HelpingTeens: Support Groups

on August 2, 2006 Momma Sharon past away. this is my friends mother. we had the funeral and a memorial service friday. the memorial service was at the local wrestling arean which her son and her ran. how can i be there for him and let him know how much i want to be there for him. how can i help him, can i help him. he helped me when i lost my uncle. i gave him my number again and told him to call me, if he needed anything, even if it is just a baby sitter. i love him like a brother. i feel as if i lost my second mom. her smiling face was enough to make everyone happy and to do their best. bowling will never be the same again. i was on her team. she taught me how to bowl. i miss you Momma Sharon.

just be there for him as he was there for you.........let him know he's not alone, and be a shoulder to cry on.....let him know that even if he feels he has to be strong its ok to let tears flow, to break down if he needs to........thats probably what he needs to hear the most.

I agree, you need to be supportive. Call him and talk to him. Let him know that he can come to you. I'm sorry for your loss but always remember - she may not be here in person, but she will always be with you.
