Only the second sentence sounds wrong. Check the tenses! Actually, Iuui's suggestion is the best and most natural, but it expresses a future possibility.

The first sentence means it is too painful to imagine loosing your friend. The second sentence is incorrect. The last sentence means you already lost a friend in the past and it was too painful to think about.
