Dealing With Loss

What do you do when something shocking and totally unexpected hits you? We discussed about time and the future in class today. I mentioned the fact that we have to be prepared to deal with whatever hits us tomorrow. I just found out that one of my friends was murdered. The loss is heart breaking. I honestly do not know what to say. I have so many questions and I don’t not know where to begin. So many thoughts in my head but nothing is coming out of my mouth. We really do not realize the importance of every single human being on earth until they are gone. I’m not used to dealing with death and in cases like this I get scared and feel hopeless. I can imagine the grief of her family. I do not know what else to do or say I really cannot concentrate on anything else. R.I.P YB.
