The Grief of a Girl Whose Friend Committed Suicide

In this world we all learn about death and how grief affects us differently. I've dealt with a lot of death and funerals in my life, but no one prepares you for this. Growing up in my town I was introduced to suicide in middle school when a local boy from school was bullied until he committed suicide. I feel like every parent had to hold their child a little tighter and the suicide hotline and help was taken more seriously.
