I got slapped for saying this?
Okay, so a week ago, a friend of mine lost a person she was really close to. She said she wanted to die to! But I told her no, we needed her and didn't need to lose anymore people, especially healthy young person that can help change the world with her smartness. She asked me what would I do? I told her, I wouldn't look as her friend dying, but as her leaving her body off to a new place, where they will again meet someday. That they hadn't actually died, just moved on to the next life. And they will be waiting. That it may seem forever to be with them again, but it's not. Compare how long you will live in this life to being with them an eternity in the next life. It's hard, but it will be again reunited. Then she screamed at me and asked if that's all I gotta say and asked what would I do if either my kids died. I would want to die to then right? I simply said, I would be angry, and ask why they left me so soon. At some point I would want to die, but then think it over and remind myself I will be with them again someday. She slapped me then and walked off. What did I do wrong??? Could I have said something else??? Now I just feel damn guilty and maybe could have said something better. What would you have said if you were in my situation???

Don't worry about it too much, however she really didn't need to slap you. If she has lost someone close to her she is probably thinking irrationally and lashing out, due to her emotional state. Just give her some space, let her cool off. Keep an eye on her in the meantime, like you said before if she wants to die just keep an eye on her and if you see her getting worse just walk up to her and be like, "Hey, what I said before, I didn't mean in it another other way then to comfort you and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I understand what you're going through and I just want to let you know that I'm here for you."
Good luck! :) I'm sure you and her will both be fine!

When someone loses a person close to them sometimes they lash out. You said a very nice thing and she shouldn't have reacted like that and she definitely shouldnt have slapped you, but you just have to remember that she wasn't thinking clearly. And sometimes people that have lost someone don't really want to be helped or feel better they want to grieve and feel sadness.
Just try to talk to her and tell her you were just trying to help that you dont understand what you said that was so wrong and that you're here for her whenever she needs you. and just be her friend because she really needs one right now
goodluck!
