The James Logan Courier

One of the problems some teens face is the death of parents, which deeply affects the survivors' moods, attitudes and general outlook on life. The reason I know is that my mother recently died of lung disease.

Being a teen or a young child, it is hard to see your parent suffer through so much pain and misery. It is very hard to adjust to new way of living without a parent, not knowing what to do.

People tell you to stay strong, but it’s hard to when so many things are going through your mind. Death is a natural thing of life, but when a loved one dies it's like a nightmare that you haven’t awakened from yet.
