Feeling depressed

[Angel of the Stars]

I really do feel much better after reading all of your guys' comments.
Sure, I'm still depressed about it, but you all supporting me is making a real, huge difference.
I thank you all so much!

Found out my cousin's visitation is tomorrow. Woop-dee-doo.

Still not happy he's dead; why would I be?
Gah!! Now I'm falling behind in my classes and my mom's scolding me for it; how fun.

I think your schoolwork should suffer, at least for a week or so, seeing you were close to your cousin, Angel of the Stars. Grieving is normal, just do not let it rule your life, you should grieve for a while, then gradually, cease.

[QUOTE=Kuo-Yi;223573]I'm crying for real right now. I know about this news by your email already, but I still want to tell you here how sorry I am. After all, you're one of the nicest people I know both in real life and on the Internet. 98% people at school hate me. Today a teacher accused me for cheating when I didn't do it, then asked me to clean the classrooms. You're a million times nicer than these people and a good friend. Therefore, I'll pray for your cousin. And you.

(Edit) I feel so sorry for all of your losses, guys. (Prays)

Thank you so much, Kuo-Yi.
You're one of the best friends I've ever met; we could practically be sisters, we're so alike and so close!
I thank you for praying for Darin and praying for me and for others who have lost their loved ones. I hope I never have to lose you before we meet, Kuo-Yi. [/QUOTE]

Certainly not, we're staying friends forever! And by the time I go back to Canada, who knows? Maybe I'll be a manga artist already.

I wish my mom thought the way you do!

Well, I should have said that it should not be thought unusual that your grief affects your school performance, all the more so, because you are a child, & emotion is more influential than reason is, & this usually remains so, until the late 20s.

I am not the one to say how long the grieving period should last, but as I understand it, your mom may be concerned that you may be grieving too intensely, & taking too long to recover from it. Maybe you should ask her if she ever lost a close relative when she was young, & how it affected her.

Thank you again, jeffbert. You're very kind and supportive; I can't thank you enough!

You are very welcome, Angel of the Stars.
So has any adult relative related to you a story of his own grieving over a loved one's demise?

[Earthshine]

You're always welcome Angel of the Stars. :3
