    Plenty of prayers for Misty, and the advice is do NOT tell her about the deaths.

    She needs to hear positive things and needs positive re-enforcement.

    Hey there. #1: Sorry about your friend. You need to support her anyway you can. Send little happy notes to her, tell her she'll be okay. Second, don't tell her anything that might make her think that she won't make it. I know a girl who had something like cancer. Everyone in my class sent her funny little cards and gifts so she'd feel better. We're best friends now, and just the little things can help. Pray for her, ask others to pray for her, and keep telling her everything is alright. Good luck, God Bless, and Don't worry. : )

    Many thoughts and prayers to your friend , I agree with everyone else just let her know that you are there for her no matter what and don't let her know of your parents, sending her good thoughts and good wishes and hoping for the best for your friend
