I just found out that a friend of mine that I've known since middle school has died. And I don't know how to deal with it. I'm not an emotional person, and in my family we don't talk about or share our feelings. But I was wondering if there's anything I can do to help keep my mind busy and not on her death?

Sorry for your loss.

If you wish to open up and share and let it all out, this forum is a good place, I am sure you will find many sympethatic ears.You may even find another grieving about a similar situation.
Or someone who has gone through the same thing and found a way to get over it.
