agony dealingwithgrief death depression grief loss penelopegray sadness tears

This story follows the life of one young Penelope Gray as she learns to deal with the loss of her mother at the age of 17, and tries to remember how to live life like it matters. This is not a happy story. This is a story about death, loss, grief, and looking for hope. This story covers pretty sensitive subjects, and may be upsetting at points. But if you're going through something similar, this may just be helpful in some way, even if only to show that you're not alone. This story is based on my own experiences, with some names and titles changed for safety reasons. My hope is that those close to me can understand perhaps what I'm going through, and that maybe- just maybe- I can use this as a way to reach out to someone else going through a tragedy.All Rights Reserved

Matching Leather Jackets by cookiesinjanuary

Penelope "Dot" Frost; Independent, vicious, vexatious, angry, stoic, quick-witted, smart-mouthed, lonely, and as some would suggest, insane. Everything eighteen-year-old Penelope loves is either gone or being snatched from her weakening grasp. She struggles to raise her sister under the heavy hand of her father, cope with loss that is way overdue and recently reminiscent, and the returning presence of a beloved, arrogant ex-best-friend that betrayed her trust, formally known as Blake Adams. With all of these things occupying her life, Penelope does what she can to hold onto her bearings. She has to make choices that will build her up and break her down. What, and who, will she choose? UNEDITED with MANY TYPOS, a few clichés, and PLOT HOLES (began writing this when I was 14, bare with me).* Read at your own risk. *There are stereotypes in this story that I have sense learned from. I've debated taking this story down to fix them, as I see how distasteful they are. I have yet to rewrite this story as I do not have the time, but please know that I have a different outlook on the world than I did 7 years ago.

Always light the candles by dddfakeddd

We are too drunk and he is too close and even though we are in a room full of people, we are too alone. -------------------------- Notes: This fan fiction is dedicated to people who have experienced loss, people who were bullied, who struggled with their sexuality and or their race. People who use humour as their coping mechanism. People who feel like outcasts and freaks. People who fell in love with their best friends. You are not alone. You are Albus. And this is our story. It is also dedicated to grief, for showing me the true price for love. And most importantly dedicated to my one and only best friend. This story would not have seen the light of day, had our paths not diverged and our friendship not quietly scattered to the winds. In the closing of chapters, I made sure that the echo of our promises that we once held were not just words, but something truly heard. I will never not think of you during storms. Make sure to leave your thoughts and enjoy ;) This story can be also found on Ao3.
