Subject: i lost my best friend

hi. my name's amanda and i'm 17. i feel a bit silly doing this but i really don't know what to do. in february, my best friend laura died from a ruptured spleen. it hit me hard at the time but i felt as though i was perhaps getting over it (well not completely but i wasn't letting my life get wrapped up in it)now i jus gt upset when i hear her name, or a song that we'd sing along to. i even cried the other day when i was flicking through the tv guide and lauras favourite film was on. i can't even try and hold the tears back. i'm finding it increasingly difficult to cope in school and whenever i find something difficult i get very upset and it really isn't like me. i know this may not be a major problem but i jus thought one of you would be able to help me out and give me some advice. im sorry if i've trouble you at all.
