Rachel Valerie Meece was my best best best friend. We met when I was 8 and she was 9. She moved into a house just 8 down from mine, and we instantly became best friends. We were more like sisters. I was a Freshman in high school and she was a Sophomore when she died. It was May 9, 2009. She was coming home from the movies with two of her other friends when the driver swerved into the left lane and a Dodge Ram hit the right side of the car. It killed her instantly along with another girl Stephanie Marie Gould, 16. It was just out of no where. I know its been a year now, but I just don't know how to get over this. I act like everything is ok, but everything is not okay. I don't know how to live without her. I don't think its even hit me yet. Please help?

It takes a long time to get over the first friend that you lose. You think that you're not dealing very well with this don't you? That's how it is for most people, me included. We feel like it's not supposed to keep hurting and that something is wrong with us but that's just how it is. Losing friends sucks and the first one somehow is like 100 times worse than any other.
The pretending that everything is ok might be a good idea sometimes. You have to have some fun and sometimes after a tragedy like that you just have to drag your butt to the party and pretend to have a good time and a couple hours in to faking it you might just realize that you're laughing for real. It takes a long time but you get to be ok with it. You'll miss them for ever but you'll feel less sad in a while. You'll be ok, kid. Talk to your parents some, they probably don't know how you're feeling.

Sometimes you don't recover from these types of things (especially if you were this close to her).
I'm sorry but I don't really have any words of wisdom for you. I've never felt this pain you are probably feeling so I can't really relate.....
I've had relatives die but it was never so serious that I couldn't function or anything like that (not yet anyway).
