My daughters college friend was tragically killed in an accident with an alleged drunk driver on Wednesday night. DD wants to visit where it happened and take flowers, I am apprehensive at letting her.
What should I do?

If she wants to go let her, but go along for supper and comfort.

Can you take her? If she's overwhelmed by her feelings it would be better to have someone with her. It's important to let people mark a death in the way that makes sense for them - and putting flowers at RTA sites has become the visible way to mark them.

Thank you everyone.

DD and some other friends have gone together, I did offer to take them but I think they all wanted to go alone.

I am left waiting at home, kettle at the ready and lots of tissues and a shoulder to cry on for when they all get back. I only hope that should the driver be proven guilty of drink driving the punishment reflects the total waste of a young life, somehow I doubt it.

Thanking you all again!
