MysticR Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I don't know how much you guys know about me, but I'm seventeen years old. My dad died last Wednesday, and the funeral was today. The semester also happened to have ended on Thursday, meaning I missed that day and missed most of the exams. So I have to make those up, while grieving. I don't know how often I'll be around until next weekend, but I think you guys deserve to know what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister E Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Close deaths are the HARDEST, only time can heal the wounds and even that will probably take forever. Being an optimist I always deal with death by celebrating the life that was, and by having faith that the deceased is in a better place. I wish you all the strength you need to keep keeping on.

Chromatic Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I've never had anyone in my immediate family die, so I won't pretend to know how it feels. My prayers go out to you and yours, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I think what Mister E said sums up my feelings. I am sorry for your loss, and my thoughts go out to you. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomf Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I experienced the same thing senior year of high school. You're gonna feel like crap for a while and regret alot of things; however, my best advice is to spend a lot of time with your family. Not your friends, not mudding, and don't try to fill the void by mudding or any other hobby. Just spend time with your family. It's better to grieve with others than alone. My condolences.

MysticR Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I'm already feeling a little bit better. The funeral was yesterday, and I spent the rest of the day playing on Xbox live on my new LCD HDTV. Hehe. Well, I think I've grieved and the best thing I think I can do is move on. I will probably hop on the mud on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tick Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Alot of people will tell you what's best for you when grieving, but only you know what's best. That's my advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudder Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Like everyone already said. Thats rough. Though you'll be fine in the end. I've never had to go through any close family deaths, but my girlfriend has gone through some devastatingly traumatic events. Shes fine now though. It's not about getting over it, as much as it is moving on. Some things you'll never "get over" but you can very well deal with it. I think thats what most people mean by that.

Dizz Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 That happened to me when I was 14. It will be hard for a while but being back in a routine should help some. It did me. I returned to school about a week after, being around the house all the time drove me crazy. I was a mess, but I made it through. About your grades, talk to your teachers about it, they can be very understanding. They will probably let the exam points slide as an excused absence. My teachers excused me from most things after I returned. I especially appreciated not being present when my 1st period agriculture class was outside castrating sheep. Anyway, talk to your family or school counselor about worries or whatever. Goodluck and take it one day at a time. *hug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
