Answers:

You've been put in a situation that no-one should have to deal with. Unfortunately though, you have. Because of this, you will have to find a way to cope with it.

It may sound corney, but there's alot of wisdom in those sayings everyone uses, like "time will heal". Reflecting on the fact that this and many far worse tragedies have fallen on people, and families over time... and they have gotten over it too. There is no "magic pill" or fantastic counselor who can change what happened. It ultimately comes down to how you decide to deal with it. Do you cave-in, or do you stand up, be strong, and lead your life in a positive way from this moment forward?
Your counselor is there to listen to you and give you advice, but it is ultimately up to you to take steps toward healing.

With all that typical stuff said, here's my suggestion to you:
1. Call up a friend, and get outside. It's summertime, and Friday. You have a great weekend ahead of you. Don't talk about the past, just enjoy the day. Go places where there's alot of people and fun stuff going on, like a festival or fair.
2. Exercise. Take a run, or a bike ride. Get outside by yourself for a couple hours.
3. Call up your counselor, and tell them "I'm ready to move on and I'm done being depressed" and MEAN IT. Better yet, call each of your friends as well and tell them the same. You'll be amazed at how much support people will give you.

All the best.
