Bobbi-
It might be therapeutic to attend that upcoming 5th(
) HS reunion of yours. You'll be with a lot of people that will remember your friend.
I lost a friend to a drunk driver just months after HS graduation. And at the one reunion I attended, I learned other news, a nice young lady I knew passed during childbirth, another in a hospital undergoing treatment.
I know it's important to remember our friends like they were, but it was cathartic to learn even the bad news.
