How can I keep my family together?

Question

My family is falling apart. We used to be so happy, my older cousins would come and visit almost every week. Everyone was alive and full of energy. It was just amazing.

But then people started to die. Like my great grandmother, had some disease and died in pain. Then my grandmother died from cancer. My aunt died from a tumor because the doctors couldn't catch it in time. Really, the list goes on and on. I won't bore you though, don't worry. But then, my cousins got older, and started driving and going to college. So, they don't need the family anymore. My grandma (she basically raised me) has a horrible knee problem and needs a wheelchair, so I always have to be the one to take care of her.

So..

This "family" is just barely holding on. I'm 14 and already have so much going on. I have school, a bf, taking care of g-ma, and it's just.. ah! I'm going crazy.

...Any ideas how to keep them all together?

Answer 1

I guess it is normal for our older relatives to pass on, plus our sibling to grow up and move on. Life is never stagnant it is full of change.  It need not be negative change though.

We can find new ways of doing things to  make new traditions. We can start inviting other people we love into our lives that support us and love us too. They need not always be family.

But tell your cousins etc., that once month or whatever you'd like to all meet up for a fun day to keep the family spirit alive. They might take up your offer.

You have a lot of responsibility for a child of 14 so try and put some fun back into your life.

Hmmm you must really need help if your asking for it online.

Basicly make every effort to let everyone in your family know that you love them and then spend time with them. One on one is something.

Don't expect overnight results. & if you never see result's then at least you know you did everything you could. & this is why god made friends. Your 14 so there can be also some issues that your family doesn't think your old enough to handle yet about them/

Talk your grandmother about this issue if all else fails.

Hope this helps
