Dd16 best friend died two years ago this week , she had a tough battle with cancer but fought it till the very end, she was a beautiful girl and was actually featured on the Irish version of the apprentice when she was in hospital talking about her ward Smile, dd is so upset and miserable this week and has just been in zombie mode I don't know how to help her Confused she constantly carries a photo of them both together, it's heartbreaking for me to watch her be in pain and she recently lost another friend out of the blue in December who was also a first cousin of hers and actually witnessed him pass away as they were in a friends house together after school Confused it's all so much for someone so young, does anyone have any ideas on what to say to her or do for her , much appreciated Sad

Get some professional help, if it is becoming overwhelming.

and in the mean time, go to the garden centre, farmer's merchant, or online.

let her choose some spring bulbs ones she thinks they would like, find a good spot favourite park, green, mass plant a selection for her friends, it sometimes really helps to do something positive, she could create something beautiful,

I lost quite a few friends at that age,

When one friend died in a motorcycle crash, we added rambling roses, honeysuckle, wild flower seeds, and bulbs, to the bank and the hedge where he died, each year the spot bursts (bulbs double each year) with colour and scent, and we all think of him.

I have always planted as a way of thinking of someone.
