My friend of many years passed away yesterday, we are only in our 20s and I’ve experienced many people close to me passing away in my lifetime so far, but I feel I cannot get my head around this.
I know it’s still early days but I literally cannot stop crying I can barely even speak about it to somebody for more than a couple of seconds without crying and not being able to speak at all. I just really don’t know what to do.

You’re not alone. I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support.
