I lost my best friend Nat fourteen months ago in a tragic circumstance. I just want to say to everyone who has lost a best friend- you are allowed to grieve, there is no time limit or right or wrong way. My carer and counsellor have been absoloutly fantastic. For me, moving on means being able to rejoice in the relationship you had with them and still have with them. I also lost someone I've known since five and spent a lot of time with in my childhood called Emmalast July, so that hurts. However if you let yourself feel how you want to feel it will slowly get better. Nat- You will always be a little diamond in my heart- Love is eternal! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Emma I wish I could give you a cuddle and a kiss but know that Nat will hold you until I can once again. Guys hang on in there and be yourselves. I'm thinking of you all- let yourselves grieve. xxxx

My dad died when I was 13 years old on September 13, 2005. I'm 15 now and when he first died, I went into depression and to therapy. I never thought that I would ever lose him. He was always this big strong tough guy that I looked up to and to lose him in a matter of seconds, hurt and confused me, like it felt like a nightmare. Like it wasn't real. It just sucks that it was and I can't go back and change it.

I lost my grampa about 1 1/2 years ago because he had cancer. We weren't close or anything, I can't remember talking to him about anything much but he was my first ever bereavement. I think about him everyday still which is very difficult because people seem to be forgetting about him.

My best mate passed away from cancer in 2005, she was only 15, last time i saw her she was outside the school gates with me and she said she was feeling alot better and coming back to school, I gave her a hug and told her i would see her soon, but i never saw her again

Its been just over two years, I still miss her lots because i dont think anyone can ever totally get over this kind of thing

Ive still got her number and photos on my phone and i only regret one thing, i was going to ring her and tell her how much she meant to me and that i loved her, but i missed my chance

Love her always x

my dad died two years ago and i still cant believe it i just want him back not just for a few moements but always he was an amazing person and i feel he was stolen from me unfairly i have tatooed my grief but nothing helps not one minute goes by i and i dont think of him. im consumed with bitterness and feel when i lost my father i lost myself as well. the feeling of loss and love never goes away and you never get over a death but life seems to move on any way.....

I lost my Father 41/2 years ago to lung cancer, I was devistated never thought I could feel the way I did I missed him so much cried for him, it happened just before my birthday and every year for a couple of years when my birthday came round I felt so down, depressed and lonely I asked my angels to take away these terrible feelings at this time of the year which they did and I thanked them. I now sometimes talk to my Dad and when it is Fathers Day, his Birthday and christmas I still get him his card and or sometimes red roses and think about what a wonderful man he was this has helped me to come to terms with his death, you will still feel sad from time to time and shed a tear but things do get easier good luck to you all x

My boyrfriend of almost 5 years dies a year adn a half ago. it was the hardest thing i have ever had to go through. He died of natural causes and was sick but nobody even knew, not even him. it was so difficult at first but i got through it, becuase i had to. he would want me to be happy again and to move on. I still have our memories which i hold very dear and think about all the time. I still think about him all the time, but as time goes by it does get easier. i started dating again, it was weird at first but something i know i needed to do. i am so much stronger now as a person and have grown so much form this experience. what they say is true , what doesnt break you makes you stronger and it did. now i have my own guardian angel.

My mother died nearly years ago, I am finding it so hard hard dealing with it. I lost a lot of friends who found it hard to come to me. One friend who I thought was my closest said that she is finding it difficult because she can't imagine it happening to her. I feel so alone in this world. I get confused and forgetful and angry and then happy. It's so weird. But I have acheive so many things since. I hasnt killed me but made me stronger.

Tomorrow is my Dad's 2 year anniversary. You'd think it would be easier this year than the last, but it seems to be worse in a way. None of my friends remember it's his anniversary, so no one knows why I'm a bit crazy and emotional at the moment. Truth is, it hurts my feelings that no one remembers. Everyone seems so happy, and I can't help but feel bitter.

Sophie 07.07
on the 20th january 2005 at 1.00am i was half asleep and i heard some crying and speakining downstairs i thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. as morning came i my mum told me that dad had died of a heart attack my dad was perfectly healthy and started running about 6 months before he ate healthy so this came to a big shock for me and my family.

Sofee 05.07
When i was little i was so attached to mum until she began to drink. She became different towards everyone and it wasn't her. Her breath smelt and she was always arguing.About 2 years ago my mum died. She died because of Alcohol and it's affected my life so much.After a few days when she died holding my hand in hospital, i kept on finding bottles hid, it tore me to peices after that. I just wish i would have treated her better cos i regret how i did.

Natz 04.07
My dad died 2 yrs ago...When i found i cryed sooo much but at the funeral held it all in...i miss him soo much. every 1 finks ive moved on...But its hard u kno?

The first boy I loved and was loved fully back by died very tragically. He fell from a window, it was a freak accident. He was in a foreign country and died alone. I dont know how Ill move on, its almost 2 years later and I still feel that emptiness. When does it get easier, will we ever really be able to let go or will we just never really move on from the past, no matter who we meet?

(anon) 04.07
My brother died 2 years ago in an off road car accident. I don't know what to do because i feel that everyone in my family has taken on a role with his death: My mum the cryer, my dad the strong one, my other brother the one who never talks about him so I don't know what to do because they all think I'm strong because I spoke at his funeral when I was only 10 but they don't realize that I do miss him and I do want to cry but they know that and I don't know how to tell them.

beth 04.07
i had lost my mum at the age of 19. now i am 21 i am 22 in july, it was a big shock to me as i couldn't belive it when dad had came though to tell me that she past away. she was a healthy person who loved to walk every where and liked to help out other people all the time and always but other people first she was only 57 when she had past away. she was my angel and my best friend and she will always be in my heart.
until this day it still doesn't fell real and i think that its because i had to carry on and to be strong for dad. dad hasn't given me support none at all and i have try to get him to open up to me but instead it has made us apart from each other and i had put myself though so much this past 2 years. there has been times where i had nearly over dose myself to make the pain to go away but at the end of the day i wasn't able to do that. i had also pushed myself to go to breavement sessions as i thought it would help me to get rid of the anger inside of me. at the time some of it did help me, but last year september i got so depressed where i had pushed all friends away and i wouldn't talk to them about my problems as it felt wrong to do that.
but my boyfriend has helped me as he always listens to me what i have to got to say and he will sit me down and will talk about it. know i have moved down to be with him as i found out that i am pregnant, so i am pleased that everything has starting to work out for myself and starting a new fresh with my boyfriend. we have been together for 2 years and he has helped me to become more stronger and make me realise to put myself first. which i am still working on.

When i was a freshmen in highschool i met the most wonderful guy in my life, although he was senior, i admired him through the whole year falling in love with him day by day, finally school was coming to an end, and summer came. That summer was the best and the worst of my life. He Finally came into my life and we were so happy i never felt that way in my life. Soon everything came to pain when he fell asleep coming to surprise me. when he crashed he died on impact, ever since that day i have been so lost. even though its almost 3 years i still cant let go.

(anon) 03.07
I lost my boyfriend 2 years a go...my life ended when he died and i wish i had died with him. The first nine months i just existed and then i told myself i was ready to get on with life, i was 21 at the time and therefore i just spent my weekends getting extremely drunk and sometimes doing silly things making myself feel worse. I had some amazing friends and my mum was my rock but noone can help you when u've lost ur world. I never thought i would be happy again but a few months a go i met someone and slowly my life is getting back on track...its still hard, i'll always love my boyfriend and i'll never forget him, he's the last person i think of at night but i'm trying to remember that life goes on and we have to live it to the full.

Holly 03.07
16 months ago my dad died of cancer. my mum got cancer when i was 7, im 15 now. i never expected him not to be there on my 16th birthday. what i really hate is that because my parents were having chemo or radiotherapy at different times they were always able to make it easier for each other, and my dad was such a sensitive, caring man, he loved and protected my mum so much, and now im terrified for her. shes such a strong person but now i know the only reason shes fighting for her life is because of me and my brothers. i always expected them to grow old together. im so scared in case she has the same death that he has.

steph 03.07
I lost my best friend Luke 2 years ago in a car accident.
He was one of my best friends and we would share everything. He made me feel better all the time.
He was 15 when he died. And even thought its been two years I miss him like crazy still and I cry alot.
I just want him to know I miss him and love him so much. And maybe I'll see him again one day =]
I love you man, you were the best friend I ever had and no one compares =]

My Dad on January 10th 2005 which unfortanly is my twin sisters birthday. It started when my Dad had cancer in 1999. He imediantly stopped smoking and he recovered. But, a few years down the line he thought that his cancer was back and turned to drink. My family tried everything from groups to even tipping his drink down the sink. In the end it was to late. His last words to me were that he loves me and that he was sorry. Of course I forgave him and get upset over it. My dad may have gone to heaven, but my memories haven`t. Love you loads Dad, keep shining!!!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

karly 02.07
when i was 12 my dad died of cancer and i knew it was going to happen but when he died i was still in shock. im now 14 and still havent got over it, because i lived with my dad and me and my dad never got on with my mother so it is hard because know i have to live with her!! its been nearly 3 years and im still numb.

Steviejayne 02.07
two years ago i had to experience the death of my DAD. he was killed at work because his boss had no safety equipment (my dad was a steel building erector) he fell 40 foot and seriously injured his internal organs and broke his femur, 3 ribs and his tibia and fibula. after his accident he lived for 3 days on machines in hospital, when they told me and my mum that it was hopeless and turned the machines off.
i was heart broken, my dad was my hero.
But i had the two greatest people to help me through this. my best friends alex and chris, who supported me and ensured that i got through each day as they came, and made sure they where always there if and when i needed them.
Im still not over what happened to my dad due to all the court cases i had to endure immediately after my dad's death, i havent really had time to grieve and have just suppressed all my emotions, because i have to prove to everyone that im ok so they dont wrry espically for my mum. she's had to put up with so much over the last six years. she had a serious motorbike accident that nesarly killed her, but didnt but instead has made her disabled for the rest of her life as she shattered her right leg and it is now 2 inchs shorter than her left. i have to be strong for my mum as she has so many things to worry about i dont want to add me tyo her list.

Steaders 02.07
my dad died over two years ago now and i still havent cried for him. people say it was because i didnt love him when i did he was my hero, growing up i could never imagine him not being there to support me and now that he's gone, somehow im always waiting for him to nock on the door as if he's away with work again. every time the door knocks i feel something in me gain hopefulness that its him but it never is.

L.J.W 02.07
my dad killed himself almost two years ago now. i have tried to cope, i've seen councellors, psychologists and even doctors for psychosamatic symptoms (when they are physical but come from your emotions). i really do try but it is so hard when all my friends talk about their dads and all that. my doctor said that it takes 2 years to ajust to a life changing experience but i feel like i will always be hurting this way and will always miss my dad and feel depressed. i loved my dad even if he didn't know it, and i miss him every day and will never forget him as long as i live. i promise. ich liebe dich papa!

claire 12.06
My brother Micheal died two years ago he had a mental illness which i had to cope with as i was my mums and his carer.
Micheal was found in a lake he had drowned i was in school having a normal day when my teacher asked me to go to reception by then i knew something was wrong i just didnt know what until i seen tears in my brother stepehens eyes i fell to the floor when he told me i thought no not my micheal, he was my rock he promised me!
Well that was it i knew that from that day on i would never be or feel the same again.
And right i was because even now two years later i feel sick with anger at my brother and at myself,
WHY dint i stop him
WHY couldbt i help
WHY werent i there
WHY does he hate me
there are so many questions yet not a single answer.
I self harm but i try to cope for my mums sake but deepdown inside theres a little girl crying and tonight she wants to die!!!!!

my Dad died 22.06.2004, on the day of my physics gcse. i have now just started university, i still live at home with my mum though. i have no brothers or sisters, and i dont always get on well with my mum - i find i have no one to talk to. i just seem to bottle evrything up. i cant talk about my dad, even though he was such a wonderful man - we are so alike! i cannot bear to think of him as my "past". i think i now am ready to talk about it, but i do not know who to talk to. i feel so alone xxx LOVE U MY DEAR OLD DAD XXX

lucy age 8 11.06
my dad died when i was 6 yrs old. he was killed on his motorbike, he went for a run and never came back. i miss him so much, and feel sad because i am the only one at school who has lost a mum or dad. no ones understands how i feel. lucky for me i have an older brother who loves me very much, like my mum.

Shannon 11.06
One long time ago, my mum died of smoking and I was there when she fell on the floor. And an ambulance came up and picked up my mum and I went to her funeral. I am feeling sad now. It was two years ago.

Ryan 11.06
This year on september the 10th was the 2 year anniversary of ma dads death. This year we scattered his ashes somewhere where he liked to go. That was rele hard only a few of us went but tht was all the people we asked to go. Before we did this, My nanna passed away (my dads dads mum) and it was rele hard. She died in Addenbrokes on a saturday. A few days before the 10th. Her funeral was a few days after 10th and we found tht week rele hard because evrything bad was happening and i didnt think nething would go rite. I am finding it rele had at the moment without my dad coz these few year r wen i need him the most but he isnt here and it rele upsets me. Going home after skool is the hardest as a few hours after i would get back he would and he doesnt. This year we went to the cambridge fireworks and i rememba my mum tellin me he always wanted to go to 1 of the famous falls and all the fireworks looked like the falls and afterwards i got rele upset. I miss him with all my heart and i would do nething to get him bac but i know i carnt and it hurts me wen i wake up evryday knowing he isnt going to be there. I keep feeling his presents with me where i go and i just wish i could see him.

Grandads are the rose you would pick, it would be the brightest and smell the sweetest.
My Grandad was the ultimate of men, I never knew my dad well and my grandad was THE male figure, he taught me how to kick a ball and how to bake a cake (wat a man), He makes me smile even when it hurts like mad, he shows me love when I need it, And when I need his wisdom a miss him the most, But I am safe in the knowledge that he taught me everything I know, and that keeps me strong, so for all of you out there struggling to come to terms, be safe in Grandads knowledge that he is most certainly looking down on you, will always smile at you, and will most definately be by your side and proud of you.

amy 10.06
My sister died about 2 years ago it was really upsetting i still think about her today everytime the morning comes i dont want to get up or be here but i know i have got a life to come.
When i go to sleep i dream about what she would be doing. My life has been a misery i will never get on with my life until she is able to rest. KEEP RAVING AND KEEP YOUR CHEEK UP IN HEAVING KYLEE I WILL NEBER FORGET ABOUT YOU.

L. 09.06

Jo 08.06
I lost my boyfriend of nine years in july 2004 to a brain haemorrage, we had been together since I was 16 and I did and still do love him dearly. All the memories and special times we spent together I miss so much. He collapsed on my 25 birthday at work and died 5 days later. He was my one. My friend, soul mate , lover and beautiful man. I miss him so much it still hurts everyday. My heart goes out to all who have lost someone daer to them.

Terri 08.06
grandad died just two years ago very sudden upsetting shocking. his love of animals inspired me so i got a rabbit and named it after him (tj) and im sure they have the same spirit makes me smile and think of grandad when i play with him.

Sally 08.06
I lost my bestfriend. She was hit by a car, in front of me. We crossed the road on the way back to my house, i felt it was my fault because i asked her to walk that way... but i realise now it wasnt my fault. Amy, my bestfriend, was hit and thrown into the air. She came round in the road and asked me to hold her hand, so i held it so tight and told her everything would be fine. i could barely breathe i was in such bad shock. then she said "my head really hurts Jo." so i stroked her hair and told her everything would be fine, she smiled and then died. just like that. still holding my hand she died. i didnt speak for 3 months afterwards. the first perosn i talked to was the driver of the car, which was ironic. life seemed so hard. but trust me it gets better. its tough but gets better.

claire 07.06

Kate 07.06
My Granddad died 2 and and half years ago. It does not get any easier. He died of lung cancer and didn't tell me until he was dying. I feel so guilty sometimes!

Nessia 07.06
lost my dad to a sudden massive heart attack on aug 6, 2004. I dont know how to go on without him, the pain is so strong i feel like its eating away my insides. he was the only parent i had left, he was my source of strength. its so hard for me to even get out of bed in the morning, much less cope with everday life. help me someone i am falling.

Carleney 06.06
My mum passed away on Christmas Day 05. It is kind of ironic come to think of it- death on Xmas day. However come to think of it, I guess it was an Xmas miracle for her. She had been battling ovarian cancer for a year and four months (always having chemo, never stopped once). It was all too much for her but I am glad I was there when she died. We were a family on Xmas day, for the last time. I love her and although the last time I spoke to her was two days before, I think she knew what I have always wanted to say- I love her and I always will. I'm still a teen at nineteen (small smile) but I know I've got a lot of responsibilites and even though its tough at times, I believe that I can and will carry on. And the same goes for all others out there on this site. Bless you all. xx

august 23rd 2004 i lost my dad. This particular day i had been called in at half 6 in the morning due to my dads breathing rate deterioting later on in the day he was going for a C.T scan and was giving me a cuddle and died in my arms. I was the only child at his bedside. My elder brother was in prison and my sister on holiday. I still cant get over losing him when i was only 14. My dad was my best friend and brought me up as a single parent without my mum.

My Boyfriend died in a car accident almost two years ago.
It is coming up to his anniversary and I still cant accept what has happened.
I never dealt with what had happended at the time and now I am really starting to breakdown...i must say to all of you out there that have experienced a loss like this, please deal with it and dont pull down the rollerdoor and try to ignore what has happened, because it doesnt go away.
I miss him more than anything in the world...he was 22 and I was 19 when it happened.. I found him when it happened and those sort of images do not go away, but with the support, love and patience of family and friends I will get through this, its just going to take time.

Susan 06.06

I lost my brother 2 years and 3 months ago and this morning just after 3am i lost my beautiful mum to cancer. I know everyone talks about cancer but until you see it destroy a bubbly happy person you dont no. I am mad at her doctors because they said their was nothing wrong with her and their was her doctor gave up on here the moment she met her and me and my dad and family were not offered any support at all the hospital and docotr know who they are but they have broke up a friendship and marriage and made us lose a mum and nana and my mum will never see her unborn grandchildren.

my cousin died nearly two years ago and still to this day it feels like it happened just yesterday. I can remember ever little detail about the night he died and when i last saw him. Now that he is gone i realise there was so much i wanted to say to him that i never, and i regret that. At the time it was too hard to say goodbye, and i thought in time it would become easier. But i am still unsure of how i feel. Its hard to accept the fact that i can't change what happened, because i would of done anything to provent it.Now i hate having arguments with people because i get scared that i might say something i don't mean, and something might happen to them and i might regret it. But i know that he will always remain in my thoughts and forever in my heart.

its roughly 2 years ago now, during june through to august of 04. in the june my nan died i was really close to her and i never had the courage to visit her in hospital or say goodbye properly. in august it was inevitable that my step mum was going to die. she had sufferd from cancer for more than 3 years previously, she was like my best friend. i missd my nans burrial because i was with my step mum, i felt so guilty. even though it was 2 years ago the pain doesn't go away. i think about them everyday. at the moment im suffering from depression and i feel i can't cope. but i know they will help me. love u forever and always xXx

My nan died nearly two years ago now. We were really close as she looked after me while my mum and dad were at work. i loved my nan so much it was different to the way i love my parents. My nan died suddenly she was meant to be coming out of hospitial on friday the 23 of jan but she never did she died on the 26th. I never really thought that people would notice how much the death of my nan had affected me untill a teacher at school mentioned it. I was out of control and did nohing any one asked! Now thanks to that one teacher and his support I am starting to get back on with my life. I am stilll at school doing A levels after good GCSE passes. YOU CAN GET THROUGH THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE BUT IT WON'T BE EASY.

When i was 6 i lost my aunt to a rare disease. I didn't understand why she had died but it hit me hard. Two years ago her son (who was disabled all his life due to a rare muscle disease) also died, he had lived longer than expected. I had watched him cry because he was in pain. in a way i was happy for him that he died, he suffered so much but had a personality beyond others.
On the night of his death my mam had went to the hospital, in a way i new he was going to die that night. I remember having laughs with him, comforting him, and helping him. It was hard for me but i learnt through the eyes of a disabled one. I felt only what he would have wanted, for me to be happy.
All i can remember of my aunt was a little red box she had given me and the blanket i had gave to my mother, to wrap around her feet, to keep her warm when she went to heaven.
Things changed since they died. My nana finds it hard to think about her daughter and grandson who died in such painful ways. But im happy that they are together its best for them both.
After my aunt had died i felt her prescence in my bedroom. I thought she sat at the end of my bed watching me. After my cousin died i thought i saw him in the streets in his wheelchair, i did see him because he is only gone in the body not soul.
He can walk in heaven, thats all i thought.
God bless thee for they are not gone from this world and never from our hearts

it is coming up to 1 and half yrs and this will be the second christmas without my mum. she died aged 49 of natural causes and we don't really know what killed her, she just died. i bottle everything up generally and as christmas nears i have a complete sense of being lost and alone. i am at uni so live away from my family and my friends don't really understand and because i try and be happy as much as i can around them they leave me to it when i'm a bit unhappy, more concerned with their own lives. it is hard and i wish i could just sit with my mum for an hour so she could reassure

Oh my, I have had my fair share of deaths mostly in the family and there has been at least one death in my family every year since I was 9/10. I am not 17. You'd think I'd get used to it, but no. I love my best friend, my soul-mate, and my other half exactly on the date where it would have been that no one I had loved died. Ironic huh? He died in a snowmobile accident and I can not help but feel to blame partly because he only went out riding because he was waiting on me to come up to the house. If only I had been there early I would have my best friend in the entire world back. I miss him so ungodly much it hurts; it hurts sooo bad. It's been over a year and half now and it still hurts because I want to talk to him. Sometimes, I just don't think it will ever get better :'( i miss my Joe:'(

my little sister did two year's a go she was born with a hole in the heart my family knew this would happen because we where parpered for when the time comes my mum was really upset when she finally sut her eyes for the last time and i feel
that when some that closeto you dies u have to be strong for them around u and i know it can be hard and but you slowly get there in the end
at her funarel we let three white doves go and that made it more speacial it our way of remembering her

I lost my brother two and a half years ago and it just seems like yesterday. I miss him loads, even though we didn't always see eye to eye there was a deep bond between us. I never got to say goobye as it was very sudden,which is one of the hardest things to deal with. I keep asking the question 'why Lee?' he was only 27 and had a 6year old daughter. I find it very difficult to talk to my partner as he has never lost anyone close to him. I talk to my mum about Lee all the time, it helps her to talk about him. I think we both feel that as long as we keep talking about him we will keep his memory alive and it somehow fools you in to thinking he is still around. I look up to the sky some nights and imagine he is the brightest star looking down on me. I just wish I could have told him I loved him and had the chance to say goodbye.

My Nan died just over two years ago. We were very close. She wanted me to go out with her on the night that she died, and she didn't want to go alone, but I was really selfish and wouldn't go. I never saw her again. I went with my mum to the hospital, and she wanted me to go and see Nan with her, but I let her down and wouldn't go. I can still see every detail of what happened from the moment she left the house. I feel so guilty, and I would give anything to see her one last time and say sorry. I know she would be really disappointed with me if she could see me now, and it tears me apart. She was like a second mum to me and I miss her so much. I feel so sad all the time and feel so stupid because I should have got over it by now.

my mam died a year and a bit agao, when my mam first got diagnosed with cancer we all thought that she would get better after she had her chemo. how wrong were we?
my mam was told she had 6months left to live on 20th feb 2004 as she had cancer of the stomach. within five weeks the cancer had spread to all of her vital organs such as her spine, ovaries, kidneys, lungs etc,
on the 9th april she went into the hospital in sunderland as she couldnt stop bein sick it was horible to see her like that, within the week she was in the hos we never once seen a nurse or a doctor around her all we seen was the cleaners and the people that gives the patients the tablets.
my mam died on the 16th april 2004 (the day she was meant to start chemo) with no-one around her except me nana she was even left on the ward for 4hours after she died with just the curtain around her.
i felt guilty after she died as i told her that i hated her 6weeks before she died as we had an argument i just wish that i had enough time to tell her that i loved her before she died but i didnt, also the day before she died she asked me to go into the hospital to see her on the thursday night i said no so i never really got time to say bye to her.
i really miss my mam still and theres not one day i wish she never got t cancer as she has left a 6yr old boy.
My brother dont remember me mam as he was to young n he still thinks that our mam is going to come through the door.

I lost my dad about a year and a half ago. He was almost 41 and it was very unexpected. My cousin and his wife turned up at three in the morning and I woke up. I put on some clothes as quik as I could and went into the dinning room.I saw my mum on a chair crying and before she could explain I had guessed just by looking into her eyes. I could'nt believe it. It wasn't possible. He went to a boat show for the company and never came back. It was the worst day of my life. For about a year I lost most of my memory of what happened before that day. It has almost all come back but the first thing i rememberd was those dreams that I had a few weeks earlier: i was waking up and I felt that my dad had died. I was always crying in the middle of the night. The night before yesterday, the day that my little sister came back from a school trip, I had a nightmare about her. She was also going to die. I was terrified that it would happen like those other nightmares about Dad. I'm constently scared that something is going to happen. I always thaught that hese things happened to other people, not to my Dad! It's a terribly selfish thing to say but before that I was a kid and now I have been forced to grow up and face reality. I'm only 15! My Dad was only 40! Life isn't fair. It never will be and we have to accept it even if most of the time it seems inpossible. We all have to be brave! Love u Daddy! Your bigkid. XXXXXXXXX

Although my boyfriend and I were only together a little over a year, it was the most Complete year of my life. I always looked at him as if he were above words, some sort of angel. Hours before his accident I hugged him and told him that I loved him so much and nothing mattered as long as I had a piece of him. It is amazing to be left with that kind of closure. I was able to say everything I could. 10 days after the funeral I found out the night he died I became pregnant. Amazing, my son looks just like him. Almost two years has passed and I'm still grieving. But I will be strong and positive for my son.
