[QUOTE="exskibum, post: 1163339, member: 383"] First, my condolences to you and your surviving friend. That is terrible - both the loss and any sense of having been responsible. FWIW, I don't think I'd say anything about motorcycles to the husband at first when you reach out to him about this tragedy. The loss is terrible regardless the mechanism or feelings about blame or guilt. I'd simply express my sincere concern for him, empathy for his loss and offer to be there to talk about anything he wants whenever he feels the need. About the obvious when it comes up, I'd probably just tell him something like: "you know I ride, and if that is ever a part of what you need to talk about, I'll be there for you on that, too. I'll do my best to be whatever you need in that, without judgment, hoping you find peace in whatever you think is best." [/QUOTE]
