I ask this because I'm writing an essay about the death of loved ones and grief and I was hoping to get a nice study sample going for it.

I would be fine. They've lived long, fruitful lives. Death of close relatives only bothers me when they haven't really had a chance to experience much which is why my little brothers' death got to me.​

It'd feel pretty surreal for awhile, but I haven't really been close to either of my parents since I was about 14 or so. So I guess my reaction would be alot different than someone with a good relationship with their fam.

A cousin of mines lost both parents within a year. Her mom was killed in a car crash and her dad had a heart attack in his sleep about 10months later. She was only 14 and was hurt having to bury both of her parents.

It took her some years to finally get over it because she had to be strong for her younger siblings who weren't old enough to really understand.

It would be extremely hard for first me at first. Both bent over backwards to work hard to instill in me the values of being a good person and getting an education. I owe all my success to them and God. Even if its over the phone, I take the time to speak with them everyday because I realize life is too short.

Having said that, them knowing how much I appreciate them makes it a lot easier on me. And with the amount of money I make, I know in their last years,they will live comfortably beyond their means. So eventually I would be at peace knowing how proud they are of me. They have said many times over that a child's success is a parents greatest accomplishment and joy in life.

I lost both already, dad when I was 4 and mom when I was 20...She passed 12/24/2009. That shyt still hurts...:sadbron: I suppose because she is going to be missing any and every event that occurs. She already missed key elements( marriage, birth of my son, etc..) I literally had a breakdown on her birthday last year( 10 days after mine.)I'm an only child so I don't have any siblings to share my grief. I recently met someone in this same situation (his parents died young.) I'm getting better.

:to: Pray for me brehs/brehettes

i've been thinking about this off and on for the past few months. i guess i've been realizing how i've been getting older and when i have conversations with my mother or my father i see how they're getting older as well. i don't know. i'm seeing the mortality in all of us. not only that, but i'm seeing what they've accomplished when they raised me and how a lot of those things have benefited me immensely. i've been thinking about how i'd like to bless them for what they done for me so they can go into their older years without problems and without struggling anymore. they're getting older basically. so, based on my recent thoughts, thoughts where i've been reflecting on them wanting to do more for them, i'd be left with a hole if i wasn't able to do that and if they, God forbid, died soon. truth be told, if i lost them now i'm sure i would be in hell just because of my recent thoughts...

At first, it crossed my mind (I was going through it!), I felt empty as fukk. All lonely and what not. But I eventually withdrew from everybody, kind lost all emotion. I didn't give a fukk no more that is for sure. I was vulnerable and desperate. I was 5 hours away when she died and our last conversation wasn't the most savory. We exchanged I love you's though. I just couldn't grasp the fact that I didn't have anyone in my corner... I was delusional. I constantly called her phone the whole drive back home. My uncle picked up crying and all he could say was " I'm sorry, Mac. She gone."


I was bitter as fukk, especially New Years. When I thought about someone who disrespected their mom, I would be pissed and think "Why couldn't it happen to you, instead."
