My own experience was that my daughter needed to grieve the loss of our family unit. My son took it much more in his stride. You are there for her whilst she works it out - she will be fine, in her own time. xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-13873154776528385392010-12-07T13:58:05.094+00:002010-12-07T13:58:05.094+00:00I can't help but think at Tall Girl's age ...I can't help but think at Tall Girl's age everything affects her more emotionally, only natural for a teenager.
