Dealing with death

Today in one of my classes I had a student stay afterwards and ask if she could talk to me. She told me that one of her best friends had died and she didn't know what to do with herself. I felt so bad for this young girl. I told her that everyone had to die at some point. I promised her that her friend was somewhere better now. She said she was glad to hear that from someone. I guess her parents were just as heartbroken as she was and didn't want to talk to her about it. I don't know how you are supposed to explain to a fifteen year old girl that life goes on even after other people die.
