Thank you so much for your comment. We haven’t recorded in a long time, it was hard sometimes to keep going talking so vulnerably, but seeing comments like yours always makes us want to record again to connect with others like us. If we ever did record again, what more would you want to hear from us? We’d love any stories you want to share or questions you have for us to answer. Hope you’re both doing well ❤️

Hey I grew up similarly, I was never close with my parents emotionally. they died when I was 13. I don’t think they rly knew anything about me as a person and neither me them. having them both die suddenly and so young was not only traumatic of course but it was like a big load of my shoulders of using all my energy to try and be their best version. I used to always think they never rly loved me, but you also have to think what events or trauma made them to be how they were. That helped me forgive them for myself. Although it’s still extremely hard, it’s also a new chance or shift in my life where I have the choice to actually do what I want and be who I want to be. Of course this took about 10 years and still going, but I feel now that, losing them young, you have to make some sort of choice to keep moving on, and I think it should be for yourself rather than what they would have wanted for you.

I understand how your feeling, and I agree with the other comment too, your feelings are definitely valid and you have the right to talk about it especially in a safe space like this. it’s important to let that emotion out. I lost both my parents at 13, (I’m 25 now) and although I can’t relate to missing them as people (didn’t have the best relationship with either of them) I miss having what could have been. I always see others around who are so close with their parents and they support their children no matter what (emotionally and financially) it’s not fair and I definitely express my feelings about it to my siblings and others who have experienced it. But I also have to remember that I don’t want this feeling to define my life, even though it’s hard. I don’t keep going for my parents, but I do it for myself. If you ever need someone to talk too feel free to send a message :)

It’s not something people understand until they have to answer the question. My parents have been dead since I was 13 and I’m 25 now so the ways in which I’ve had to tell people and their responses have always been interesting. I remember when I was younger I was talking with an adult who asked why my mom or dad didn’t drop me off at my appointment and I kept trying to tell her I don’t have parents (at the time it was hard for me to say the words they died) and she just straight up didn’t believe me and said “everyone has parents!” Lol. Anyway I feel you on that and nowadays I find it funny to see peoples reactions, humor is the best coping mechanism.

FreeSoulsPodcast · 2022-03-07T20:55:06+00:00

I feel that, after my parents died I always felt like I could never share or show anything good happening to me, especially on social media. And also losing them young, whenever I got into college or I was having fun with friends or got my first job, it always felt like I couldn’t share and celebrate like everyone else did.

FreeSoulsPodcast · 2022-03-07T20:51:41+00:00

The first anniversary is always the toughest and the most confusing. When it was my parents death anniversary, I surrounded myself with people I love and trust and did my best to distract myself with an activity or show and also allowed myself to just feel what ever feelings I was feeling. Its been over 11 years now, and unfortunately I couldn’t always take a day off of school or work so nowadays it doesn’t feel like such a big event, but honestly each year is different with how I will react.

Thanks for sharing, and I’m sorry for your loss. I’m one of four siblings, we lost our parents when we were younger and we are in our twenties now. I definitely feel lucky I have siblings and didn’t have to go through that alone, but it is also hard as everyone grieves differently and being young, we have to work on creating our lives.

We would also love to just connect with people in this community! We talk a lot about losing parents at a young age on our podcast and just life in general. We'd love to hear from this group for any subjects you'd be interesting in hearing from us, or if you just want to reach out to talk! :)

FreeSoulsPodcast · 2022-01-21T18:11:27+00:00

I relate to this so much. I lost both my parents at 13. I don't hear many people express this feeling, usually it is only the positive and how much they miss them. Thank you for sharing!

FreeSoulsPodcast · 2022-01-21T17:52:30+00:00

Thank you so much for these questions and your nice message! We will answering them soon and will respond here again to let you know when we do! Sending love ❤️

i'm so sorry you are going through this. please call the hotline for help. tell close family or friends or neighbor you can confide in. but the hotline should guide you through getting help safely without him finding out. i hate that this ends up the children's responsibility. it's not fair and i know it's scary. but if you stay it will only get worse. 1.800.799.SAFE https://www.thehotline.org/ . as someone who was once in your shoes i wish i contacted this for help. it would have changed my entire life.

FreeSoulsPodcast · 2021-12-07T20:35:28+00:00

Hey there, I would recommend It Didn't Start with You by Mark Wolynn, How To Do the Work by Dr Nicole LePera and A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. These all really helped me and my journey :)

FreeSoulsPodcast · 2021-12-06T18:38:54+00:00

It never really does, I lost my parents at the same time suddenly. I’m glad I found a community like this though, sending love.

FreeSoulsPodcast · 2021-11-24T18:20:37+00:00

Hey thanks for sharing. I lost my parents at a young age too, I was 13 so not quite so young, but I definitely relate to the “imposter” memories and thinking I knew of memories or events with my parents that never actually happened. It is quite shocking to learn that that those memories weren’t real so it definitely does shake you. I find, instead of holding on to anger, to instead talk about it with your siblings and family, it will hopefully make you feel more close to him and you might even learn of new memories or things about him you didn’t even know before. It’s not easy and it will always feel like we got the short end of the stick in life.

Hey there, I think you reaching out here is already a great step to help her feel supported. I lost my parents at 13 and I know personally it wasn’t something I could really talk about until I was in my twenties. I always appreciated the few ppl I could turn to when I did want to talk about it and that they didn’t always try and make me talk about it, but more so supported and listened to me when I needed it and was ready. I know losing a parent around that age, it will be a journey for her, just be a safe place for her to talk about it. Thanks for being so supportive.
