Death of good friend's mother
| Sat, 08-21-2004 - 10:13pm |
I'm having a really bad night. I just read in the newspaper that the mother of one of my best friends from high school died. She was only 53, and I think that it was pretty sudden. I don't know what happened, like if there was an accident or what. To my knowledge, she wasn't sick. My friend probably would have mentioned it to me because we keep in pretty regular contact even though I'm in college now. She told me when her dad had a stroke, so I can't imagine why she wouldn't tell me if her mother was sick. She's a pretty open person. Anyway, I'm sorry that I am rambling. I'm just so upset. I really liked her mother. She was a great lady. I spent a lot of time at her house during middle school and high school. I'm going to the funeral tomorrow and I don't know how I am going to deal with it. Being there for my friend is the most important thing, but I just feel so unstable lately. I'm afraid that I'm going to cry or have a panic attack in front of everyone. Does anyone have any tips for coping for me?

Hey Stardoll,
I am sorry for your loss and I wish I could give you a big hug and go to the funeral with you. Wanting to be there for your friend is awesome, but please also take care of yourself. Can you take someone with you like your Mom or Dad to support you? I assume they knew your friend's Mom? Otherwise I am not sure what to suggest. Please do check in tomorrow though and let us know how you are doing.
Love & hugs, Kristina
