witnessing a death

my daughter was with her best friend when he was hit by a car and died. she was hysterical on the day and also when i said he had died.since then she has shown no emotion even when we went to the chapel of rest to see him.the funeral is this week and i dont know how she is going to be,im worried because she isnt more upset or is this just her way of dealing with this. we do speak to her about it and speak about her friend but she seems to show no emotion at all.please help

Firstly how old is she ,,and was seeing the friend who deceased in the chapel a good idea or maybe she wanted to go ..It is possible she hasn't accepted the fact he has passed on ,and she may feel some anguish at a later date .Let her come around herself I am sure at some stage she will feel grief and be upset , just be supportive .
