Is it normal that i feel so empty after i heard this...

Masterbate maybe it'll make you feel batter.

Its normal , but please do NOT follow her if you feel empty .... Ty

A girl in my school died of alcoholism and I did feel empty inside even though I didn't know her.

It's like when you get to know someone and they die, you wish you got to know them better.

I'd probably feel the same. Whenever I watch a documentary or something where the girl or boy is shown alive and then poof they reveal to us that they died and how they died..I feel so down and I get so depressed. I think this is normal!

Normal. You kind of got to know her as much as any one could from an FB page. Now you are grieving a person who has died. Sounds like you are a very caring person in touch with your emotions, not a lot of people are. I think it makes you a better person but you need to be careful not to get carried away. I suggest you visit her grave and have a private memorial for her. It will give you closure. You are feeling the terror associated with accepting death and it is numbing you. The helplessness, the uncertainty...and this always tore me apart about death- the understanding that when the average person dies most of the world has no idea, life goes on and the person disappears from the memories of all except those closes to them. The person doesn't get a moment of silence at the game or a national holiday named after them and it sucks. There is really nothing that can be said or done to help you. It is up to you to soldier through your sadness, find other people to talk to (maybe even people who did know her) and again, visit her grave. Tell her that she means something to you and then tell her goodbye. This is the only way to put her ghost to her rest in your mind and help you move through your grief.

I was the same when a boy in my high school drowned while having an asthma attack. I didn't really know him, bur I would go on his myspace and look at all his stuff. I just couldn't believe that he was gone.

It's normal. Instead of a statistic; something faraway that doesn't really concern you; this is close enough to make you feel the tragedy. This was a person that you may have passed by in school. Someone who has a facebook page that you can see, thoughts and jokes to share. She was sort of like you, maybe.

I know if I were in your shoes, I'd feel similarly.

yes, it's a normal reaction. maybe you don't have any experience with death, therefore you are questioning your feelings.

no doubt, looking at her young face, and realizing that this girl choose to take her own life before she had a chance to live her life, would make one feel that way.
