I've just thought about what my life would be like if my parents were dead and want to ask...?

Question

Has anyone here lost a parent or both parents? If so, did you/your life change dramatically after they were gone?

I was thinking since I still young and live with parents and what if they happened to disappear tomorrow... How would I feel knowing I'm all by myself now in the World? How long would it take for me to adjust to this new stage of life?

For anyone who has lost a parent or both parents, how did you cope knowing you're alone (parents-wise) now in the World and how long did it take you to adjust to this new stage in your life?

Answer 1

my dad has been dead now 15yrs and i still miss him the pain eases but you never stop missing them, I still can hear him telling me off when needed and still wonder what he would have made of the mistakes i've made in life since he has been gone.

Answer 2

look , it really do depends on ur age n ur circumstances , i lost my father when i was 4 yrs old but i had my mum and i cried 4 a month n that's it .. n here i'm..but i didn't try losing both of my parents.. but if u r old enough to take care of urself then u will take ur time 4 a while which is not a rule it depends on the person , it's different from someone 2 another but if u r young really young so this is another matter n u will have 2 find someone to replace them so u can move on

Answer 3

well i haven't, i mean, i've never known my father, he left before i was born, and i wish my mom would die, but she hasn't, and please dno't judge me for that, u don't know anything of it.

but i've had friends who have lost parents. one was happy actually, he had abusive parents and so when they died he was free and went to live with his aunt and uncle, he tells me it's great there and he loves it.

and another lost his parents, he was devistated, but able to cope and go on after some time. he was already in his upperteens though, i think he was 15 when it happened, so he got amincapated and everything. he's doing well too now from what i've heard.

then there's always the sad cases of kids who lost their parents and couldn't do anything of it, fosterhomes and such.

if i lost my mom, i'd rejoice. i could do fine on my own, i already practiallcay do.

but for those ion good homes with loving parents, just treasure what u have and don't look to the worst unless ur there, prepare for it, but don't think of it. ^_^

Answer 4

My parents died within 7 months of each other in 2000, I'm still not over it. In both their cases they had been ill for a long time, I prayed until my knees were bruised, I took them to different Doctors always hoping the new one would have a cure.

When I finally realized nothing could be done for them, I prayed again..but this time I asked God to help me get through what I knew was coming.
