Carry a bottle with you at all times and think of your insides. Your friends need your input, so don't hold back. They may not know what to do. You never let that stop you. One way or another this is going to be a challenging few days, but under no circumstances should you see that as a negative forecast.
Lavender is a wonderfully calming plant.
Put a few drops on a tissue, or burn the oil in the privacy of your own home, it will help you and your friends through this time. You may have been thinking about casting aside some friends who you reckon aren't worth the effort anymore. This could well be a positive move, but when you make the cut, make it a peaceful one. You slipped out of their realm of importance, let them slip out of yours. Bid them goodbye and wish them well.
