Last year we lost 3 kids in my school. One in my grade right after Thanksgiving, and then 2 a year younger than me within a week. One of the two did die in a car accident, but the grade was really effected....Not a good year at my high school. That and the 4 years I went there those were the only Deaths.
It will take a while to get over, but make sure you talk to someone, It helps a lot. I talked to my friends a lot this fall when I lost my grandma. And I bet most won't mind listening to you! Take care
