Good Markha - I empathize with your sense of loss. As other members here have pointed out with great sagacity, one never "gets over" these tragic deaths. Keep your friends in your heart and your thoughts - it is they who will comfort you the most. Remember the good times. Hoist a glass to their honor. Time will heal your pain but it will never erase your precious memories!
Mr. Magee wrote this when he was nineteen - the same year he was killed in an air accident:
High Flight
- John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
