It is not unusual to struggle when you have experienced a traumatic event such as loss in your life.  Our emotions are deeply affected when that occurs and it often takes time and sometimes outside support to work through that loss.
Your mood swings and feelings of deep depression are not good for you and could get in the way of your day to day functioning.  Talk with your Mother about getting some professional help such as a counselor.  If you are reluctant to do that, talk with some adult that you trust.  Let them know how you are feeling and the fact that this seems to be getting worse, not better.  Perhaps your school counselor, or the minister at your church.

Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing.  If these feelings ever cause you to feel like hurting yourself, please share that with someone immediately.

Pat, Counselor
