Crying in the car

[Jesus-is-the-1]

I lost my best friend of 15 years in a fatal car accident six months ago. I am still grieving daily, but it's the worst when I'm driving. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with sadness I just break down and cry while I am driving. Is it possible that it affects me so much in the car because that is the way she died?

That is very possible. I couldn't imagine losing that kind of friend. When I was 24 there was only one that I had known for so long. I don't even want to think about losing him.
Six months isn't close to enough time to heal from what you have been hit with.
Talk about it. Get it out. Over and over if you have to.
Damage.

Have you ever sat down and talked to anyone about this? Sometimes it helps when dealing with something like this to go to someone close and just let it all out weather you just talk or you cry. I would also consider grief counceling, it doesn't make you a weak person to seek help, it means you are strong enough to realize you need the help and support. BTW, it's ok to cry.

Godbless you,

Thank you all for your responses. I have a really hard time talking about my feelings or crying in front of people. I think working on that is my first step. I know God will provide relief as soon as I give it to Him.

Best friends are special!! Sorry for your loss.

God does care about your hurt! You are precious to Him!

The pain doesnt really ever stop, but it will get to the point where you can deal with it without tears. It was a year ago that the same thing happened to me (it was a close friend and not my best friend though). Let your grief run its course, its much better to let your emotions out then stifle them. I think it is very possible that being in the car triggers your emotional response. It is very tough and I am sorry to hear about your loss.

My close cousin died on April 23 last year . First time I ever truely experienced death. I think the first time is always the worst, but well see.

What I didnt like most is how everyone used the words WAS and WOULD. Anything present tense. Kinda sad how religion falls right out the window when we experience something bad. I stayed faithful

Ive learned you just get worse if you talk about it freely. I was fine but I went to go talk to the priest and I broke down like a rusty car. I talked to my cousin Ilyse like every other day about stuff like that and its ok.

Your life is changed forever. But when i realized and analyzed my true faith, I was less sad. I also spoke at the funeral and it brought some peace (I said a prayer).

I could actuelly make a few mean jokes to my cousin when we had a sleepover with she and her friend. I gave her these weird ideas like he was in the attic and she got scared. Not the best thing to do, but it shows that you dont worry about it, which is good.

BTW, did you have dreams? I did. Mine stopped after a while. Its a sign I dont understand . When I was at my most faithful time, they werent bad; my less faithful time they were sad and scary. They were somewhat comical.

Hope I helped.
God bless,

Nick
