Answer #1

I think to truly help you you need to have a frank discussion with your mother and grandparents to get everything in the open. You need to discuss your feelings. You need to know that everything is going to be okay. I wish you the best of luck for the future.

Answer #2

First of all, I’m really sorry to hear about your grandpa. Try praying for him. It might do some good. Second, go over to your best friends house - I’m sure they know what’s going on, so they’ll keep your mind off of it. Turn your music up real loud & just dance & move around crazy. Occupy your time. Do your homework. Go to sports practices…

Answer #3

I didn’t understand what your mother said that shocked you…

however, I do not think you should be afraid to talk to them about this, I think it would be better to tell them how you feel, and talk together about what is happening.

I am sure that everyone around you is very sad, and perhaps angry, and certainly confused… but, as a family, it seems discussing it would be better for all around.

You have a right to allow your feelings to be known, and they should be able to help you with them. Let them know how much you care, and how you feel.

and let us know how it goes, if you decide to.

blessings…

Answer #4

find something extremely fun to do. something like a video game maybe. I don’t know. something you know would work.
