I'm not in your exact position, but about a week before Christmas '07, my step-father died of a 4 year battle with cancer. I'm also 15, I'll be 16 in September. But believe me, I too feel like it was yesturday, I can't get the images out of my head, since it wasn't a sudden death or easy goodbye. I watched him die for months. But I think I've learned to deal with it a little. I'm here for you, if you want to talk. You can email me or IM me: AntF921.
helperorhelpee answered Saturday April 26 2008, 2:25 pm: well i'm 13 and i lost someone very close to me about 1 year ago. the thing is that you don't realize how much you love that person until you loose them. It's a very hard experience but it brings you a lot closer to your family and it also opens up you eyes to see that sometimes life won't go how you want it to go. You can always think in your head "oh, they're in a better place" but of course we don't want them to be in a better place. we want them with us. but, the only thing i can really say is live your life to the fullest and one day you'll get to see your mom again. when you do make sure she'll be proud of you for making it through and being the person she raised you to be. Best of luck to you and remeber "god only takes the best" [ helperorhelpee's advice column | Ask helperorhelpee A Question ]
princessita answered Friday April 25 2008, 4:29 pm: I haven't lost any of my parents but I bet I know how what it feels like. I am very sorry. What you can try to do is talk to a counsiler or something and try to be in activities or sports to keep your mind of the hurt. Whenever you have sad thoughts about her pinch ur self and try to think of all the great and funny times you had with her. Im really sorry and please feel free to write anytime or even call me. xoxoxoxo [ princessita's advice column | Ask princessita A Question ]
pinkcherries answered Wednesday April 23 2008, 9:52 pm: Well... I have never been in your situation... but I know that you prolly need someone to talk to. Well... I am really sorry about what has happened. But God will keep you safe. Everyone needs time to cry about things. So you don't hide any emotions. I am not saying becoming emo, I am just saying that no matter how strong you are this is a sensetive topic. So instead of focusing on the bad things I am focusing on the good things. Even though you can't see her, she can see you. So maybe you could try talking to her (praying) and tell her how life is so far. She would want you to enjoy life and not waste. So please try your best and live life as you would like to remember it forever.
cloudy_conscience answered Wednesday April 23 2008, 9:07 pm: Well I have lost a parent but not to death. My mother and father were divorced when I was very young, but once I got older he decided he didn't want anything to do with me. He got a new family and just completely shut me out, it was like he died. I was completely devastated. I kept thinking that there was something that I could have done to change that, you know, I should have been better or pushed harder in sports because thats why he loved and coping with those loses are hard.
I couldn't even begin to imagine my mother, though we aren't near as close as we used to be. She too has grown away from me. I am 16 and I live alone, she lives with her boyfriend and we fight constantly. Sometimes I feel alone and I imagine thats how you feel right now. I think talking about it may be you best bet, it always helps to talk to someone, even if they don't understand. Getting all of that off of your chest can be the best medicine.
I know I am not in your exact situation I just thought I would let you in to my life a little and tell you that I am very sorry for you loss.
