TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
just under two years ago my little brother C_____ had passed away at the age of 8. then about two months later my girlfriend, J_____ died at the age of 16 right in front of me inside the back of an ambulance after she passed out on a trail when we were running together. Now lately my current girlfriend, E____ age 18, has been hospitalized for the last month or so and has been diagnosed with Acute Interstitial Pneumonia which is a terminal disease. Now I'm really starting to get worried what's going to happen with her and i just don't know if i can deal with a third death of the only real close person to me.
