Bereavement - Teens Support Group

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom a year and 7 months ago and it has not gotten easier for me. I'm here if you ever need someone to talk too.

I'm sorry for your loss. When I was 16 I lost my boyfriend.. He was my first boyfriend, my best friend, my first kiss.. all of that fun stuff. I'm now 24 years old and my Tommy will always hold a special piece of my heart. I still think about him a lot and imagine what he would be like if he was here today... that kind of thing... But remembering the first few months after he died, that is the hardest thing a teenage girl can go through.

How have you been coping? I always found that music helped, writing helped, and being with friends was probably the best thing. Honestly one of the only things that got me through high school at all was my friends and my brother just "distracting" me from the pain of my loss. It works, it makes time go by.

It's been more than 5 years and in the first year I didn't think it would be possible to get over my feelings and how badly I missed him.... but you have to believe that you will be OK in time. He will ALWAYS be important to you, and you may always miss him to some degree too. But you will not feel as bad over time.

If you want to talk about him I'm here... I literally have been through something very close to what you're dealing with now.

My boyfriend of 2 years just died about 6 months ago. Im so sorry you have to go through this too. It is so hard to find happiness sometimes. I feel that overtime it becomes easier to accept the loss, but it becomes more real and harder at times. I wish the best for you and try to stay strong!
