Does Anybody Know Any Inspirational Quotes Involving Losing a Best Friend?

My younger brother's friend just had a really bad seizure a few days ago at a wrestling practice. And his friend also passed away that day :( my brother was in the room when his friend was having the bad seizure attack and saw him suffer. Now he's been really depressed and can't get that bad memory out of his mind. Does anybody know any uplifting quotes or anything else I could say to him to help him and give him encouragement? I really don't want him to lose all faith and hope.

Suggestion:

I would say to those who mourn… look upon each day that comes as a challenge, as a test of courage. The pain will come in waves, some days worse than others, for no apparent reason. Accept the pain. Do not suppress it. Never attempt to hide grief.
Daphne du Maurier

There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.
Unknown

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.
Jan Glidewell

I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me, but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.
Rita Mae Brown

The greatest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude.
Thornton Wilder

Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead, he is just – away.
James Whitcomb Riley

“Thanks for the adventure. Now go have a new one!"
