When a Friend Dies When a friend dies, there are a lot of questions you want answered. The first is usually a simple "Why?" Then come more complicated questions: How long will my feelings last? If I don't cry, am I a bad person? When you are grieving for someone, it's important to remember you're not alone, and the questions you're asking and the emotions you're feeling are quite natural and normal. Author Marilyn E. Gootman, author of "When a Friend Dies: A Book for Teens About Grieving & Healing," answers some of teens' most common questions.
