tld - before my bomb drop (10 mos. ago), I was constantly consumed with anxiety (not debilitating, but far too much for a 'normal' existence). Of course, it has escalated because I felt 'something' was up between H and I. Still had no warning of the explosion that was coming. But, I have taken some meditation classes at my local college. The instructor gets us started, and kind of leads us through. Then, once you get the hang of it, you can do it on your own. It's starting to really make a difference now. You just have to keep doing it and you will get the benefits. It's really about concentrating on the here and now -- not the past, not the future, just NOW. It really helps curb the worry and the dwelling on the past. Keep trying. It takes some practice. I am sorry to hear about your friend...
