Coping with the loss of a parent as a 16 y/o...AMA

As the title says, I recently lost my mum. Talking about it does me good, and will help others too. I know there is already a sticky thread about bereavement but this is specifically for the loss of parents. Anyone else out there going through this hell? If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Here to support everyone xx

I'm not going through this hell at the moment, but my condolences for your loss.

If there's one thing you'd like your mum to know, what would it be?

Losing a loved one is really tough. I lost 3 of my grandparents quite close together… I'm sure everyone here will agree that it's awful and I'm really sorry for your loss. I won't ask any questions because I'd feel insensitive but I will say that if you ever need to talk, you can always always PM me

I'm sorry for your loss. How are you coping with your studies?

did you at least tell your mom you love her before she left this world?
what did you like best about your mom?

Thank you lovely xx


That she was flipping awesome and I appreciated her more than anyone on this planet. she was my true best friend. but she knew that :3 xx


Best wishes and love to you! And I'm sorry for your loss, it is so sad Thank you, that's so nice to know xx


I've missed about a month of school in total but I'm still on track to get 3 As at AS level. Keeping busy is how I roll xx


The last thing she ever told me was that she loved me, and she held my hand as she did. I told her I loved her too. I loved how beautiful she looked and how strong she was. xx

My dad passed when I was 9, I have no question but all I can say is keep talking to people about it and although nothing is ever the same again it does get easier in time.

Whoa! Go you!

I am so sorry for you, know I'm always here to talk and to talk with someone who has been through the same thing is so helpful. Thank you xx


Haha thank you! I dropped a subject to stay on track but its no loss. HAPPINESS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GRADES MY FRIEND x

Agreed - good philosophy

What do you want to study?

I actually dropped philosophy aha! Im studying French, English Lit and History. I want to do a degree in Eng+His then join the forces and start afresh x

Interesting! I do a language too - very challenging for me

Join the forces?

Just entirely speculation but are you a utilitarian?

Ahh which? yes for me too! yeah, its a chance to have a clean slate, and my boyfriend is joining this next year so forces = fun job and travelling the world with the person I love
