How I did it: I don't think I've done it completely yet because I still do it every once in a while but not every night like before. With me, I mostly cried because when I was 8 my older brother moved away and that broke my heart because I was attached to him but that's not the reason I cried. Two years after that my other brother died in a car accident and two years after that my sister died of epilepsy. So, when I was 12, all my siblings were gone and yet everybody expected to be happy and told me not to cry because my parents were sad. So I would cry at night. I was alone. With time, I stopped crying because I realized that they weren't coming back and although I miss them just the same, it's easier to go to sleep at night...for me, time was the cure. Now, I'm almost 17 so that went on for about 4 years.
