I really feel sad for you...I still miss my dad and it has been going on eleven years since he has left me...I am so sorry for you...you are so young, and Daddy must have been young also...the only thing that got me through..was the Love of God and Jesus,...who I prayed to every day and night...and finally,...learning that daddy wouldn't want me to go through life living so sadly everyday...I remember he wanted me to try to accomplish all of the things that would have made him proud...I love him so much...and the Lord knows how to heal your heart for you...God bless you and now I am going to cry again for you...my heart just breaks when I read things like this...I am sorry you are not doing well with money...Please say your prayers and give it to the Lord and His Beautiful Son, Jesus...they won't let you down...have faith...and I will be praying for you also....

Just realize that "This too shall pass" and you will have great times ahead. Life is not easy and sometimes it's just darn hard, but there are such magnificent things to look forward to and you're almost there honey. Take good care of yourself physically and emotionally. Try to find a friend or counselor that you can talk to and get things off your chest. Have a nice hot bubble bath, read, get a pet, go for a walk in the sun, listen to music, see a good movie, etc...

First, if you have faith in God, lean on him. He will comfort you in your time of loss. Second, concentrate on positive and good things and know that crappy times are only temporary. Third, seek professional help for yourself and your brother. You are a young lady, not quite an adult, and it's hard to deal with death at any age but particularly now. Fourth, not to minimize her importance, but where is your mother in this? Talk to her. You should be grieving together as a family as well as individually.

You are grieving for the loss of your father. This is a natural process that takes time to get through. Cry when you need to. Talk to someone who you trust when you need to. Run when you feel you want to run. Punch pillows if you feel mad. These feelings will change, but the more you resist feeling them the more they will persist. I am so sorry for your loss. You need some support - other family members, a school consellor, etc.
I will hold you in my prayers.

Get a candle and turn off the light, and lay in bed listening to your favourite song or artist. Sometimes all it takes is 5 minutes alone :)
And believe me, everything will sort itself out. Life always does, nomatter how crap it feels at the moment.
My heart goes out to you :(
Best wishes

You need to face whatever is wrong in your life and fix it. Work out, get enough sleep. Life has ups and downs...your sixteen, so you have a lot of years ahead of you. Live your life to the fullest.

Who is taking care of you? I'd go visit a school counselor or a close friend. I always had younger cousins that I took care of--maybe look for a family member close to your age.

Believ it or not, prayer can help. It does not have to be formal, just a willingness to let a higher power of your choosing in to your life.

i listen to music that has a really good beat and I draw.
the drawing takes away your attention and makes you focus on your drawings
the music makes you get into a rythem and feel happier
