1 Answer

Answer :

You don’t do anything. You are grieving. You are hurting right now. Can you connect in with some of your mutual friends? Spend some time with other people? Talking to your parents might help too. What you are feeling is normal though. You are in pain. I do think it is important not to bottle up your feelings though. I am sorry for your loss. It is very sad to hear of the death of a young person.
