Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't grieving correctly or "properly". Everybody grieves differently and there is no right or wrong way. You need to do what you need to do - as long as it doesn't prevent you from living your life in a healthy way. I lost my best friend when I was eleven - I am now in my mid-twenties. I think about her all the time still - I don't cry, but she still passes through my thoughts. I'm not sure how old you are, but if you are young don't let anyone tell you to just get over it when you are older. I never really talk about her, but I have observed that people think when you are an adult you shouldn't grieve anymore over childhood losses. Sorry - it doesn't work that way. You need to take as much time as it takes. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. There is no easy way to cope with death.
Remember all the good times, think about she/he would say if this or that happened. Know she/he is still around you even though you can't see her/him. Write a letter to her /him and write down all your feelings, something like a day by day diary from the day you two became best friends. Writing to her/him will make you feel so good.
Pray. Lots of praying helps also. My prayers are with you all.

Everyone deals with a death of a loved one differently. But the thing that I don't understand that people do is try to rush the grieving process of the one who lost. Don't, don't, don't, don't rush your grieving process. Take as long as you need to to mourn. It's OK. I'm not saying to go into hiding, skip work, school, and ignore everyone else in your life for the next year, but reserve certain times where it's just you reflecting on the memories of your friend. Whatever it is that helps you grieve. You will go through different stages of grief. You will go through the shock, then sadness and hurt, then there will be bouts of anger, then questioning, and perhaps some depression. It's ok to go through those things as they will help you deal with the loss and eventually be at peace. Another good thing to do is to surround yourself with supportive people who love you. That will be the best thing you could do for yourself. Good luck to you and I'm sorry for your loss.

i'm so sorry to your loss. Whoever stated decrease your self is a moron. do no longer pay attention to that. you're grieving on the 2d and that's favourite. at last, the discomfort will ease with time, and you will create a definite place on your heart for her. issues would be ok. a good element to do could be to bypass and talk with a counselor to vent your emotions, and to talk to acquaintances and kinfolk as much as you may desire to. Having a help device of persons you care approximately could properly be very efficient. you may additionally attempt calling this variety, it rather is a loose hotline for persons coping with confusing issues alongside with death and bereavement: (a million-800 372-talk). good success and undergo in thoughts which you're no longer on my own!

I had one of my best friends die from Meningitis it was really hard to deal with at first but I just did not forget the good times we had together. Visit your friend often it will be hard at first but it will get easier. Make sure you talk to your friend tell your friend how it feels. It might make things easier if you know they know how you feel talk to your friends grave or a picture of them. You should try to keep your friend close at heart...I'm sorry for your loss..I hope you find peace with this soon.

ok i had i friend die just a month ago his brother was playing with his new gun and you can figure out the rest but people told me to let go and i just can't but it is ok to cry sometimes it would be really helpful if you talk to your other friends about it and make a place that you could go to and write all of your feeling that you are feeling now on a piece of paper well i hope you feel better

Actually your's is a much easier way...But for me I'd probably cry, go to the cemetary walk and think about the good times I had had with that person...thank them for being my friend.
Try watching a friend die slowly from the effects of Aids...I've done it twice...

Death is so hard when we are the ones left here because we miss them!!! Just know they went to a better place and no longer have to struggle with this life..sad i know, try writing a letter if things were left unsaid or to let them know whatever u want to say about this.
