Losing both parents at young age

[Seaneen]

Hello @Emily22,

Thank you for bravely reaching out. I’m so sorry for the loss of both your parents.

You are not alone; sadly, we have many members who have experienced the loss of their parents. You may want to connect with @Brit, who recently shared their story of losing both their parents at a young age, too:

Losing parents

Hi, this is the first time I’ve written anything on here. I’m 23 and I’ve lost both parents, my mum passed unexpectedly 8 years ago and my dad passed unexpectedly last year. Last year I went to my dads the day before he passed and he wasn’t feeling very well at the time, I asked him if he wanted me to call 111 but he told me not too because he had this illness multiple times in the past and he didn’t think he needed us too. I told him to call me if he needed anything or if he wanted me to stay…

@Natalie44 has also experienced the loss of both their parents. They shared a bit about their experiences in this thread.
