Question Posted Wednesday November 5 2008, 1:40 pm
im an 18 year old female. well within the past three years i've known these two boys, one is 16 and one is 17. i'm not like best friends with them, they were just, friends you know? they're known to always have the party at their house. i use to go over there ALLL the time, this summer i was over there a lot too. i was always the one to go talk to their mom and dad. they have been through problems though, the dad is pretty much an alcholoic and has been through alot and the mom tries to keep everything under control, but it's just not possible. well for some reason i stopped going over there a few months ago and just today i got a text saying that their mom died. i was just in shock and my heart completely dropped. i feel so, weird? it's unexplainable. even though i haven't talked to those two boys, or the parents for a couple months i just feel horrible. i guess she had surgery a few weeks ago and something went wrong last night. there is nothing i can do, i go to college but i commute and the two boys are still in high school. one is in 10th grade, the other in 11th. they're popular so they have a lot of friends but i don't know what to do. it's not like i was super close with her but i talked to her all the time. i've just been having this really weird feeling, and i dont know what to do...
Additional info, added Wednesday November 5 2008, 1:44 pm: i don't want to think about it, but it's constantly running through my mind. just the thought of death makes me feel really sick...

Whether you were close or not when you lose someone it is so hard. I understand. The best thing you can do is just keep in touch with the boys and be there for them. Just reach out to them b/c it sounds like they really need a friend with everything that is going on. So just be there and be the best friend that you can possibly be. And I will keep the family in my prayers. That is so sad, I am really sorry.
Honestly you can't really force somthing like that out of your mind, just let it out, cry if you need too, just let the pain out, b/c then you can move on and accept death. It is what is, and unfortunately it happens, I'm sorry I know it is hard to fathom, but in inevitible.

Its terribly horrible to loose your mother, we only get one mother in our life and we have to except the fact that we will all die some day. I am terribly sorry for her, R.I.P [ cruzmeri's advice column | Ask cruzmeri A Question ]
