I’ve been struggling with depression, is my depression over a long lost friend going to last forever?

The details aren’t important, but one of my closest friends got very drunk and died in a car accident the day before his birthday a few months ago. <br><br>We were good friends like 5-10 years ago then we weren’t that close. One day we bumped into each other at a grocery store and we started hanging out a lot and he was still my friend. I have been struggling with depression and grief over this. <br><br>It feels like my grief over this is making me feel empty and not even care about my life. Is this feeling going to be forever? Is there hope for me?<br><br>Edit: I’m sorry, I think you’re all wrong. I think this is going to last forever. I don’t feel like I’ll ever feel better. Thank you tho
