A Story of Resilience
“Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been different if he hadn’t died when I was so young, and I wonder if he were alive, what would he think of me and my life now?”

How does one explain death to younger siblings?

No one can fill the position of your parent. No one can replicate the relationships they had with others and the memories they created.

It will often feel like you have to “man up.” But what does that mean?
What can I do about pimples? And when should I seek treatment for my acne?
My mom can be completely embarrassing around my friends. Sometimes they come over, and she doesn’t know how to “play it cool” or be “one of the guys” like my dad did. Sometimes she tries to watch the football game with us like my dad did. How do I tell her that we need our space, without hurting her feelings?
