    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

Jess - 13 years old

What I want to show people is that I know that you think you are never going to be happy again but you will.

I was 11 when my mum got cancer and 12 when she died. Ever since people have kept asking me if i was ok. I really hate that. What i want to show people is that i know that you think you are never going to be happy again but you will.

You should never keep your thoughts locked up. If you need to speak to someone the best person to speake to is a friend. People say i have inspired them to try and be happy. Because i also know what it is like to let a loved one go, I know she is in a better place and that makes me feel better.

I know that she always loved me and I will always love her, but I want to be happy, and i want all my family to be aswell. thankyou .. jess...
