My friend has just been murdered

[Cruddy]

I've just heard that a recent friend of mine has been found dead.

Apparently she witnessed another murder, went on the run and was found yesterday with every bone in her body smashed.

Any advice? What should I do?

How should I feel? Right now I don't feel anything... got a million thoughts through my head but I don't FEEL anything...

[Urban Ranger]

Why didn't she tell the police?

oh crap.....

well, I don't know what you are supposed to think or feel. But by feeling nothing, I think it is normal at this point. It just hasn't kicked in yet and is difficult to understand in all levels. Many people are just 'hmm' you know.. I think it's some kind of self protecting method that is automatic.

I think you should take it into account, that you will feel something later on, be it in few hours, tomorrow or later on, so don't go doing anything that takes a great deal of accuracy. Don't go drinking heavily soon. The million thoughts running in your head are going to slow down a bit in time... so when it happens, just don't push it away too long but let the thoughts come to you and then you can process those thoughts. It'll come naturally in time.

So my advice is, don't do anything stupid, or put yourself in a situation where you can be stupid now. Also, you want to talk to someone. Maybe some of your mutual friends. Also don't push away if you get a chance to talk with a professional.

And last but not least, sorry to hear this. These things are always real stoppers and let's hope the evil behind this will be revealed and put in front of justice. Take care of yourself now, and don't be stupid. Don't get any ideas of any kind but just take care of yourself, and don't listen to your heart. Time for common sense.

This might be also early, but you know when you feel like it.. IF you feel like it some day, why don't you tell us about your friend.. who she was, what she was like.. you know, let us know your friend.

Urban, I don't know any details; if she did go to the cops she wouldn't be first to turn up dead as a result...

... Pekka, the problem with talking to my mutual friends is that one of them is probably the killer and the others aren't exactly level headed right now.

Got to go talk to her boyfriend. Wish me luck (please God it isn't true)...

You need new friends

This really blows. I'm sorry for the girl, her family, and all of her friends.

[self biased]

my condolances. i'd offer some kind of words of comfort, but this is by and far out of my league.

[lord of the mark]

this is terrible.

[Pekka]

Cruddy, yeah you need new friends man... that sounds really bad ... Just take care of yourself right now and everything will come naturally in time. And don't do anything that you wouldn't normally do.

Stay out of trouble, avoid being alone.
Help the police where you can.

Also remember, in situations like these, you come first, everyone else last. Read between the lines. Anyway, that's about it from me. Sorry I couldn't be any more of a help to you.
