Get Over It

This is the story of a youth struggling to come to terms with the death of his mother. It was written by me after meeting her and wondering how him and his dad would adapt. They get by with much help from friends.To do further research I helped out at a children's bereavement charity.

'Earlier that month, back home, I wasn't completely fazed when it dawned on me Mum couldn't make it. I should have known. Anyway, since then I agreed to come along to help my dad out. But I didn't want to come. I was doing him a favour, although why I should, I really don't know. After all he's never done anything for me.

Get over it? How could I? The main person in my life was gone...forever.'
