Hello everyone,
I’m just letting you know about a new category on the community.
I’ve noticed that we have more members who have sadly experienced the loss of someone when they were a child and are now coping with it in adulthood. Or they have lost a parent or someone else that they loved as a young adult, and feel that they are alone. No-one should have to go through grief alone, and that’s why the community is here for everyone.
Loss is devastating, no matter how old we are. But we know that, when it comes to grief, young adults have some specific shared experiences.
You may be feeling that the person you lost will be missing out on all your milestones. Or that you are too young to have lost someone close to you, and so you feel very different from your peers.
We’ve created a Loss as a young adult space so that young adults can more easily connect with and find others who understand the unique feelings they may be going through. Adults who lost someone as a child are welcome to post here, too.
I hope you find this a safe space if you are a young adult coping with grief. Keep reaching out,
Seaneen
