Another dream

Lame, yes, but it's bothering me.
My friend Amber just got dumped. In my dream I finally get her to hang out and attempt to have fun. We hang out for awhile before I leave to get supplies from the store. I come back and she is gone and her bed is being stripped. I ask those around what happened and they say she had an accident and had to go to the hospital. I frantically arrive at the hospital and find a doctor. She explains that Amber is very badly injured. She's recieved severe contusions all over her body, particularly her chest. Her lungs are bruised and having trouble functioning. Her other organs are not fairing much better. If she lives through te next few days she'll be alright, but she won't look the same. Her face and chest are covered in bruises and scars. They won't let me see her yet so I wander the hospital, weeping uncontrollably. Besides the details the doctor gives me, the thing I remember most is the soul-crushing grief I felt, so strong, it took several minutes of conscious consideration after I awoke to lessen it and it has yet to fade entirely.
