Not sure how to do this... I'm Jack, I'm 22. Recently my best friend drowned in a river. It's my first experience of loss and I'm really struggling with it.

Sending you a welcome hug  :hug:
Everyone here has lost loved ones and understands. It can really help to know you're not alone in how you may be feeling and being able to talk/write about it can help us on our bereavement journey. When you feel ready you can tell us about your friend or how you're feeling, whatever you need support in. xx

Also sending you a welcome  :hug: Its so hard to lose some-one so young and in such a devastating way.Grief is such a rollercaster journey -there are no shortcuts sadly you just have to go with the ride,but coming here, writing in itself and also knowing others do understand, can be a big help in getting through.
