Oh, sweet Katelyn, I am so sorry for you and your sweet nephew! What a tragedy. You are being very brave. Have you discussed taking care of him with your parents? Even if you were to be his primary caregiver they would have to be involved. I know that you are still grieving, but have you thought about how you will finish school if you have the care of a baby? Really, honey, you need to discuss this with your parents. Ask your pastor if there are people at church who could help out. Maybe someone would provide child care during the day while you are at school. You must be a very mature 15 year old to be thinking of this in the midst of your grief. Your sister would be so proud of you. Talk to your parents. I'm sure they'll have some ideas. God bless all of you!

Having there dad gone, prob hit them really hard. You Just need to remind them that their daddie loves them and you guys mean everything to them. Maybe what they need to for you tl sit down with them and say. Okay, were going to write daddy a letter. Make it into a fun project. Seems to me they really miss their dad and They are not used to him being gone for this long. Having kids at that age they dont really understand what is really going on and how to handle it so they take it out on you and act up. But being to strict wont make things better. With out yelling at them to tell them what to do. Say it in a cool and clam way of love. Kids respond more to a clam and sweet voice then a high mean voice. with your little one that learning out to not wet her pants that can be hard not having your dad around. but you can also make that fun. if you are really having trouble with things at home. try getting some help from family memebers to take them off your hand a little big. GO to sea world or the zoo. or something out doors for a change. I wish you the best of luck. No one knows how to deal with their kids. better then their own mom.\nHanig in there. Even if on somedays. if you just want to realx. get their fav. baby-sitter or something. Make cookies, put on a play. Just be their for your kids.\n\nGood luck hope everything works out.

I send my deepest regrets to you and your family.You need to sit both fathers down and let them know that wither they approve or like one another they are part of this family and need to pull together for the sake of the child so that he can finish his grieving period over his mother.It seems as though the real father would have the claim over him,but your real father also needs to recognize that the love and bond between him and the step father,therefore he needs to set up a visitation time for them.If all else fails,maybe your little brother would be better in your hands if you are at the adult age limit to take him on.Good luck to you all and best of wishes!

First I'd like to express my condolences for your family's loss. People deal with grief in different ways, especially children who may not know exactly how to express how they're feeling. I think it would be beneficial to you and your kids to get some grief counseling to help you all sort through your feelings during this tough time. It would be good to go as a family for support, but individual sessions could be beneficial as well.

kids of that age are very hard work as any parent will tell you.  The first rule with out knowing your circumstances is not to try to replace the mother that i assume they have lost for what ever reason.  You must be the adult and keep respect on both sides.  As one of the other answerer's says try going to the park, have fun join in with them, give them your time it is worth more that any money.

The whole concept of death is alittle over the top for a four-year-old, nevermind the fact that you are talking about an event that most adults don't understand(Christ dying for our sins).  Most people feel out of their league when a child asks this question.  Maybe you should ask your pastor, priest, etc. how to deal with it.

When I was 14 my fave cousin died, he was 18.  It was a car accident.  It has been 13 years.  It took my about 11years before I could even talk about it.  Time is the only thing that can heal you.  It's ok to cry.  Maybe find someone to talk to.  It's hard.  I think about him everyday.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Try to think about the good times and  keep her memory going.  LOVE

I was 40 when my mom died. Today I'm 46 and still every once in a while I become very sad and even cry on occasion.  You were only 8 and you are now only 15.  The point I am trying to make is that the death of someone very close to us is difficult no matter our age at the time. But when you are a child you really don't understand all that is happening. Now as you mature and approach your adult life there are probably some issues about your grandfather and/or his death that were unresolved.  When you were 8 you were not prepared to deal with them.  Now you are able to and so your mind is letting them come up again. Our minds are strange things sometimes at night they dream things that scare the hell out of us. At other times they protect us from the things that really will hurt us.  I know that this is troubling for you and feel you need professional help to deal with it. Like others before me, I suggest you seek that help. Your parents and your doctor are good places to start.\n\nHope this helps you and Good Luck!

MY daughter and her boyfriend got his sister when his father passed away it will be 1year on the 19th of this month. They still have a mother (if you could call her that)alive but she walked away. Now they have to go to court that is what they were told by a Lawyer but since she is 17 they have decided to for go that. So my dear I would say to call social services to see what they suggest. I also live here in flint want to talk any time E-Mail me at kellipremo@sbcglobal.net Good luck

oh, honey. I'm so sorry you are going through this. You have to work out your own salvation. Your parents can't do that for you. You must raise your children in the way they should go and they shall not depart from it. I don't know what this C.O.C. believes and have no opinions in that matter. I do believe, though, that it is wrong to turn your back on your children. Look at the story of the Prodical (hope I spelled that correctly) son. He left with all of his inheritance and his father accepted him back.  I do pray that God will give you peace in your situation and that he will open a door for you to walk through that is right. Ask for wisdom and he will give it to you.

Wait until you get a little older and show your parents some responsibility....\n\nYou could also offer to pay for them

i have a nephew who was taken from us way too early. I would bring him back to live the life he never got to, to be with his parents that loved him so much, to play catch with his daddy, and have his booboos kissed away by his mommy, and to experience his first love. I love you HF.

Praise God that I have not lost a child, but I do want to encourage you, I was watching my distant mentor Oprah during a show about grieving the loss of a child, she had Dr. Phil on the show that day and he said something that I will never forget, he said, instead of mourning the death of your child, celebrate the life of your child because your child probably would want you to be sad.  That lady's daughter was 18 years old and he reminded her that she should celebrate the 18 years of life she had instead of the one day that caused her so much pain.  I don't know if you believe in God, but let me offer you this, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  Seek God during your time of grief and he will turn your tears of sorrow into tears of joy.  The joy of the lord is your strength, let his joy be the strength that gets you through each day!  I'm praying for you!

Grieve over him (but no more than two months) and move on. If you're in India, your parents are going to arrange a marriage for you anyway...find a nice boy to settle down with and enjoy him thoroughly.

unfortunantly theres not much you can do- I also was 12 when my parents divorced--it hurt my feelings really bad...but I think my advice to you would be to just let them know that you love them both and that you wish they could work things out--but that if they can't you still love them and want everyone to be happy. I think if I were in your parents situation that would help more than anything--its hard but- in time things will work out one way or another, I wish you the best and hope you and your parents are all happy in the end.
