How many parents really realize the fact that with their sons/daughters there are no guarantees they will have another day with them? Especially teens? In other words what you do or say to them could be the last interaction between them or you. I think parents forget their sons/daughters are human and there are no guarantees how long a human is going to be on this earth. I ask this because a co-worker of mine has become a very distraught, messed up person because the last thing she called her daughter before her daughters death at 17 was a "Filthy whore after finding out she and her boyfriend was sexually active." The mother has turned to alcohol, divorced and is about to loose her job over this. Has this happened to any parents posting or do you know of anyone that it happened to. I think we all must stop pause and think before we say and do to not only our own family members but anyone we feel is important in our lives, you never know if it's your last chance.

It so happens we work for our states Dept. of Family and Social services and many coworkers are social workers, psychiatrists and psychologists, she's seen and talked with everyone to no avail.

I am always thankful that my parents did realize that, and I cherish every moment I have with my son. I agree with you about thinking before we say things.
The only advice I can give to your coworker is to find herself a good therapist. She wasn't resposible for her daughter's death, but I am sure she feels as if she is because of their lasts words.
She needs to let herself feel her anger and sorrow, and then decide to heal and move on. That is almost impossible to do alone.

you're very silly, and are attention-seeking. TALK to your parents (or any other adult you can trust) about what is REALLY bothering you. WHY are you fasting? You will make yourself ill, and end up in hospital again. With your record, the next time you may very well be put into a Psychiatric ward (believe you me, you really wouldn't want to be there) or a department that deals with Anorexia. You say you haven't got an eating disorder, and that you ate OK when you were in hospital before. That suggests to me that you are unhappy at home. Why? Things can be sorted out if you TALK to someone. By starving yourself, you'll be perceived as being a petulant, manipulative and selfish child. Your choice.

I realize this constantly. My cousin's daughter died of SIDS at 3 months old. I always feel very blessed to have my children. My youngest was my "miracle," baby. I nearly lost her 3 times while pregnant and during birth but here she is today, 18 months old and happy and healthy as can be. My mom and I recently resolved problems that we had been having from the time I was 16. Parents need to say more I love you"s and less "you're worthless," "you can't do anything right." People need to hugs their kids more and say that they understand rather than yell at them. Listen more than you talk.

Your posting is so out there! You are so right. About 15 yrs ago I lost someone dear to me heart and my last words were unpleasant, what i wouldnt give to change that. I too believe in always parting on good notes, cause you just never know. I have made a promise to myself 15 yrs ago to never ever say good bye to any one for any reason. Good bye's are for ever and so i always say anything but that. And on that same note when going to bed telling your loved ones you love them and always will is a nice way to close out the day, cause you just never know. I hope your co-worker finds her way.

this is true , but these children were given to us to take care of until he comes again(God) some of us are Blessed enough to have them until we die and some are taken before the grow up
we need to realize how preious life is and enbrace it.
