This morning before I went to work, I found out very briefly and unexpectedly that my best friend's mother died last night. It was a complete accident.

I didn't even know the details until after my eight-hour-long work shift, wherein every ten minutes I had to take a break and go into the storage room and grieve.

I had not spoken to my best friend in years, as he is rarely in contact, but I was able to talk to his younger brother over the phone when I got home, and he told me everything.

She leaves behind five children, all with depression problems, and varying from the ages of nineteen to about six, with an abusive father.

I am truly scared for all of them, as I cannot trust that they are able to handle such a loss. She was one of the only things keeping them all together.

I am going to try to make it out the funeral a thousand miles away, even if it means quitting my job. I also do not know if I will be welcome or not, as I previously mentioned that I have not spoken to my best friend in years.

If anyone could help me pray for their family, as well as for me, it would be entirely helpful.
This woman also seemed like a second mother to me, as she watched over me, helped me, counseled me, fed me, housed me, and drove me to school for many, many years when my own parents could not. This news hit me like a bus and I am traumatized.

Thanks.
