How can I deal with the death of a friend?

Question

I Am 13 and my best friend died. I already had to deal with the fact that he was moving this summer, and we were planning visits.

He died two weeks ago, but nobody told me until today. I was texting my one friend(also a friend of the guy who passed) and I asked him if the friend moved yet. and he called me, saying he died two weeks ago, in a terrible car accident, then he emailed me an article about it. I just can't stop crying. He was one of my only two friends that I have. He was the first friend I could honestly say I loved. This just doesn't seem real.

Everybody knew about this except me, and before he died, he often said that I was the best friend he had that was a girl.

I am so angry nobody told me sooner, and so sad my friend is gone. I just keep getting flashbacks of the last day of school when we hugged and he said he loved me so much, and he will miss me so much.

Please. How do I deal with this?

Answer 5

If I were there with you I would gladly give you a hug and my shoulder to cry on. Sadly I'm not though so I am going to do my best to give you some advice and I hope it will comfort you. First off I am so sorry about this. Death can be a very difficult and tragic thing to cope with. I lost my dog who was almost 14 years old about a month ago due to diabetes and old age. Your grieving is a very important part of feeling better about the situation no matter how unbelievable it could be and how much you just want to run away. Keep the memories of the good times you had together in your heart. That may sound like bland advice but when my grandmother died I listened to music I know she loved like Celine Dion and I get the warmest feelings in my heart because I know that she is alive with the Lord in Heaven and is free from all pain just like your friend. You may not be very religious like me but it is important to keep thoughts alive such as knowing that through time you will see him again and remember that everything and everyone dies. Our Sun will die, our galaxy will die, and all 9 billion people on the Earth up to this point will die. Nothing can last forever it is the laws of nature that everything that is born must also die.

Answer 6
