My aunt is dying, how can I as a 13 year old handle it?

Question

she is dying of bone cancer

Answer 1

spend as much time with her as you can. tresure the memories. after it happens the only thing that can really comfort you is thinking this really sucks, but i guess its for the best. after about 6months thats when te whole shes in a better place, she doesnt feel pain anymore, and all that junk starts to help you. im sooo sorry.

Answer 2

that is very sad im very sorry, there isnt any thing that will make it all better, just try to keep your self busy and if you need to cry just do it. i know it cant even come close to what you are going through but my dog just died and we have had her since i was very little and i had a very hard time, but it helped me to remember all the good times I had with her you may want to try this or talk about it with someone.

Answer 3

Its not easy for anyone at any age. When i was 13 my mom was given 90 days to live, she had/has cervical cancer. She fought it and all the doctors were very suprised. I am now 20 and it is back for the 3rd time. Its very hard, and not easy to watch someone you love go thru.

Its all up to god. Just pray if you are comfortable with it.

For me, its hard. I think about why god would do something like this to such a good person.

Also, talk to your mom if thats an option... She might have some advise to help you thru everything.

Answer 4

There is no way to make it any easier,spend as much time as possible with her,make some stuff with her(like crafts)so you will have something extra special to remember by.Also remember to whenever you see her to let her know how special she is to you.I just wish I had done stuff like that with my uncle before he died.I'm sorry for what you will be going through,I know it all to well.

Answer 5

When I was ten, my aunt died because of breast cancer. Spend time with her and when she dies, don't trip about it, just remember the good times you had. I got over her death in a few months and I don't think about her that much anymore. She died in 2002 after having it for 6 years. But she was healthy for 5 of those years.

Answer 9

My father in law passed away last winter and my 13 year old handled it well. He was able to visit his grandpa in the hospital and realized his grandpa was very ill and had no quality of life.

He was able to understand that when grandpa died, he was no longer in pain, but with God in Heaven.

Answer 10

Spend all of your free time with her. play board games. Write a diary with her. Plan a day where you guys can go shopping. Whatever you can with the time.

Pray to God for a miracle.

When I was 10/11 my Grandpa and Great-Grandma passed away and that was the worst thing ever. I cried straight through their funeral but than I remembered the great memories.

Answer 11

im so sorry my uncle died last year and i was 13 he also had cancer it was so hard but i just tried to remember the good times we had when he was healthy

im very sorry and i know what your going through but just try to think of what makes her happy and remember things you two did together and spend all the time you can with her

and just remember that she is going to go to a beautiful place where she won't hurt and there is no sorrow and remember that she well never leave you she will always be with you in your memories and in your heart

Answer 12

Spend as much of your time with her as you can. It will be hard to handle it, trust me, but eventually you'll realize that grieving will only make things worse. When my relatives die, I just think of how many fun times I had with them. I hope you feel better soon, and make sure you tell yor aunt how much you love her. Hopefully, a miracle will happen and your aunt will get better, but even if that doesn't happen, just remember that her love will always be with you, no matter where you go in life.

I hope  you feel better soon.

Answer 13

Try to spend some time with her;-} see if she needs help.

At least talk to her about her childhood & growing up.

These are precious moments;-} we all have to go eventually.

Answer 14

i am SO SO SORRY!just be with her with these last few minutes..and pray and just be with her

Answer 15

Spend as much time with her as you can. If she is strong enough, plan a picnic or an outing and bring a tape recorder along. Ask her questions: If you could tell my future children one thing, what would it be. What is the most important thing you have learned in life, etc.

Then, get this book, "90 Minutes in Heaven" I think it will open your eyes and help you to see dying in a different light.

Answer 16

try to spend as much time as you can with her or you can make a memory box by putting everythink she gave to you in that box

** god bless**
