Question
What do you do to cope with a loss of a loved one?
Answer
I am really sorry that you have lost someone you loved. It is painful and takes a log time to learn to live with missing them. Most important thing you can do is reach out to other people who will listen. Some communities have grief support groups, a doctor or counselor may be able to help, and we have a great site here to help you - check it out: http://www.pamf.org/teen/life/trauma/
