Dealing With Loss
Recently I read a book called Letting Go of Lisa . It was about a boy, Nathan, who lost his sister years ago. He has grown up now and has developed feelings for a biker chick, Lisa. But Lisa has a secret, she has been diagnosed with brain cancer. Soon , Lisa dies, leaving Nathan alone again to deal with his loss. Have you ever read, experiences, or written about the loss of a loved one?

I think everyone goes through some kind of loss and it really is hard to go on after it. Awhile back when my brother around 1 my great-grandfather -even though he was always strong and sturdy, and we always thot he live to his nineties- died at 88. my great-grandmother was so distraught she could even bear to look at his things lying around in the house. But neither did she let anyone move anything. Plus my mom and grandma cryed for days.. my brother hardly even met my great-grandpa at all.
I have read experiances simialar to Leting Go of Lisa in the writing of Edgar Allen Poe, when he was only 5 his mother died then when he got foster parents they died when he was 24 then his wife died leaving him iinto a very depressesd man.They all died of the same disease tuberculosis just like the biker chick who died of brain cancer. Just like nekocat said everyone goes through some sort of loss unfortunately some are wors then others
Me and my friend have experianced something like Nathan. I was very close to my friends grandma. She died about a year ago, she died from a heartatact. This is alike because we both had lost some one we grew very close to and my freinds grandmas had a secert to.Her seceert was that she smoked and the doctor said that was that cauuse of death
I read a book called, Mick Harte Was Here. This book is about a girl whose brother dies in a bike accident. All of a sudden this family of 4 turns into a family of 3 and they have to deal with this loss. AT firts thte parents ignore their daughter, truly realizing the amount of saddness she has. They don't give her the attention she needs. Finally by the end, they come together as one to deal with the loss. I think that that is the most important thing when it comes to losses of loved ones, dealing with it together, and not pretending like nothing happened. Have you ever heard the oxymoran, "Let's be lonely together?" This is exactly what I'm saying! ...Agree?
I have had to deal with loss in my family it is veryy upsetting and your life is never the same after it happens
