Question Posted Tuesday September 13 2005, 6:25 pm
My dad's mom is on the verge of dying. I really never met my grandma so I can't really feel sad about it. Today my dad got really mad and blew up at my sister and said "My mom is F*ckin dying! You hear me? She's gunna die!!!! I don't need any grief from you!!!" What should I do to make him feel better?
erythisis answered Friday September 16 2005, 12:37 am: I know it doesn't seem very fair for him to take out his sadness on your sister, but he's probably is overloaded with all sorts of feelings and the best thing you can do is try to stay of trouble. Don't try to be rebellious, do your chores and keep up with school. A
s to interacting with him, just take hints from him. If he secludes himself, give him space and if he's just openly sad, give him a hug or two and let him know you love him. Just keep in mind that this is a very difficult time for him and I'm sure you'll be okay. [ erythisis's advice column | Ask erythisis A Question ]

Dont give him anything to stress out about, try not to get him mad and just be nice to him. [ ***DORK***'s advice column | Ask ***DORK*** A Question ]

BecauseYouLivex3 answered Tuesday September 13 2005, 7:06 pm: Aw im really sorry about that. Well what I think you should do is get some photos of him growing up and pictures of his mom and make a photo album. With all the pictures of good times they had togther. And put all the photos in that seem like there having fun. And it will make him so happy just to remember stuff about his past, and that you care about him & his feelings. hope I helped <3 [ BecauseYouLivex3's advice column | Ask BecauseYouLivex3 A Question ]
