Take a walk outside to help clear your mind. Talk with your mother when you walk, she will still be listening. Mothers never leave their children. My mother passed away when I was younger and yet she still helped me get through a lot in life. Your mothers physical body may not be with you but she still does exist inside you like in your thoughts, your mannerisms, your habits, etc.
As far as the stress, take long baths, use candles, read a fictional book (takes you away), volunteer at a shelter or any other kind of volunteer work, especially for people who are less fortunate then you. That will help you to see how much you have to offer and to bring self value. Get a teddy bear or stuffed animal (doesn't matter how old you are), sometimes having something to hug and having a good cry will do you wonders !
Get counseling if you feel like you are being overwhelmed, that will help get it back into perspective. Most of all, remember, we are all here for a reason and don't give up.
The important thing is just knowing you WILL land on your feet, you may not know where your feet WILL LAND, but you will be standing !
Good luck and God Bless !

Sorry to hear about your loss. The best thing you can do is to help manage stress is get regular exercise. This doesn't necessarily mean that you need to take up a new sport...instead, just get outside somewhere where you can walk 1-5 miles per day in a safe environment (public well-lit areas are always best).

Not only will the exercise help you clear your mind, but it will also help you with your appetite and get sleep which are also common problems with stress is involved. One thing you see with the loss of a loved one is that life is short for all of us. Living a balanced life with exercise, lots of clean water, and healthy food helps you deal with life's major life problems and live your own life to the fullest.

Good luck and take a day at a time!

I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. I wish there was an easy solution, but somethings just take time to deal with. We lost my husband's mother two months after finding out we were going to have a baby. After that, we dealt with my dad having surgery and a cancer scare, my aunt having a cancer scare, my mom and grandma getting in a car accident --- among other things.

Try to patch things up with your sister. Whatever your reasons for not getting along right now - you really need each other right now. Also, rely on your friends and family members. They love you and I'm sure they'd love to be there for you. If you're a part of a chuch, this is an excellent source of comfort. I'm not sure where we'd be without our pastor and friends there. Lastly, if you feel your still having trouble, talk to your school counselor.

Answer 5

When I need to 'deal with it', I find that letting my mind take a short vacation helps. I get comfortable, close my eyes, and see the most beautiful mountain meadow. I walk into it and see the beautiful flowers, trees and plants. There is a wooded area on the side and I walk into the cool shade and breathe the fresh, clean air. I walk along the side of a small stream as it bubbles along over the rocks until I come to a lovely water fall. It is inviting, so I step into the water and feel it cascade over and thru' me.
When I open my eyes I feel fresh and able to cope. I hope this helps.

Answer 7

Deal with it, suck it up and stop having a pity party. You are not going thru anything that millions of others have not gone thru before. If you could NOT handle it, you would Not be going thru it.
