Why does this keep happening='[?

You are at an age when that kind of thing happens. Keep your head up, there are better times ahead. These aquaintances of yours couldn’t let themselves get older and grow up to deal with the pain they were going through. You just have to keep in mind that solutions to today’s problems sometimes lie in the future. Happiness lies in the future. Life lies in the future. Be well, we’re all pulling for you:’] sniff

First of all, I would like to say that what you are experiencing is tremendously difficult and I commend you for not succumbing to the pain but seeking advice- you are admirably strong in character.

People are giving up because all they see is the darkness and pain in the world, and don’t understand why they have to live in such a place- so, they take the easy way out. But though they were your family members (except for Josh), you cannot let that shut you down. You have your entire life ahead of you and I am sure that you have a lot of potential- don’t waste it. Persevere through these remarkably tough times and make something of yourself.

And always remember that though you will long for those who have passed away always, one day you will have to let go. And that is when you will see the light once more.
