In a way I know how it feels to have everything shaken up like that... I recently lost two friends in early October in a car accident (although it didn't involve alcohol). Another friend was in the back seat but survived (with bad injuries); they were obliterated by a semi tractor trailor... talk about graphic *sigh* It's tough to come back to the "real" world after trying to get through the grieving. Everybody in my circle of friends was hit by the tragedy (all members of Chi Omega and Phi Kappa Theta), and so for a week it was like our entire world stopped turning--yet we had to come back to the University after the many hours of traveling, visitations, and funerals... a place where to everyone else it was like nothing had happened at all, a very harsh realization... my advice is take it one day at a time and take care of yourself and your friends--you've still got each other.
