My boyfriend's grandma has just passed away. How should I deal with him?
Grieving can take many forms. It is said there are five stages and that it can take up to 2 years to go through them all, but know that not everyone experiences all of them, or does them in the same order and some people stay in the cycle and never leave it.The most important thing you can do is avoid forcing him to go to a step he is not ready for. This will come back to bite him and you later on very badly.This will require immense patience.Let him grieve and be with him. He may or may not be able to speak about it. Sometimes a person just wants to cry a lot for a while until they are so exhausted and decide they need to start talking. Try to see the tears as a need to let go, rather than as anything that is designed to discomfort you, so avoid taking any of his actions at this time personally. Once he is ready to talk, ask him to tell you about her, what she meant to him and what he gained from knowing her. It may be positive for him to create a project box about her, a box of memories, where he puts inside pictures of things that he feels connect him with her. It may help him to write her a letter, saying what he wants her to know.This can be very powerful.You can also read up about how to help someone grieve. The simplest way forward is to ask him what he needs at this time and what you can do that will help him the most (avoid using phrases like 'help you move on' because this exerts pressure). Let him set the pace and walk with him. He will love you for this. But be prepared for this to take a long while to play itself out. Grieving can't be rushed to suit someone else. If you expect this, it will drive him away from you.
I'm 17 and I wanna leave my house.?
Okay. I'm 17 years old and ever since my mom has married this man, I have hated living here ever since. He's mentally and emotionally abusing to me and my brothers. I've seen messages where he has bought drugs off of people. He has anger issues. Whenever something doesn't go his way, he yells and throws things. He cusses at us. And keeps me trapped up in my house. He's wished that the house would burn to the ground one evening. He's cheated on my mom and then came back to live with us. All I want to know is, since my grandma told me I could move in with her. Can I leave my house without my parents knowing? I'm unhappy here and will be 18 next year. My grandmas house is a much more safe environment for me... But my parents won't agree to just let me move..Any advice on how I should handle this.
How do I tell my grandma I stole money from her?
A few weeks ago my grandma and my step grandma were over at my house for my brothers graduation, and I stole $20 from my grandma and $60 from my step grandma but I told my friend and my mom read the messages so I got caught. So now my mom is making me drive to their houses to confess that I stole money from them, and I don't really know what to say besides I'm sorry and it was wrong. I want to make it sound sincere and I do feel a little guilty but I just don't really know what to say.
I had a dream of my grandma and grandpa (Yes they are deceased) what does this mean?
Well I went to bed around 10pm and i don't know how far in my sleep i started the dream,but at first i had a Dream of me and my mom walking through a haunted place and we where seeing ghost like figures and scary things,and all of the sudden i snapped out of that dream and into me standing in front of my grandparents porch,talking to them (like i used to do when i was really young) and my grandmother had really strange colored eyes (like a bluish murky color) and my grandfather was talking to me and he said ''How are you doing today darling?'' (he ALWAYS would ask me that whenever we went to there house) and i didn't reply,but in the next second i was on the porch with them,and my grandfather was hugging me and said ''don't leave'' and i didn't know what was going on,and then I awoke.. [Background:My grandmother died in her sleep,from a medication over-dose.(I believe) and my grandfather died in the hospital..from a hernia.and the last time i visited him in the hospital i hugged him and said ''I hope you don't leave''. Was he giving me some kind of message? or was it just them visiting me? Please let me know.. P.S i've never in my life had a dream like this one

My ex girlfriends grandma has died, should I contact my ex?
My ex girlfriend split up with me about 3 months ago suddenly but we haven't been in contact with her for 2 months and we sort of ended on bad terms, she said that she wanted to be alone and sort her life out on her own for a while but I think she went back to her ex who cheated on her before me. I'm not sure though but please read my previous question for exactly what happened and where I stand: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmRpnF9M6Q1.tHg4RupGTeDty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20110204174224AAZ9CWb Her grandma was quite ill around the time when we split up and we did visit her in her Old Peoples Home but i've found out she died a couple of days ago. I found this out from a post her sister in law put on facebook saying R.I.P. Grandma (surname). I'm still friends with her family on facebook but my ex did blocked me on facebook when we split up. I just don't now if I should contact her and say something like my thoughts are with her and her family at this time, or if its going to open a can of worms. People have told me to stay no contact with her but I feel like I should say something as I know her and her family will be upset. But I don't want it look look like i've stalked her as she's not told me herself. Thanks, I hope you can help with my predicument. Also if you could let me know if you've read my previous question would help too.
