    I stuck my head round the door in the room mum was in, and she looked really ill. I couldn't understand what was happening - one minute my mum was fine and the next she was ill.  more...

    Rirrif - 15 years old

    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

Jazz - 14 years old

I spent the last few days with him in the hospice, he was unconscious for the last couple of days but i still spoke to him as i'm sure he knew i was there.

My dad died last week and i feel really sad and angry, i dont know what to do. I have told a few of my friends but didnt know how to tell them. He had been ill for quite a long time, we had only just come back from a holiday in Scotland and he went to have a scan. On the same day he was taken into the hospice and told he had kidney failure, I was extremely confused as we all had enjoyed our holiday only a couple of weeks ago. I spent the last few days with him in the hospice, he was unconscious for the last couple of days but i still spoke to him as i'm sure he knew i was there. I went to the funeral and many of his friends and family were there, it was a lovely service. I have taken a few days off school and i'm not sure whether to go back or not. I missed a couple of SATs, but my family say i shouldn't worry about them if i dont feel well enough to go into school.
