My heart goes out to you and your daughter because you have to face and deal with this horrible event.
But what I am reading encourages me so much - and that is YOU and how you are right beside your daughter every step of the way. My God, how does a 13 year old process all of this in her mind? No wonder she has a vacant look.
I truly do hope that the school has some counselling for all of the students.
But what your daughter needs as well is what you are giving her - solid support and lots and lots of love. It will be difficult - because as you are telling us she will go through many phases - laughter - tears - stone silence - it will be tough for you to see - and deal with.
Your daughter's life is valuable - she is very well loved - and what a tragedy her young friend did not know that about herself.
You have my prayers - and more prayers!
