What is the best way of getting over a sudden death of a friend.

Talking & time help.

But I still feel angry.

More talking and more time. Death is definately not easy to get over. And cry and shout if you need to. Holding in emotion will just make it worse.

Walking wouldn't really be any better than sitting there thinking about your friend. The best thing to do is partake in activities that require you to think about what you're doing as opposed to having you just sit there.

Difficult as it may sound and it is, theres no point in being angry for long.

You cannot bring them back.

You haven't given enough information to reply further, but as I heard someone say recently this too will pass

find another friend of the the deceased you know well and see how they feel, sometimes the simplest way to make these things easier is to know you are not alone.

Indeed. Funerals can be a little sterile and sombre, and you don't feel like much has been accomplished. I would say to think of one of the things that your friend enjoyed doing most in the whole world, get together a group of their friends (close and otherwise), and have an upbeat celebration in honour of the person. Your friend wouldn't want you to be upset.
