I am so sorry: for your loss. Losing your best friend is a very painful experience. To get through this - grieving is necessary. Please consider talking to your pastor, your family, friends or even a grief counselor. If the thoughts of death become strong - getting help is especially important. If you were to feel suicidal that warrants getting help right away. God Bless You.

Grieving: Your loss clearly was very painful to you. Your grief is understandable and may be with you for some time. Probably it will change and soften over time. People do find themselves able to do things and go on. But it may hurt and that's not bad. There are sensitive grief counselors who can help you find ways to value life again. Cultures differ on such issues, so look for one that fits you - peace.

See psychiatrist: After the loss of someone close, ithe sadness you are feeling is common. However, the depth of depression is a very serious form of sadness. Fortunately there are medications that can help. There are also support groups for those grieving, that may be very helpful to you. Do not give into your present feelings.
