Why do I need counseling just because my friend died?

Like the others have said, sometimes people become extremely depressed when someone close dies especially at your age, which isn’t healthy, so your mom just wants to give you someone to talk with about it. Also, about thinking about the good times, yes, this is perfectly fine, and the healthiest option. The best way to get over someone’s death is to not linger on the sadness, but to appreciate the good times and just remember them in your heart. And don’t be an hero.

Your mum just wants to make sure you are ok. So you go in and talk to someone once a week. It is up to you what you say. It couldnt hurt. It will make your mom feel better. Seriously, not a big deal. You may get something out of it, or not. Either way, it’s always nice to be able to talk to someone.

well, your not wrong if you think about the good times you two had however, a lot of the time when someone close to someone dies, they dont talk about it and keep there feeling bottled up this can cause depression because the person would be dealing with a lot of sadness and to help, you need to get how you feel off your chest by talking to someone about what happened and how you feel about it your mother would have been worried about you and would have wanted to get you help, after all if you can imagine yourself as a mother and you had a daughter whos best friend died, you wouldnt just leave her to deal with it would you? talking to someone is one of the best things you can do she could have even talked to you herself, but some parents might not know what to say if you feel like you dont need it then tell your mum that whille you do get sad you also remember all the good times you had with her and that
