Will i EVER get over this?
My best friend since 3rd grade (im in 10th now) passed away December 27th 2007 when she was thirteen.We were in a HUGE argument the biggest i've ever been in but we made up an hour before she died.I know that missing her isnt going to bring her back but that all i do.I've had family member that were really close to me die but it was kinda expected you know? this wasnt so i guess im in shock still. im sorry im venting all of this to you but theres nobody else i can talk to about it.I think im depressed but i dont know...
I remember the day we came back from christmas break i was sitting in class and she sat in front of me and everyone was staring at me and i just got up and started crying and left.
is there anything i can do to like forget about it?
she died in a car wreck and now im about to start driving and im just scared to because of what happened to her.i know its silly and i should be over it but i cant get over it!

It's totally normal to feel this way. You shouldn't be ashamed of it or angry, it's a normal way to grieve. It's a good thing you guys made up before she left this earth, though. I can't imagine if I never saw my best friend after a huge argument and never had the chance to tell her that I was sorry.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's really anything you can do but force yourself to drive, and after a while, you may see that life isn't full of death- that you can go on and live. What happened to your friend is truly tragic, but you've just got to go on with your life. After all, would your friend want you to be like this forever?
Try to remember all the good times you had with her, and respect them, not fear them.
Hang in there, sweetie.

Everything you're experiencing is normal and no, you won't ever forget what happened, but you have to learn to live with it. I know you must feel that if you forget about Lexi for a second, she will be gone, but it is okay for you to let go. Lexi will always be with you. She will be a part of everything you do. She loves you, misses you, too, and does not want you to live your life in fear and sadness. To honor Lexi, you have to live each day to the fullest, do wonderful things with your life. You really need to talk to someone, your parents, a friend, a counselor because keeping these feelings bottled up inside is preventing you from healing.
She was very pretty and looked like she was so much fun to hang out with. You're lucky you had the opportunity to know her. I wish I could have met her.

aw i am very sorry to hear this. This would be something hard to go through. It is very normal to miss her and very normal to be scared to drive.
You will never forget what happened but there is good news. You can see her again. And live forever hear on earth in a earthly paradise (without any sickness or death). Just read the bible and pray to God.
And about the driving situation. Just go and drive. You will have to eventually. It is a sad thing that happens but there are ways you can stop these accidents. They arnt really accidents they dont just happen and you in most cases CAN avoid them. By driving the speed limit and giving yourself space by staying four seconds behind another car.
AND ya ugh i hate it when people say those things like you are lieing about all this stuff. They should get a life.

im sorry .
my dad died of a drunk driver . so i feel your pain .
he died a year ago and im still not over it completely . there's not a day goes by that i don't miss him . yes, for a little while, i was scared to drive . but i moved on with my life knowing that it's all over and that's he's in a better place .
but if you wanna get over someone who has died, take one last remembrance & then throw everything you have of them away .
just let them go . & know that they are in a better place .
healing like this doesn't just happen over night .
it's a process, so just hang in there .
you might think of them every so often or see a place were you both used to hang out, and if you do, let it out, but just know everything is going to be okay .
also, connect with others who is going through the same thing as you .
you don't wanna be alone .
i do consider therapy, but the risks of it are still very extreme .
my therapist a few months ago prescribed some anti-depressants which only amplified my emotions .
just heal naturally and you'll get through it .

it's ABSOUTELY alright not to be over it, and to be scared to drive. don't think it isn't for a second. you have to have faith and trust in God that everything will be okay in the end of the day..and you have to learn from this experience, i highly doubt your friend wants you to live your life like this. remember her for all her virtues & her whole character, cherish the times you had together, and live life how she would have wanted to. i'm sure this journey is gonna be hard for you, the same thing happenned to a guy i knew who was 13, and died 2 weeks before his 8th grade graduationing year because he got hit by a drunk driver. don't give up hope, instead live optimisticly. and never ever think that it's wrong for you too be like this...it's 100% normal sweetie. talk to a close family member or friend about how you feel & don't be afraid to vent. it helps to get out all your trapped emotions, i'm sure you'll do great.god bless.♥

I don't think what you're feeling is silly.I do think it is normal.
When you lose a best friend that is VERY close to you it is a hard thing.
I don't think you will get over it,but I do think that you will be able to except it.
I would be very nervous to start driving,but maybe that experience will make you a great driver because you will remember to be careful.
I also know that since she was your best friend she would want you to start driving with confidence.
I hope this helps you,and you have a good day.

I was very depressed when my grandmother passed away and had a hard time doing a lot of things that would bring back the slightest memory of her. I found a support group at a local church that helped quite a bit with the depression, I can suggest finding some sort of support group or someone to talk to about this tragedy.
So sorry to hear this best of luck to you

At first, I thought this was just a generic, run-of-the-mill, teenage question. And, was more than willing to tell you to get the f*ck over it. Now, I know what the question truely was about, I feel like a real assh*ole. But, to answer your question: Yes, you will, time heals all. But, yourself in her shoes, if you were the one in the crash do you want her to dwell and be afraid or do you want her to move one a live her life? I'm sure she feels the same way. Never regret what you lost, always love what you have, but don't ever forget and from her unfortunate mistake.

its okay give it time and you will be fine.
its okay to feel depressed and cry, its okay to not want to drive or be scared. its expected that you be depressed, i'd be shocked if you weren't. you need to feel close to her again but you don't want to cry while doing it. you need to slowly over come this event and gradually you feel better and cope with the passing. the pain wont last forever but the memories will, don't block them out of you life learn to be happy when you think of her. remember the good times ad her laughing and its okay to cry!
its okay to vent it helps:)
try to be happy.
