This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, my best friend that I've known since I was 2, died. She was in a car with her boyfriend and two other friends when a drunk driver crashed into them, killing everyone. I was supposed to go with Kelsie, my best friend, but I'm not allowed to go to parties that she was coming home from. I feel guilty and so depressed shes gone. What do I do to get over my best friends death?! Thank you

There Really Isn't A Way To Get Over Your Friend's Death. Fill Your Head With All Those Good Times The Two Of You Had. Also, Try To Keep Yourself Busy With Other Things. Cleaning, Exercising, Being With Other Friends, Shtuff Like That. It Is Ok To Be Sad, Mad And Cry. Drunk Drivers Are The Most Deadliest Ways Of Dying ((Not To Make You Feel HORRIBLE)), It Has Been Statistially Prooven. DO NOT Take Any Of Your Depression Out On Yourself! Do NOT Start Cutting Yourself Or Anything!! It Doesn't Help! I Kno, Because I Have Been A Cutter For 2 Years Over My Grandfathers' Death, And It Hasn't Gotten Me Anywhere, And It Is A Pain In The Ass To Stop Doing, And I'm In The Process Of Stopping It.
Overall, Try To Keep Yourself Happy!
Your Friends Will Always Be There For You, Whether They Knew Your Friend Or Not.
If All Does Fails, Talk To Your Parents And Maybe Even Get A Counsler ((Ask Your Parents To Take You To One, They Can Really Help. Again, I Know Because I Am Seeing One For Multipule Reasons.))
Good Luck Hun!!
You Are Loved By Everyone Around You!
Never Forget It!!

I lost a friend about a year and a half ago, and from experience, you can't really just 'get over' it. Time is the only thing that'll really make it better, and it may take a while. But at the moment, try to keep yourself surrounded by friends .. you're all going through the same thing, and it helps a LOT to be around other people. You're probably not in school right now, so try to get people together and just .. be together. If you want, you can talk about memories, or just do nothing. Um, if you + your friends knew their family well and you think it's something they'd appreciate, you can write them letters .. and if you want, write her a letter .. you can just keep it or let it go in a balloon or something later on [[ it might sound dumb, but, i don't know, those are some things we did ]]. Just try to remember all of the fun things you did together. Oh, and make sure to spend some time by yourself, because I'm sure you'll need it. But it's pretty much time that heals everything .. if you feel like it'll help you, you can talk to a counselor, and I know there are support groups for people dealing with the same kind of thing, so if that's something you want to do, do some research and see what's available in your area. It's completely normal to be depressed about it for a while .. losing a friend is a terrible thing to have to go through.

Brandonsbabe1111 answered Sunday June 27 2004, 4:20 pm: I'm sorry to hear that. I know what it feels like to loose someone close, i just lost my older brother Mike. You should think about all the good times you had with your bff! not when you were fighting, now when she did something to really piss you the fuckk off and you wanted to punch her face in! also spend a lot of time with some other friends, i dont know about you.. but i dont like being with my family as much as i did before. and my friends keep my mind off of things and help me get over everything going on around me! you could also maybe see a therapist.. to get it all off your chest and get some real advice from a pro! well if you neeed to talk about anything else... need some more help my screen name is....

LilMia811 answered Sunday June 27 2004, 4:04 pm: Getting over a death of a very important loved one can be pretty hard. You will probably be sad for a long time, but you need to know that your friend is in a better place now and she is watching over you. She wouldn't want you to spend the rest of your life down and uot because she is gone. And she wouldn't want you to feel guilty, there was nothing that you could do about it. And don't think its not okay to think about the good old times because it is, even if it brings a tear in your eye it is still good. You have to be strong it may be hard but you will see you will get better with time. Good Luck! :)

I bet no one can replace Kelsie, but maybe you should meet new people or even see a phycatrist! They love helping you with such a major problem like this one! Youre in my prayers.. Good luck!
