Such a sad day...

So I know it's not medical question or anything but I'm just so depressed and down today.... It's the one year anniversary of my best friend passing away. She was like a sister to me, we had been friends since we were little and it's just so heartbreaking that she died so young. I feel bad for being upset that I'm still pregnant because she's buried in a town a couple hours away from here and since I'm 37+4 I can't drive out there to visit her grave or anything so that's making me feel even worse. It's just so crazy how the pain is still just as strong as when she passed even though it's already been a year. Anybody else dealt with or are dealing with something similar.? I know hormones are a big factor as well but I just can't seem to stop crying and get out of bed. I feel so drained emotionally.

Thank you both for your responses.! You ladies are right and I think not letting myself mourn correctly when it happened is what may be causing such a build up of it now... But the letter thing sounds like a good idea I'll definitely try it. Thanks for the kind words. :)

No one can understand the pain your in, it was your journey with you bff! Try and remember the good times. Cry and let it all out but find happiness and peace when you can. Maybe write her a letter and tell her how much she meant to you. My mother passed away in june a few days before I found out I was pregnant her birthday is 2.24 my little brother passed 3 yrs ago on 2.26.. the pain doesn't go away its just something we just learn to live with.

Allow urself to mourn. The sting of death never goes away. Maybe u can go visit the grave after u have the baby & are back on ur feet. If you believe in the bible a comforting promise from our creator is found at Revelation chapter 21 verse 4:
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
I hope that helps & wish you well!
