Things like this are the hardest to deal with. Everyone knows deep down no one is at fault, but we feel we need or deserve an answer, and blaming ourselves is the quickest/easiest explanation. Logic is thrown out the door and nothing makes sense anymore.

Tonight, the world as she knew it changed forever. One of the things she was surest about is now gone. Something that she knew she could always go back to if she was scared or lost. Now that she’s lost that, she won’t know what’s certain anymore. From my experience, and I’m sure you’ve had it too, after the intense depression and anxiety that comes with things like this, you tend to go numb. You don’t feel anything at all because you no longer know how to feel about it.

What you need to do, and what I’m fully confident you would have done even if I didn’t say it, is be there for her through all of it. You need to help replace that uncertainty in her life. It is not all of your burden, as her friends and family will also be there for her. However, she’s going to need you more than ever
