I'm very sorry for your loss :( but seeing as you are talking im assuming that means you are getting better? so thats good. Well i dont really know what to say so ill say im proud you are coping well enough to share with the wonderful big VT family :)

I can understand what you are going through as my grandfather had died 4 months ago and I know how I felt as even my parents thought that I can take care of myself.
In my case a week of counseling helped me.
You can feel free to pm me.

see! theres someone who knows :)

sorry for your loss..
glad you were able to get help..
i refuse to go to counseling tho. i did when i was younger and it never helped

As a student representative of our school's counseling board I can tell that, that all counselors are not good enough. They don't even listen completely what the patient has to say. Finding a good counselor is really difficult but worth doing.

Hey, I'm extremely sorry for your loss, I too lost my 2 week year old sister, And I still can't cope, I know exactly how you feel, Everyday I think about her, About how my life would be different with her.
I'm only 14 but my parent's can't help me either, I've tried counselling, everything but nothing worked, I just want you to know that your not alone and could speak to me whenever you wanted or feeling down, I know it's hard to even try to get over it, but in time you will as will I.

I was a peer counselor for 4 years and i have dealt with death and loss for quite a few years. there is not much o f my family left. I want to say ill be there for you whenever you need someone PM me anytime because I know what your going through and hopefully i can help. Keep your chin up and I'm so glad you sought help and came here.

My sister died almost a month ago and I can tell you that I know that very few things in this life compare to the loss of a sibling who died too young. Most people can't understand what it's like because most people don't go through it. I'm not going to go as far as to say that I understand because I know that two people can go through something similar and feel different about it, but I want you to know that someone else on this site gets it. As much as I wish I didn't know what it was like to lose a sibling, I do.
And if you ever want to talk to someone who has been through it about it, I'm totally open to that.
