im 15 and my mom just died from cancer

im 15 years old and my mom just died from lung cancer!! and i beat myself up everyday because of it i feel like i couldve been a better daughter or i couldve helped more so she wouldnt haave died so soon. i miss my mom everyday and i dont know how to deal with it and none of my friends know what to say so they go on with life and think im okay but im not. im dead inside and i cant go on living. i think of suicide like every single day i cant deal with the pain. my mom was such an amazing influence on my life. and not to add to the stress or anything but my aunts thought it would be a good idea to put me in a foster home that i am so unhappy with but my brother likes it so i dont say anything. i didnt have a father but my aunts couldve easily took me in. i also am having trouble with coming out to people im a lesbian and i have only told close friend but i want to telll everyone i know but i dont want to lose people i know and care about. so there is so much crap going on in my life and i cant move on from my mom death and shes been gone for 2 months now. but im sick and tired with life and i hate it. i am also having trouble in school cause i cant focus on anything and i have no motivation in my life anymore i dont care what happens anymore. i have found out that i also may have cancer, bone cancer. and i dont even care usually i would freak out but i dont even care that i have a tumor on my femur. i need help i know i do but no one is helping.

  • Dear ryry184,  I wish I could give you a hug, I can feel how desperate you are feeling and my heart goes out to you.  Please know that you don't have to go through this alone, it is very important that you talk to somebody at school.  Most secondary schools have a good pastoral system in place who will help you once they realise the immense pain you are going through.  Please find a teacher or a teaching assistant/learning support assistant who you feel you can talk to and tell them how you are feeling.  Most schools will work closely with outside agencies such as social services etc so it would be a good start, also they can support you with your school work.  As Max said the Samaritains are always there at any time of the day or night when things seem too bad to cope with anymore.

    The pain you are feeling will begin to heal but it will take a long time and you need support now.  I lost my Mum 2 months ago as well as my Dad recently and as an adult I have been in a complete state, I cannot imagine how bad you are feeling going through this at such a young age.  Your friends probably don't have the experience to know what to say to you or how to reach out to you.  This site is an amazing virtual support but you need professional hands-on support now, so please, please speak to somebody about how you are feeling and please come back here and let me know how you are doing. Hope x
