Hey i know that it is hard to deal with the loss of a loved one. I know this personally because my father died when i was 12 ,and im 16 now. I know that it may be hard to keep reading but i realy think that i can help you with the loss of your loved one, because i personaly experienced it first hand,and im willing to tell you my story and tell you how i delt with my loss of my father.

When i was 12 i was staying over at my dads house because my mother and father were split up but not devorced. my sister was moving in at that time also so her things were in the other room because my dad only had two rooms, and so me and my dad were shering a bed and i woke up in the middle of the night because i herd my dad gasping for air so i looked over and it was what i thought so ran out to the kitchen to get him some water but he dident take it i couldent tell if he died in his sleep or if he was awake, and to this day it still bothers me that small detail. I had to call 911 i remember i had to look on a piece of mail to tell the paramedics the adress to his apartment.

Next,at 12 years old i had to pull my dad onto the floor with out hurting him. when i got him on the floor i was still on the phone with the paramedics so they told me how to give my dad C.P.R. I gave my father C.P.R. untill the paramedics got there 30 minutes later then they tried to give him C.P.R. and they had him breathing for a couple minutes then they lost him at 5:30 in the morning on november 14,2004 he was only 49 years old when he died.

It was very hard at first to kn ow that my best friend and one of my parents was gone and he was never coming back,and thats what hurt the most. A few days later his mother and brother flew out from Ohio to Washington. This was very hard on my fathers mother and i wish she could of come out to see us at a better time. After the loss of my father i became very depressed,and i isolated myself in the house. I dident want to go anywhere i also had a bad attitude problem and i took it out on the ones that i loved the most, and if you find yourself doing any of these things then you need help. the best way to deal grief is to stare at it in the face. you need to talk about it its ok not to talk for a couple days ,but after that you need to start talking even if you dont want to. trust me it is better if you talk about it and not hold everything in because thats what i did and i dident like what i became its like it wasent even
