I lost my Father and my first Boyfriend when I was 15 years old. I didn't grieve for 2 years and became very hard. I don't believe I got over this until the birth of my first child 18 years later. We all experience grief differently but I felt that I was being punished by God for a good many years. Missing that person and wanting them back can create such a void in your life. I am now a spiritual person and don't believe anything dies. There love carries on in our hearts.
Thank you for sharing here. That had to be so very hard for a teen ager to process if at all. That is the sad part with children as a few decades ago, people simply thought some kids would just bounce back. Times have changed here in the US. Has it changed in the UK? We all hate the grief process, but it just can't be ignored even though we wish we could. :(
The grief process has no time line and it is never too late to work on this to assist a persons life. I know Yvette you did alot of this work too.
Thanks again for sharing this part of you!

No not much has changed here as regards to helping people with grief. The Doctor normal just perscribes an anti depressant. We are however getting more Telephone support groups for Children.
A Coach can really help people here with Grief. And places like this Forum can help to.
That is, sadly, true that doctors simply provide a pill. My college education and training in the counseling field tells me this simply isn't enough. A person needs a therapist and/or coach while taking this pill. Otherwise, it is only a temporary fix until the pill is no longer taken. It doesn't fix the grief. Sadly, too many people and some doctors think it is enough.
