My dad had a heart attack when I was nine and passed away. Two years later. My mother committed suicide. I never quite recovered from it. The key is getting counseling and having the child talk. Even though it is hard. We never talked about it in my family. And I never got to share my feelings. Or be comfortable with opening up. Today I live a sheltered life and I'm 49
@@babyblue6743 exactly. Bereaved children need their living parent even more. Having children is like signing a life contract to put their lives before your own. You don’t get to quit when it gets tough.
Lost both parents in a 2 year span at 29 yrs old. Im 37 now.. its still.. i have no one to turn to..no one to give me advice.. no one to teach me from they're own mistakes.. its been almost 10 years now.. nothing left to me, anything ive ever gotten ive worked for. Its sad.. but.. it made a man out of me.
Lost my dad in 2016 and my mother last week. I'm 49 years old, and am alone. I was my mother's caretaker for the last 3 years of her life. I was with her the last 4 days of her life in hospice, and held her hand as she took her dying breaths... I'm devastated. 49 years old, and I'm lost.
I lost my single parent mother when I was 7 and just had a series or foster parents until I aged out of the system. It definitely causes lots of issues with attachment when you just expect everyone to "go away" after no more than 7 years.
1/3rd me is my Mom, 1/3rd me is my Dad, 1/3rd is me, just me. One day Mom and Dad passed away, Now just me and the 1/3rd that is still surviving inside me.
At 8 my abusive mother abducted us, my Dad spent everything to get us back, and then 4 years later got a brain tumour stage four given a year to live. Best the odds through a series of surgeries and treatments, ups and downs, living scan to scan every two months. Lost him in January. Devestating. I’m 21. How can I live without the beacon of light that always guided me.
It's really weird how talk about orphans only seems to apply to orphans who seem to have extra parents lying around to keep them on school and sports etc.

I’m so sorry. I hope you found some peace. I recently lost my mother as an adult. It is very tough. I can only imagine as a child.
I’m sorry but your mother shouldn’t have done that - I can never understand it, you needed her more than anything, she left u an orphan.
@@babyblue6743 It's a mental illness...

So sorry that happened. I hope you've been able to find some peace

I'm 20, lost my dad 3 years ago. Now my mom is at the hospital recovering from a stroke but I'm scared she may pass away too, soon....
I lost my only parent and the relative - mother when i was 23 and now i am 29
It's a great trauma for me...

I lost my dad in 2010, and lost my mother this week. I am 41. I don't know you, but you aren't alone. Need a friend hit me back.

The beacon of light….that’s beautiful….thats how I feel about my dad 🙏
My dad died last year and now my mom is closer to death than being alive …. Life can be so stressful 😢
My mother has just passed away 4 weeks after my dad
❤️🙏🏽

so i have to say that i disagree..keeping us active in sports is not good..wat about us we dont have that??
Yea this seems to only apply to rich kids. The only orphans worth helping. /s
