In addition, the person who died may have also been this family member and/or friend’s only friend. Now, because that person is dead, they may no longer have any friends. Because they do not have any friends, this may cause them to feel lonely and isolated from the world, which would eventually lead him/her into depression.

Because of these arguments, my friend would come to my house almost every day in tears and said that she as if she did not have a mom. She then moved with her
