...Fuck.
It varies person to person.
Some people (like me) get over it quickly. Others don't. There's nothing really wrong with being in the latter catagory. In fact, the former group tends to look like uncaring dicks.
Now, obviously you can take it too far, but it's pretty hard to do without being deemed legally insane.
Just remember to eventually move on. Kay wouldn't want you to be depressed forever.
And it's a good idea to volunteer.

It's been slightly under a year since my father's death, and I tend to dream about him on a nightly basis. So, even if it's not at the forefront of your consciousness, it's entirely possible for you to be focused on it for quite some time to come.
I don't really "get" that about humans. It strikes me as odd from an evolutionary standpoint, now that I think about it.
If it was anyone else, when they find the person—and they will find the person, if there is anything resembling a god in this universe—I'd be one of the loudest advocates for their execution, even if it would never happen.
But I distinctly remember how much kay didn't like that I was pro-capital punishment. And to be honest, this is emotionally draining enough that I don't think I could even be mad at the person.
So perhaps, if they do find the person, it would be the best respect to kay's memory to seek forgiveness for them, rather than retribution. I think, rather sincerely, that that's what she would have done had it been someone else.

"Shit, our candidate is a psychopath. Better replace him with Newt Gingrich."I send my condolences to all the bereaved. This is just terrible news and I hope whoever ran her over gets a conscience and turns himself/herself over. I've never really interacted with Kay, but I know she's a nice and fun person, which is why she deserves justice for what happened to her.
MAL || vndb || BlogI'm sorry I didn't know Kay. From what I've been told, I would have greatly enjoyed doing so. If you ever need anything from me, I'll do what I can to help. I'm fairly decent with a computer. If Kay's reading this somehow....thanks for helping Westy. I heard about how much ya did. Good going. You'll obviously be missed.

Go for it.
Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.
