Sorry to hear about your loss, it can't be easy especially since he died a sudden death. Unfortunately, I don't believe the saying that"time heals all & you'll get over it eventually" because it is not true.
Time will help you live with the sad truth, but there will always be those sad moments when you remember the good times you had with him. To help you deal with the death, you might need some counselling, talk to friends/family dont keep things inside. Be thankful that you at least had the pleasure of knowing someone like him, other people go through life without real friends. Sad truth is that we all have to die some time, thats the way of life. Sorry to be to blunt.

There is no way to deal with it, a devastating loss can only heal with time, and that time varies, most people will carry the pain of a loss for the rest of their lives, the only thing you can do is not let it take over your life and remember them as they would have wanted, the good times and not the bad

Everybody is different when dealing with death. The fact that it was an accident raises questions. I have lost somebody very close to me, she was my best friend, my mother.
I cope day to day with the loss the best way i can. Ive got children so they keep my mind busy.
I dont envy anyone that has gone through that experience and would say although very hard the best way to start recovery is to talk about it.
I am sorry for your loss and hope that these words help.

Sorry to hear that. My dad died suddenly 2 years ago and at first I couldnt do much of anything. After the funeral and things dying down a little, my family and I focused on keeping his spirit alive. Focus on the great things about your friend and let everyone know how great he was.
Good Luck.

First of all, Sorry for your loss.
Things like this are never easy, never.
There is no rules on how to deal with the death of a loved one. Do what comes to you. Cry, laugh, talk, be by yourself, be with others, do something for his family.
You can get books on this if you need that sort of starting point.
You have others that are here for you.
one day at a time.

Grief is so overwhelming and it is only time that heals focus on the good things and perhaps consider planting a tree in his honor a place to sit and remember the nice times...

My deep Condolences. Just keep talking to your friend, he will answer back, and you know he has not gone anywhere only u could not see him. He can see you all the while. Dont mourn too much for it hurts the soul which leaves and You are creating a Barrier for him to go to God. So Just keep talking to him he will surely reply back.
