A friend of a friend of mine is obsessed over his best friends death. She died a month ago, and he is obsessed with her death. I never met his best friend but he talked about her. They dated at one point but broke up shortly after. He is depressed and lies in his house most of the time.

    This is very normal. One of my best friends from childhood died a couple years ago and it still bothers me a lot. I have lost a few other friends as well.

    The sudden death of a best friend can be severely psychologically scarring. This person is in need of immediate grief counseling from an accredited professional.

    It's called grieving, it's normal.

    My father past away and grandmother his mum. Both in 2007 from sudden heart attack its now 2015 and I am still not over there deaths they past when I was 15 years of age I am 23 years of age now I still feel like it was yesterday when they past I was super close to them. Grief comes in all kinds of forms and it can come and go and it can last for years / life time. Best thing you can do be there for the the person but make sure you take care of yourself to because you don't want end up putting your life on hold for your friend who is grieving so make sure take care of yourself as well as your friend.

    I hope your friend is okay?
    Take care best of wishes :)
