Teens and how they deal with Death

[jacquie4000]

My son has had an extremely hard year. His best friend Evan died on August 13th 2010 in a fatal car accident. Then only four months later four more teens died in
his school another one a close friend. It just seems his lust for life is gone.
We have always been close but this is the one thing he seems to shut me out on.
Sometimes I just feel so much at a loss on what to do. I see him visit his friends
web page and write to him tears rolling down his face. I read his post and I am
so heartbroken at his pain.

I'm so sorry.

He might benefit from counseling. My 15 year old went for a little under a year back when she was 13, and it did wonders for her.

Thanks Anne he has had couseling, it helped some but he struggles so much and he is just not the same person. I know their is no time frame on healing it is just so hard to see someone who was so full of life love and adventure become what he is now.
