How do you cope with a death of a loved one?

Question

I just went through a rough time with the death of my 15 yr old boyfriend. He killed himself..im 14 what are a few ways that I can learn to cope with this without going for therapy?

Answer 1

There are support groups for survivors of suicide and they are pretty much free. Also, you could talk to a counselor at school, they are supposed to provide counseling when one of the kids dies. I am sorry for your pain.

Answer 2

hi. im sorry to hear about your boyfriend. my dad died 2 days before i was due to give birth to his first granddaughter. i was so upset that my boyfriend was worried my emotions would effect the baby. because she was 2 weeks late i was also pregnant when i attended his funeral. my family was so supportive and no one could enough to help me, but i didnt want all that. the best thing for me was to be left on my own and wait til i was ready to talk to them first about it. i finally cried most when my daughter was born 6 months ago. it was the best and saddest day. i had a daughter but my dad should of been there. i had to stay strong for my babys sake. if giving yourself a bit of time dont work then find something else to focus on. 5 years ago my 4 year old brother also died of cancer, its hard and takes a long time but you will be better soon. at least you stil got your memories in your head, they can never be taken away from you, find strength in them. xxxxxx

Answer 3

I've never had a loved one die. What you could do is stay home, and maybe get some inaminate object (like a teddy bear) that you can tell everything you feel, all you want to talk to it about, and cry.

Answer 4

hey..thats sad..u can seek comfort from your close friends and family if possible...think positive and things will be all right after some time...time heals every pain..remember the good times you spent together .

Answer 5

Just isolate yourself and cry it out. Seek lots of comfort and love and support from both your friends and your family.
