Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for sharing your story. You are very brave to reach out in this way. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you have been going through in the past 5 months. All I can say is, keep moving forward. You are good to keep up with school--it is important for you to have something to focus on, even if it may be difficult for you. Have you made plans for Spring Break yet? I hope you are doing something fun.
Would you look into a support group at school for dealing with grief? Do you know any friends who have lost parents, or someone close to them? You are not alone, no matter how alone you may sometimes feel. Are you religious/spiritual at all? It may also help you to be with caring folks who can help you understand what's happened.
Keep talking. We're here to listen and lend support if needed.
Here is an article that may help you to know you are truly not alone: Coping With the Loss of a Parent
Take care of yourself,
Christine
