Death happens because it's natural, I'm afraid.
It can be difficult to deal with, especially in an accident.
What I've found helps is grieving. Don't be shy to cry, talk to other people, try and let it all out. There must be many other people grieving your friend.
Time is the healer. Eventually you will look back with fondness on the memories.
Hope this helps.

Everyone dies at some point. Why it happens at any given time is a mystery.
I had a friend who died in an accident the night before the first day of her senior year in high school. That doesn't seam fair.
People deal with death in different ways. Deaths of people close to me have made me appreciate life more and to treat the people around me with more respect, because you never know.
Loved one's deaths made me feel more appreciative of my life and the lives of others. But it didn't come without cost.

First, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Unfortunately, there is no cut and dry method to deal with death, be it sudden or expected. Everyone has to find their own way to work through it, but never feel ashamed or embarassed over what feels right to you. Some might find it creepy and disturbing that I wanted to read the coroners report when one of my dearest friends died in a car crash - I was comforted knowing without a doubt that she died instantly and didn't suffer.
Talk to others who knew your friend as well. If that isn't an option (or they don't wish to talk), don't be afraid to talk to a professional councelor. There is no shame in what you are going through; we all have been there, even if our circumstances are not the same as yours.

First of all, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Death is probably the largest obstacle in our lives. Every living organism dies, it's just a natural cycle. Some insects only live for a day or so. I guess if we lived forever, the world sure would be a crowded place. It's just the way God planned it. Maybe this life is just the first step in a series of lives. Who knows. But however it may work, I think we can all agree on one thing.... the hope of seeing everyone again!

Death happens to all of us, it is inevitable. When it is a sudden death it is harder to deal with as we feel we haven't said all we wanted to say to the person. You have to think of that person not having to struggle with life an more, and peaceful and at rest. If you are a religious person, then you will know that that person is in a better place and is very happy.
it's unfortunate that some people die much sooner than others, and there seems no explanation for it. There are two things sure in life: death and taxes!

You have my sympathy, I have just lost someone close to me, but we were expecting her death. It's difficult, you are dealing with Shock, grief, all at the same time, talk to friends about it, find help and support from your family and friends. Don't be afraid to cry.
Death is a thing that eventually happens to us all, unfortunately some are taken away far too early, we can't prevent death some times we can prepare ourselves for it, but in you cause it's quick and sudden, unexpected, it's more difficult to cope with, if you cant get support from family or friends see a bereavement councilor. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
(Sometimes it can take up to two years for you to complete you grieving process, so don't worry, some take even longer.)

It is good that you cared so much about your friend, and now is a time that you can look back and remember all the good times the two of you had together. Also, this is a good time to reflect on your life, and see if there's anything you want to work on or fix. God will be with you in this time, he will help you through. Your friend had a purpose and I think that when you die, your purpose is fulfilled. Sometimes, a person's death helps others to see pieces of their life that they need to change or that they can be thankful for. I hope you will be okay, and I'm sure that you have friends who will help you through this time. God bless.

It's the hardest thing to deal with, and nobody can tell you how.
Birth is nothing but the beginning of our death - we ALL have to die at some point.
I have a friend who lost his mother about six months ago, and he's STILL struggling to cope with it.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

well it's tru, death comes to us all in what ever means.
but if you look at the big picture, well life as we knopw it is nothing but a temprory stop, and you'll get to see your loved ones sonner or later.
just think of all the horiffic things happening in the world, your freind is now resting in peace and wount have to go through it all.
it's just how life works and how god intended it to be...
lifes bodly pain in death is a simple price compared to the peace one gets after death, for the soul lives on and thats what really matters.

Death is unavoidable and comes to everyone. Iknow a friend whose mother died at the age of eight.
