RE: 20 Things You Don't Know About Losing a Parent

in #family7 years ago

Hi @fredrikaa, thank you for your comment. I'm glad I was able to help at least one person from my experiences. I'm also young myself (31 yrs old) so losing my dad felt very sudden and jolting. I thought I had at least 20 more years with him. Though there's so much sadness that's involved, there's also something beautiful as well. And when I see young people like myself taking care of their aging parents, it makes my heart swell with happiness because they're doing it right. With that said, I'm relieved to hear you get the opportunity to visit your parents during the holidays. Give them lots of love, attention, and hugs (even if they don't want it) because you never know when that opportunity dismisses itself. Again, thank you for your kind words and I pray and wish for a very Merry Christmas for you and your family!
