Subject: the last 6 months

hey i've been given the name of this website by a close family friend who has always been there 4 us. i used to think my family were so amazing but in the last 6 months ive lost my cousin from a drugs overdose, my grandad from a heart attack and my other grandad from lung cancer. it has affected me and i do think about it alot but i dont seem to cry. however my brother who is due to start his AS levels soon is dealing with it very badly. he seems to be spiralling into depression. i was wondering if anybody had any advice on how to help him with his pain but also to protect my family from any pain that his depression causes them. i hope somebody could write back to me x x x

Everybody deals with death in different ways - you need to deal with yours and try not to take on everyone elses as well. All you can do is talk to each other and try to focus on the positive stuff, he may just want a hug or he may be coping better than you think. i know it sounds rubbish but time is really a great healer - take care and make sure you look after yourself and not just others

Subject:Help 4 u

have had depresion issues and the best thing to do is have lots of family get together's and share storys. if you need help for an individual i would sugest that they see a pshycologist of a theripist. Medicine is a good and bad thing. Make sure it is only used for good.
