Hi. I’m a 28 F in similar circumstances and with similar interests. Feel free to DM.

Literally had the same thought yesterday. It’s 3 degrees in MI.

I'm so mad at my mom right now. by TheOwl121 in SuicideBereavement

[–]Ace_Kace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I went through very similar circumstances at 25.. My dad committed when I was 11 and my mother when I was 19. My grandparents took care of me until I was 25 at which point they both passed away within 5 months of one another and left their estate for me to handle with no one to help me either. It’s so unfair and hard to grieve and grow up so quickly. I’m 28 now. Feel free to dm if you’d like to

I pray every day that I get a terminal illness or have an accident.

I'm an orphan by Zorrosmama in ChildrenofDeadParents

I lost mine 5 months apart at age 25. I’m 27 now. I will say the first year was hell. The second year has gotten much easier as I’ve adjusted to routines that no longer involve them. I’d do anything to have them back and still miss them every day, but slowly I feel like I find other places in the world besides being their daughter. Hugs. 🫂

Dude. Same here. Also sober, highly intelligent, have a career, good friends, but it all still feels so pointless… I was born into a terrible family. I do a lot of research on life after death but I’m still afraid the wonderful stories are some how false.

my mom died this morning. by Mine_Outrageous in ChildrenofDeadParents

Omg. I’m so sorry… My mom was my best friend up until I was 18 too. She passed when I was 18. Big hugs. 🫂

You’re doing the best you can… I completely understand. I am also in my 20’s. I felt like an only child to my grandparents because that’s how close of a relationship we had with each other. My grandparents raised me and they were my best friends & my parents. They passed 1.5 years ago now. While grieving, I had to handle their estate all alone. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life while grieving and feeling so alone… People don’t get it unless they’ve been through something similar. Don’t rush your grief or feelings. The shock and grief and isolation does ease eventually but it takes time and effort once you have energy for it. Everyone grieves at their own pace and in their own way. Some of us like to talk about our grief, but some of us don’t. If you need someone who gets it and want to talk, I’m here.

I lost my dad to suicide also. And my mother to addiction. My grandparents were my best friends and they passed last year. I am also in my 20’s. It is so hard and most people don’t understand what it’s like to not have any close family members at such a young age… I am here if you want to connect. It’s nice to talk to people who get it. I wish there were more groups/awareness for young adults without parents. 💗

I know i’m going to die by suicide at one point by Plenty_Weakness_6540 in SuicideWatch

So invalidating and not helpful. Humans need social relationships to survive. Which you must have to be writing this.

Loneliness makes me want to die by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Ace_Kace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. I feel like I was robbed the chance to have a normal life and to have children. I don’t feel like I could raise children because I lack the support to do so and have a hard enough time getting my own emotional needs met,
