My best friend died

Check these out, too...

My best friend died. Her brother was high and crashed as he was driving her to my house from her job. She lapsed in and out of a coma for a week and then died. I feel sad and guilty.

Dear In Mourning,

What a terrible tragedy. I am so sorry for you and her whole family. It’s no wonder you feel awful in a million ways. But please don’t feel guilty – no doubt her brother feels guilty enough. (He never should have driven under the influence, yet I feel for him, too – his horror will last a lifetime). You may want to tell her grieving parents how much you loved her or write a letter about what she meant to you. You could also make a scrapbook about your friendship and give them a color copy. Time doesn’t heal, but it helps. Though you’ll never forget your friend, little by little your grief will lift.

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

ohmigosh. my heart just sank. omg. i'm so sorry. i know you feel horrible, but it's not you're fault. and don't think of you're friend "dead", because she is alive in her own perfect world, looking down on you, pertecting you. girly, i'm so so so sorry for you're loss. you're in my prayers.
