Terrible Loss

Friday a terrible accident happened that caused the death of a friend. Not only was she a year older than me through school, we also served and bartended at the same restaurant since October. I feel that I am doing okay. I have gotten down more today because I read the obituary and news paper article. I feel that I need to be there for my friends, and I will be just fine. This isn’t the first loss I have gone through.
Stacy was killed on Friday night when she was hit by a train. It wasn’t suicide, she was walking the tracks. She was out with friends snowmobiling and decided to walk home for some ungodly reason. She tripped, hit her head on the tracks, and then was run over.
It had been a few years since I’ve seen her, but none less it’s a big loss. However, I’m not the one that’s having the problems so much. My friend Britt is having a terrible time! Her wake and funeral were today. I talked to Britt, and she wasn’t doing very well. I know this is a process and it has to be gone through.
I am trying to support her so that she doesn’t run back to her controlling ex. I am wondering if anyone has any advice that they can offer for support and ways to help her cope.
