Answer 1

Yes she's going to be distraught and you have to let her work some of it out on her own.  If she's showing too many signs of trouble, get her some help.  Some kids will just bottle it inside until it eats them alive and some will start to act out from the guilt (especially if the friend was hurt).  Yes, it would be good for her to go back to school - normalcy is what she'll need in the coming months.  Try to spare her the gory details as much as possible, though.

Answer 2

Lot's and lots of therapy. Get her good councelling and just take it one day at a time

Answer 3

That would be an awlful idea cause then she would be afraid of being in cars.
