My son lost his dad when he was 7. He will be 16 in a few months, but it still hurts; in fact he was just crying about it today. One thing that really bothers him is that he remembers so little about him, because he was not yet 6 the last time he saw his father.
I am sorry for your loss. Take the day off on the anniversary, you will need the time to reflect. Grieving is a long process, especially for so deep a loss. Just remember the time that you had together and how much she loved you. Think about all the things she taught you and the dreams that she had for your future. I believe that you will grow up to fulfill those dreams of hers, and become the person she always knew you could be.

my Dad died when I was 14. We were very very close, and my Mom and Dad had a wonderful relationship. It was very hard, and to this day it still is (I'm 25 now). But eventually, you'll be able to look at the situation and see what came out of it. For me, my Mom and I didn't get along very well before my Dad died, but when he was ill and in the hospital, our relationship grew and now we are great friends. If that unfortunate event didnt' happen, my Mom and i would never be this close.
Have you thought about donating your time to help other teens or children in your situation? I spent some time with a support group for kids who lost their parents and it made me feel better that i wasn't the only one to go through this. I'll be praying for you.

Yes, I did at 19. My youngest sister was just turned 12 when our dad died.
But when the unthinkable happens, it's no longer unthinkable but a reality.
Be glad for what she did for you and that you were old enough at least to love and appreciate her.
Don't spend your time thinking about what might have been, but rather about how you can use what she taught you both explicitly and by example, and how you can be the sort of person she would have liked you to mature into.

Well, my father was taken from my life, by murder when I was 4 years old. What I can tell you is that it will always get to you. But over times things will get a little better. Understand that love transcends even in death, but I also want you to understand that though she may not physically be here on earth, you are her daughter and she lives through you, her blood runs through your veins, so in a sense she is immortal. Her ideas her opinions, he thoughts her love her voice, all of that is engraved in you and you know that.
I hope that helps... I am 15 as well.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I lost my dad when I was 10, and now I'm 16. If you want someone to talk to about it, my email is kintayamada@yahoo.com.au
The pain does get better over time, but it's always there. Good luck to you!

I lost both of my parents. My wother when I was nine, and my father when I was 16. I know how lost and hurt you feel. And it can be extremely difficult, especially around the anniversery. But I promise, the pain subsides. It never totally goes away, but eventually when you think of your mom, you wont think of her death but of her life and all of the good memories you had with her. My prayers are with you.

i havent but my best friend did last year. her dad was a stay at home dad and her mom worked full time. her mom was on a business trip out of state. one day her dad never woke her or her sister up for school. her older sister came into her room to wake her up and said dad forgot to wake us up. so they went to his room thinking he just overslept, and found him dead. he died of a heartattack in the night and their mom wasnt even home. she was 13 at the time.
im so sorry for you, if i lost my mom or dad i think i would go absoluteley crazy. are you Christian? even if your not i suggest listening to some Joy Williams music. it helps me get through hard times. her lyrics are just amazing and can lift up your spirit. some songs i reccomend are "hide" and "i believe in you", "its all good" and "no less" to hear her songs you can see her myspace, where she has a few up. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=19964837.
please listen to it! it will make you feel a lot better! feel free to email me- im 13, 14 in two months.

About 4 or 5 of my friends had lost one of their parents when we were in school. I'm very sorry. I'm sure it hurts.
