Shocked, angry, and upset...

[Alysser]

Her wake is tomorrow, and me and 3 friends are going to pay our respects. My parents keep telling me not to go, and they are really not trying to be heartless jerks but I think they want to shield me from it. I need to go, not only to pay my respects, but I feel I need to face reality too. The reality that no one is invincible and no one can live forever. RIP britt, I'm still kinda shocked by this.

I need to go, not only to pay my respects, but I feel I need to face reality too.

Very good reasons to go.

I think your right, I think it will help you deal with the shock of the whole thing. Big hugs hon, I am glad you will have your friends with you.

You need to go, her family will need to see her friends there. It will be difficult for you, but they will appreciate it. Trust me, I've been there, twice.

You need to go, her family will need to see her friends there.

That is so true. It's such a comfort when you've lost a loved one and you see friends, family, acquaintances and people you don't even know who are there to pay their respects. It's very comforting. PT prayers will go w/you.

This is a very mature response and I am happy you and your friends have decided to go. It will mean so much to her family to see her friends at the wake.

I hope that you are comforted by being there.

Here are some hugs from the west coast {{{{ }}}}
