The only thought I have is to be honest and kind. They each tried to help. You are very vulnerable right now, so be careful with your own choice of words. But don't avoid your friends, you'll need them during this difficult time. They each obviously care about you and did what they thought would be helpful. Your friend who is also a survivor probably just really needed someone to talk to and didn't realize how raw you are right now.

You can simply be honest in saying, I don't know what I need now...maybe I just need to talk, and just need you to listen, and maybe give me a hug at the end. But please don't avoid your friends now - they tried to help, and you will need them. It's a difficult topic to hear, they were probably shocked, and did the best they could.

Are you in therapy now to help you process all this?

Please take care of yourself.
