Answers:
I am sorry for your loss; it must be very difficult to lose a friend at such a young age!. Go to http://www!.mind!.org!.uk/ and type "grief" in the taskbar, and enter!. Call: The Grief Recovery Institute (U!.S!.A!.) 1-800-445-4808, or Hospice (phone book)!. Email jo@samaritans!.org Chatrooms and forums: www!.chatmag!.com/topics/health/grief!.html and http://talkingminds!.15!.forumer!.com/ and http://messageboards!.ivillage!.com/ Other websites: www!.griefnet!.org/ and http://www!.helpguide!.org/ (coping, supporting others, loss of relationship, or pet) and www!.mental-health-abc!.com/ and www!.boblivingstone!.com/!?q=node30 and www!.crusebereavementcare!.org!.uk/ Understand that there are often several stages of grief!.

The stages are:

Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening!."
Anger: "Why ME!? It's not fair!?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my son graduate!."
Depression: "I'm so sad, why bother with anything!?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK!."
