Dear Matthew,

10 years ago, my best friend died of cancer. One year after that, one of my friends got stabbed and died. 2 years ago, one of my friends committed suicide. Last year, one of my friends died in a car accident.

I’ve been having a real tough time getting through this. I can’t seem to accept the fact that they are gone.

Sometimes I feel okay, and like I’m making progress. But then I have moments where I get panic attacks and I can’t breathe and all I can do is cry. I get angry and I feel like nobody could ever understand me. I know that most of us have lost somebody. But every time I bring them up, the people around me just don’t seem to want to hear it. It’s like they’ve moved on and I’m just ruining that. Is there something wrong with me because I can’t move on? Do I need professional help?
