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.

I know when you kiss , you do what you feel is comfortable , but what do you think is the most romantic way to start or finish a kiss? THANKS




Kisses are romantic depending on the situation. Things such as kissing in the rain is going to be much more romantic than a normal kiss. Just go with the flow and do what feels right. Depending on who it is and where you are how romantic it is will change. xoxo kerra

i cant tell you how sorry i am for your loss. i can only imagine the struggles you're going through. but dont feel guilty for this, none of this happened because of you. i will be praying for you, your family, and your friends family to have the strength to get through this obstacle. i know you will be alright. God bless Smile

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
