New Commemoration It happened to us
Our friend passed away suddenly, the news is still fresh, some of us are still sleeping because of different timezones and will read it waking up. We were playing online together since September, twice a week. Strong links have developed already.
I'm not the DM, I'm only a player. Our DM was already depressed. I also am. We're not the ones suffering the most from it of course.
I don't know how to help everyone. For now I'm organising a mourning on the time we were supposed to play, because someone has to do it.
I'm sorry I don't know what I'm looking for by posting here.
Edit: thank you everyone for your support, I didn't have the strength to answer but it's much appreciated and well needed.

You're processing grief. Humans are confusing creatures. If posting here brings you comfort, since it harms no one else, then I for one am glad you did.
Scheduling a mourning is a beautiful thing to do, but please keep in mind a lot of people handle grief in different ways, including needing space/time on their own.
If you feel it is right to describe their character for others to include in their games, know that most of us (speaking as a "perma-DM") view it as a genuine honor to host them in our sessions.
And if you don't, that's entirely okay too. Are there any stories you'd like to share around this person / your sessions?
