My Mum died today.  I feel empty, numb, like I am in a bottle.  I can't sleep.  It is now 1am and I am wide awake.

My dad died 6 days ago. He was an alcoholic. I didn't realise he was so sick and hadn't spoken to him for a few weeks because he was usually drunk when we spoke so I didn't like talking to him very much. I never got to say goodbye to him. I am so angry. I am angry that his funeral didn't reflect who he was, his friends which were so very important to him didn't get a chance to talk about his rebel streak and love for life. I played 'Teenage Kicks' by the Undertones as we took the coffin out to the hearse, I think he would've liked that. I'm 22 and my brother is 17, I really feel for him as he is autistic and can't get his head around it. My dad's partner has all of his things, she said I could have some things but I didn't feel ready to take anything as in my mind its still his. But I've decided I will take a few things that are important to the family and that remind me of the good times we had.

My ex-girlfriend/best friend committed suicide yesterday.  I miss her more than words can describe. I spent all day crying and had to skip several lessons then passed out. I can't handle it all. See alsoAlexx's poem: I Accept

Today (19th April) I discovered that my friend, Keiran, who's been dying from cancer died this morning.
He collapsed a few days ago and went into a coma. Today they decided to stop his vitals so he could die without suffering.
When my friend emailed me to tell me I couldnt stop crying and it's so unfair someone of his age (14) had to die like that. It isn't fair.

grandmother has died

Suzie, 26 January 2010
My mum died 9 days ago (17th jan), 4 days before my 20th birthday. She took her own life, and did so in quite a horrible way i keep imagining it. I feel about a thousand different emotions a day, sometimes i feel sad, angry, jelous (of other people who don't feel the pain i'm in and still have their mums), i feel scared, helpless, lonley. It's mentally exhausting. I can't believe she is gone, and sometimes try to pretend she hasn't gone and that she's at home when i'm out, but i come back and she's not here. I'm scared to live my life although everyone tells me I have to make the most of my life as its 'what she would have wanted'. People think they know how it feels, the don't. My friends try to tell me things but they have no idea. It is something I have never experienced before and I am just longing for the day I feel okay. I don't want to do anything or go anywhere, i'm scared. My mum was my best friend and i'm so upset that i don't have her around to chat to, go shopping with or just be around. I have to be the adult I am now, do everything on my own. But i'm scared and I just want her here. I know it will take time but I just want to see her and tell her I love her and have a cuddle. I know it wasn't her fault she suffered with depression and now she is free of pain. But it's so hard.
