Bereavement - Teens Support Group

You should think about going to a grief counselor. There you can talk about all the things you are going through and he/she can give you different coping techniques to help your sadness and depression get better.

I know it is painful right now, but remember all the wonderful adventures you had with your friend. Remember all the good times, and how lucky you were to have a friend like her. Your friend wouldn't want you to be this withdrawn and upset. She would want you to carry her spirit on, and be able to say her name with a smile, because you know she is looking down on you now. And keep in mind that you still have friends who need you. Don't forget about them.

I wish you luck that you'll be able to take your GCSE's and concentrate on them and the stength to get through this difficult time.

I agree with ajmelone that you should go to grief counseling. My 16 yr old lost her grandmother last year and went to grief counseling that really helped.

hey i know how you feel, ive lost family members over the past few years and four great friends, since my first friend did in 09 i havent slept properly since, i imagine him hanging and cry when im on my own. i go through days where i cant eat and days where i cant stop, i cant concrete at college so do most of my work while im at home.. and i know how you feel with friends, sometimes im the same.. just quiet and think of too much stuff but i do talk to one of my good friends and college teacher about cutting and been depressed etc even though i find it hard to talk face to face i use facebook or text to do so.. dont you have a teacher you cant talk to? or start councelling, i used to see my connexions person at school who helped so much and i do feel shit now i cant see her but were planning to meet up soon fingers crossed.. i did get referred to a proper counciller and even though she was lovely i couldnt open up to her but everyone is differenet.. adults are probably better to talk to as theyve probably been through more stuff than your friends, talk to a teacher or someone you can trust and explain you need help like i did. trust me a big weight lifts off your shoulders. mail me if you wanna talk :) x
