    About Me

    I am 17 and dealing with the loss of my brother Ian. This is the first serious loss that I've experienced, and im not sure how to go about it. I am a senior in high school, and i cant wait for college and the opportunity to really have my own life. I've been through some pretty rough stuff, but all in all it made me who i am, and I wouldnt change any of it. I am a very strong person, but sometimes I need that little extra push, and thats why i'm here.

    Interests

    i love music. I was a colorguard for 3 years, but this year, um, lets say our band program didnt quite work out. hehe. I'm random and funny and laidback and understanding, so anyone like that would be cool to meet. :]

      I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I know you miss him so much.I lost my 25 year old son a few months ago in August from a motorcycle wreck. I also have a daughter that is 17 years old like you, and she misses her brother very much just like you do. It is so hard on our whole family. She is also a senior in high school this year, so she has alot on her. I don't have any answers for you. My daughter (Paige) says when she starts missing him really bad, she keeps in ming that she will see him again one day, and that he is in a better place. My son and your brother are both in happier place. Pkease feel free to message me if you need to, and I will try to help. I am still grieving so much for my son. Hugs, Kelly

      I cry all of the time, just randomly. I'm not sure if its helping yet, but im sure it will eventually.
      Getting Angry Too Soon to Tell
      Whenever i think about the details of his death and why he did it and who could be responsible, wow, i get so angry. I picture myself punching walls, knocking things over, and when I talk to my mom about it i scream at her and get hysterical.
