about

While I am still young, I have had a great deal of life experience. It is from this that I give advice. I am open minded and try not to be judgemental. If I can help in any way, I will. Just ask. However, like everyone else in this world, I am not perfect. My advice may not always suit you, since my experiences are not the same as yours. If you want clarification on any answers I give, feel free to ask me. If you don't like what I said, or if I offended you, let me know. This is the best way for me to improve on my responses.

Thanks for looking at my page!

My grandmother died a little while ago (last Monday, actually) and I was very close to her. Although I seem to be handling well on the outside, I'm really torn up. I can't concentrate on anything and nothing seems worth it anymore. I am usually a very good student, I took last week off and now I'm back to school. The catch up work alone is overwhelming, I have assgnments piling on top of one another. Even if I could focus on my work, which I can't, I would still have a very difficult time catching up. With my lack of motivation as a result of my grandmother's death trying to finish all my assignments seems almost impossible. Is there anything I can do to try to get back on track? Thank you in advance.

Try talking to your teachers. Let them know that you are having a hard time focusing and catching up and see if there is anything they can do to help. Since you are typically a good student, they should understand and be willing to help you get back on track.
I also recommend grief counseling. A counselor can help you to deal with your feelings in a way that will allow you to focus when you need to and they can help with techniques for managing your life in this tough time. More importantly, you will have someone to talk to in person who understands what you are going through without being directly involved (a family member could understand, but it would be as much about them as about you which wouldn't help a whole lot).
