    Time eventually heals all wounds.  Just give it time, before you know it, it'll be over.  Just hang in there.

    As horrible a thing as the death of another person can be, I really don't feel that this is the type of group that would benefit you in this moment of grief.  I would suggest going outside, or at least turning off your computer, and talking to real people, as that would help more than any faceless, type-written communication ever could.

    I lost someone I fancied due to medical complications, It hurts for a while,until it becomes a dull ache you only remember buring long periods of inactivity. The hardest thing I being able to not kid yourselt that their still alive, which is very hard

    A friend of mine died this summer. I always joked with him in Chem. He got in a Car crash and he was the one to die. This was the day I left for California...

    Not to sound rude but I cannot agree more.

    Many people come here and post so many things about their lives.  I think some posters forget the average age here is around 13-16.  At that age, with so little experiences, this is most certainly not the place to come for advice on death and other personal issues.  We are not a teen help center, and we are most certainly not the people you should be talking to.

    Well, still, we can provide a little consolation. These guys are right, this isnt exactly the place. We are still people, and not everyone has someone to talk to all the time. I'm only 15, but was there to see first hand the death of my friend's dad from a heart attack. Death is a terrible thing that leaves a mark on you, and it makes you see things in a different light. Coming in contact with it, It will mature you, make you appreciate life more. My advice to you, is to think about it real good. Set aside some time to just put on some music and lay down and think about it, than, call up a good friend and talk about it for a while. I guarantee it will feel more resolved after that.
