Subject: Grandad
Im 15 years old and My Grandad died in June 2009, not a day goes by that i dont think about him or miss him. It was such a shock for us all, it didnt feel real, i just wanted to wake up from this bad dream i was in. I went to school the next cos i knew i would have support from teachers and friends, but  I didnt stop crying but it just didnt  feel right yo  talk about it. Since September i have felt like it is stupid to cry over him, so all the time i have needed to cry i havent, i have just kept it in, now i have kept in too long and i am talking to  teachers in school about how i feel, none of my friends understand what a rollercoaster grief  is- sometimes you can just put on a brave face and get on with your life, others its hard too thats why i find it easier to talk to teachers. Its only now i am opening up about, i was told it would get easier, but for me it hasnt because now i am more open about it is bringing all the memories back from what i went through last year, but its a massive help to have the teachers support.
I love you Grandad, R.I.P love your little Princess (L)

It is good that you have posted a message and then other young people will reply. If you want to talk to one of our support workers then we have a Freephone Helpline on 08088081677 which is open from 930am to 5pm. If you want to see one of our support workers then details of our branches are on www.cruse.org.uk

Besides our Helpline another very good helpline is called Childline on 0800 1111.

Hope these ideas are helpful
