My best friend and I used to live straight across the road from one another. We were so close, we went everywhere together.
I moved house 2 year ago this July. The first December that I was in my new house was great. I was going to make my Confirmation that year, but first I had to do my Commitment Ceremony.
The morning came and passed, the only thing strange about it was that my best friend left very quickly after the ceremony. I thought nothing of it and went home.
On the Monday when we went back into school, my teacher informed us that my best friend's mother had died. I was in total shock. I was numb. It didn't hit me until I felt moistness on my cheek that I was hurting. I sat and listened to what had happened, unconsciously crying my eyes out. Even before the news had been delivered, I was crying. My best friend's mother was a second mom to me.
She was always there to lend a hand, to help you with your homework, to bake cookies or to sleep over. She was such a good mom to Rachel and her sister, so understanding and kind.
She passed away the day before Rachel's birthday. They were planning to do something special for her that night.
On Rachel's birthday, after school, me and a friend of mine went to her to give her a small present. Her aunts had flown from America for the funeral. When we saw Rachel she was playing Monopoly and chatting to her cousin. She was as she had always been. We left her and told her we'd see her at the funeral.
Some people had said they saw her and her sister crying on her bed together. If true that would have been the only sign of emotional pain she showed me.
She showed no signs of tears at the wake or the funeral, only she was a little withdrawn at the funeral. I didn't go to the burial, but I wish I had.
Rachel is still my best friend but yet i cannot ask her about this.
She never spoke or speaks to anyone about it, that I know of.
It's killing me inside that she can't tell me or I can't ask her.
Please.
I need help.
What should I do?
