I recently lost a very close friend of mine in a car accident and he was only 18. I still have no idea how to come to terms with it although I'm getting stronger. Do you have any suggestions on good readings or advice that could help?

Your site helps me a lot but not too many are about losing someone to death. — Asked by Anonymous

I haven’t had a lot of death in my life, which I’m fortunate for. But I would say reading almost anything would be able to take your mind off of things, but specifically check out “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius” by Dave Eggers. 

Feel better, I’m sorry for your loss.
