TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hi,
Thank you so much for contacting TEEN LINE. I am so sorry that your dad died. It is normal to feel lonely and misunderstood when a you lose a parent. Maybe it would help if you tried talking to your school conselor or a trusted adult about the way you are feeling. I don't know where you live in TX, but i found grief support that might be close to you. It's The Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas at 210-736-4847. If they aren't close, you could ask them for a referral near your area . It can really help to share the way you are feeling with other teens who have may have lost a parent as well. Also, you can call us here at TEEN LINE from 6:00pm-10:00pm pst every day if you just want to talk. Our number is 310-855-4673.
