Very clever.You have my deepest sympathies. You will get used to the grieving process insomuch as coming to terms with the empty feeling that keeps gnawing away inside, in my experience. I have always found though, that a part of you will never forget what that person means to you.
I'm sorry that I have not explained myself very well but reading your post reminded me of all the family and friends that I have also lost who I still dearly miss.

The one guy I could ever really call my 'best friend' died of a heart attack on 7/7/07. I saw him the day before, Friday, and we spoke of many things, he seemed in perfect health.
On the Sunday his girlfriend phoned to tell me what had happened: a massive heart attack, whilst cutting the grass at home. I was gobsmacked, shattered. It upset me for a long time, the futility of it all. He had everything to live for, was fairly wealthy, successful, nice house, nice toys, and it ended so suddenly. He was just 47.

When I was 18 I had to attend my first ever funeral and second funeral within the space of 6 days! 2 of the 18yo apprentices in the year above me died in 2 separate crashes in 1 week. 1 of them I had been to school with since I was 5.
Not a good week I must admit. The first was on a bike and a land rover pulled out infront of him sending him straight into the side of it at approx 40mph. It was a winters evening so the driver obviously didn't see him.
The second accident was at 8:45 on a Wednesday morning. We were on a trip with college to JCB and the other apprentice had slept in, drove to college too quick and slide straight into a mon coming people carrier at 60mph in a 1995 ford fiesta. He had no chance.

Last October I lost one of my best friends. I'm 17 and he was younger than me.
It's horrible but all you can do is move on, without forgetting anything that was between you. And it's natural to have moments of feeling completely lousy and tearful.
Move on without leaving behind.
