses around this time of year. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I didn't know who else to talk to right now.
UPDATE: they said it was a heart attack. He's too young for this. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
TTC with PCOS since November 2009
IUI#1 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP, m/c
