Subject: best mates


about a yr ago my best mates mum died of cancer and he has to move in with his dad and his soon to be step mum. he finds it very hard to talk to any one and feels very alone he only ever talks to me it used to be ok and i used to know what to say but recently i have been finding it very hard to think of things to say to help and i cant think of any other ways of helping he says its great to have me to talk to but i just cant figure out what to do next if any one could help this would be great!!!

Subject:Try and support him

Hi
I am not exactly sure how you feel but I hope I can help. 5 years ago my dad died suddenly aged 37 and I didnt really talk to anyone until I started my new school 2 years ago and I finally told my best mate and she is so great and I am sure you are the same and your advice i am sure is as useful as my best friends.Your best friend is probably so grateful to you and even if you cant think of what to say just make sure he knows that you are there for him whatever. I am here to talk if you need. Love Hannah

Subject:best mate

I know just how you feel because 18 weeks ago I lost my best mate she took an overdose and I am in bits and I have totally changed I am not myself at all. I knew her since I was 2 so it has really had a big effect on me and I am in that much pain that I nearlly took an overdose myself last week every1 says it does get easier, I think it does but at the mo I dont think it is gonna. But it will get easier
