| Subject : My Dad
It has taken me a long time to write about this. Im a university student just now, and it only clicked when somebody said to me how much my father would be proud of me today. I'm 22 now. My father died suddenly when i was 12, and i was distraught. My mum did her best, but i was so close to him that it really cut me deeply. I never wanted for anything, but my mum was a nurse in the same ward in which my father died. This spelled the end of her career for her. i have had a bad run health-wise, and my mother has had a terrible run of illnesses, and her new job has now made her redundant. In the past year i have gone from having a promising career in international politics/business, to having a wrecked familly life where i am contemplating ending it all. Help

Subject : i really feel for you
as i read through your message i couldnt help but feel like i know what your going through. when somebody that close to you dies it feels like your whole world is craching down on you. sometimes its really hard to see the positive. your mum losing her job must have been hard also. why dont you look at the opportunities that are still open to you and try to be positive. i know it must be hard. Good Luck x

Subject : don't
don't end it cause if your mum is going through a bad time at the moment then she will be distraught at the idea of losing you as well all your friends and family will miss you ! Have you called child line they can help I lost my dad when I was in year 4 and I was the same as you but please don't even consider ending your life

Subject: Your Dad
I know how you feel. It seems when someone so close leaves you, whether it is a month or a number of years later it can tear you and the family apart. The same thing has happened to me. You can't help thinking what would happen if he where here today how different it would be. But you still have time to turn your life around. If you cut it short you are giving in. Show everyone around you what you undoubtably have potential to do.

Subject : Keep positive!
Just keep repeating those words 'YOUR FATHER WOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOU' and you'll be amazed at how much you can achieve!
I lost my mum, never got to university but now have a really good job. I remind myself every day just how proud she would be of me!
Steer yourself back towards your career in international politics/business and remind yourself you're doing it for your dad. Talk to him (I have a special place we enjoyed going to to do this) and tell him how you're doing. This positive attitude will help your mum - my dad lost his job after mum died but now has a much more enjoyable career - again which he attributes to mum looking down on him! Keep positive.
