Lonely

Feeling lonely can be because your parents are either sick or busy caring, so you might feel like you have been forgotten, or perhaps you feel lonely because none of your friends understand how you are feeling.

You are also probably missing your parent you love when they were well.

Ways to Cope

• Talk to friends, or write them letters to tell them how you feel

• Spray some perfume, aftershave, soap, hand cream or anything that reminds you of your parent onto a cuddly toy or your jumper

• Throw a cuddly toy across the room

• Draw or write down all the people who love you or are there for you. Click to see My Paperchain People activity
