How do I get over the sudden death of one of my best friends?

Question

Last September, one of my best friends was killed in a car accident. I still think about her everyday, and how I never got the chance to say goodbye. The last memory I have of her now is her laying in the coffin, battered and bruised. I miss her so much. Friday would have been her 27th birthday, and the anniversary of her death is coming up on September 6th. I know she is in a better place, but it has been a year and I still cry almost every day. Please help!

Answer 1

u dont always have 2 get over someones death

Answer 2

I'm sorry for you loss.  Sometimes time will help but other times nothing does.  My husband lost his brother(his best friend) 6 years ago and still gets very depressed when he thinks about him.  He said it helps when he remembers the great times they had together, but then he gets sad again. me and our girls never met him and so my husband is sad about that too.  He knows his brother is in heaven and that his death was what helped my husband to dedicate his life to the Lord, but it hurts him a lot.  He said he had nightmares for months over and over everynight after his brother died. He just had to trust in the Lord to help him and give him peace and he knows that he will see him again one day, but I don't think it will ever ease the pain of the loss.  You just hang in there and ask the Lord to give you peace and comfort, that is really all you can do.  Again, I'm sorry and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Answer 3

If a friend mentions it, then talk about the good times you andd your friend had. It's alright to feel emotional.

In a situation like this, only time can heal you, even though it has been over a year now.
