I am sorry for your loss. It always seems like the drunk gets away sometimes. If you want to talk I am here, but also take comfort in your user name.

Well it seems like you are very into your faith; and I'm sorry you have to deal with this situation.

He is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trusted in Him, and he helped me. Joy rises in my heart until I burst out in songs of praise to Him. The Lord protects his people and gives victory to his anointed king. Psalm 28: 7-8


Be strong! Be courageous! Do not be afraid of them! For the Lord your God will be with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31: 6


Remember, you may have lost friends, but you gained angels.


I hope the healing process is faster.



Best wishes,
Chris

Everyone will grieve - thats just how humans react. You will continue to grieve for alittle while longer - but you will grow stronger eventually.

Perhaps there are others around you who are feeling the same way. Parents of the victims, other friends, classmates, teachers? Do you find support anywhere to help you with this loss?

Drunk driving loss can sometimes feel very unfair. "Why should my friends have died because of somebody else's mistakes?" Perhaps you can participate in a drunk driving prevention movement. MADD does lots of programs like that, and you might be able to participate or advocate for your friends.

I hope you can find peace in this.
