First of all, I am very sorry about your Mom. I lost my Mom when I was 13; this was very hard for me. I hope that you are recieving counseling for this; it will help you tremendously in the future. Talking to a school counselor will be great for you; I didn't seek talk to anyone and that was a big mistake. I am 34 now and I still miss her. Back to your question, I will explain it in the simplist way possible; this is how I explained it to my daughter:
There is a part of your body called your "uterus"; this holds a teen-tiny baby. The uterus has a bed made out of tissue, blood, and minerals. This is the baby's "bed'. If the baby is not there, no unprotected sex or anything, then there is no need for the "bed" and the "bed" needs to be "made" again, for the next month. If there is a baby there, you will not see your period, this is why when most women do not see their periods, after initally having it, of course, they take a pregnancy test. The bed comes out of you vagina.
You may experience cramping, nausea, and be a bit crabby. This is normal. One day you may feel tired and you may fell like you have diarrea or have "stomach cramps." Along with this, you may itch A Lot down there. I say"may" because you may not have any of these signs; all of or bodies are not the same. Don't be afraid, all of us have gone though this. Please talk to a female family member; she is not your Mom, but she could give you great insight. G-D Bless, Darling.
