Are Both Your Parents Still Alive?

[Benjamin]

Was just wondering who else has lost a parent and how old you were when it happened.

I lost my father when I was 4 years old.

[Niamh.]

yeah, both of mine are still alive. God, that was young Ben, what happened?

[Shaun]

aaaa-no.

19. (dad)

[Mystic Mock]

luckily for me i havent lost mine yet,well who knows they might out live me with all the junk food i eat.:joker:

[Novo]

Just my Mum, My Dad died when i was 4 as well

[Kerry]

No, none. 5 when my mum died. 10 when my dad did

[GypsyGoth]

Dad died when I was 10.

[Benjamin]

yeah, both of mine are still alive. God, that was young Ben, what happened?

Hole in the heart. He'd lived with it since he was born but passed away when he was 29 :sad:

[Jamie.....]

Mum yes.
But dad I have no idea, im not in contact with him, but I think he is alive.

[Benjamin]

No, none. 5 when my mum died. 10 when my dad did

Oh, that must have been so hard to deal with. :hug:

[Niamh.]

Hole in the heart. He'd lived with it since he was born but passed away when he was 29 :sad:

that's terrible, he was so young :(

[Kerry]

Oh, that must have been so hard to deal with. :hug:

:hug:

[Tom.]

Lost dad about a year ago and couldn't care less :confused: so would've been 20. Can't actually remember the date

Couldn't stand the man, not seen him since I was about 12

[/heartless]

I think thats why I'm so close to my mum

[Locke.]

Dad died when I was 17

[Niall]

I still have both my parents alive. But I think I'd actually be an emotional wreck if one of them died. I get screwed up enough having to leave one, to go and see the other.

[Kerry]

Dad died when I was 17

That can't have been long ago. How old are you?

[_Seth]

Both my parents are still alive.

If my mom died, I dunno what the hell I'd do...

[Locke.]

That can't have been long ago. How old are you?

18.

Pretty sure it was in May

[Kerry]

18.

Pretty sure it was in May

Oh, sorry :(

[Josy]

My mum died when I was 20.

[Stacey.]

Yeah they're both still alive.

[Lewis.]

Luckily I still have both my parents alive but I don't know how I'd cope if one of them died.

[Maia]

Dad died when I was 10.

Same :(

[MTVN]

Yes, I've been really lucky that I've never lost anyone who's been really close to me

[Marsh.]

Fortunately never really lost a close relative or friend *touch wood*.

[Scarlett.]

My mum had a disabling disease that left her in constant pain since I was about six, so we never really got to experience days out much, my mum died when I was 12

[Z]

Both of my parents are still alive... I'm sorry for all of your losses, I can't imagine life without my parents :(

[InOne]

Hole in the heart. He'd lived with it since he was born but passed away when he was 29 :sad:

I was a hole in the heart baby D:

[Iceman]

My mother died when I was 13, she had cancer for 4 years and was misdiagnosed three times.

[Mystic Mock]

Both of my parents are still alive... I'm sorry for all of your losses, I can't imagine life without my parents :(

same.

[Angus]

My mum died suddenly aged 54 from a stroke, and my dad died five years later aged 61 from lung cancer. Neither of them lived long enough to see any of their grandchildren which always saddens me.

[Ninastar]

Both of my parents are still alive... I'm sorry for all of your losses, I can't imagine life without my parents :(

I feel like this too. I have both of my parents and I bitch and whine about them all the time. I didn't realize how much I take them for granted

[Twilight]

Yes, luckily. I'm so sorry for all you losses, i don't know w i'd live without my mum and dad. :/

[mizzy25]

[Beastie]

[Angus]

No, none. 5 when my mum died. 10 when my dad did

Aww,so sorry - that's really young to lose both your parents.:sad:

[Lee.]

My mum's alive, my dad is dead. He died when I was 30. I had no contact from him most of my life until I was 21 when he contacted me, so I wasn't particularly close to him. I grieved forhim in my own way but I felt pty for him more than anything else as he missed out on seeing his kids grow up.

My Grandma lived with us most of my life so she was my 2nd parent. She passed away nearly 3 years ago and that hurt like hell :(

That's happened far too much over here

[Iceman]

That's happened far too much over here

Well hopefully this government repfroms the health service.... when she first got referred she had to wait 5 months for the scans....and then it took 2 more years before diagnosis.... im sure she would have had a better chance had it not being for some peoples incompetance.

it sounds like it alright, that's 2 and a half years before they even started treatment then? That's a joke.

[Lee.]

:hug:

Thanks :hug:

[Iceman]

Yep, could have been 2 and a half years that she could have been having treatment....

[Pyramid*]

No grandparents, and no parents. Father took his own life when I was 38, mother kept trying to do the same thing time and time again, and ended up being sectioned. Haven't seen her for many years now.

In the space of 4 years, I effectively lost 2 cats I'd had since I was 20, one father, one grandmother who just about raised me, and my mother to depression and alcohol. Not a good experience.

:(

well, I hope the new government will do something about the health system so atleast other people won't go through the same thing:hug:

That's terrible:hug:


thanks for the cuddle...... I have this 'mantra' that life deals the toughest blows to those who it thinks can 'handle' it. C'est la vie and all that.

I have fabulous friends who I would die for, and them me. I have a job with a decent salary, a nice car, a home that I love, have holidays abroad twice a year. Given the life some have and the cards that some are dealt with:- I still have to see that life could be so much worse.

People die, (and beloved pets) regardless.....they do leave this earth at some point - by whatever means, and for whatever reason - and that I've accepted.

That said, that doesn't negate that some on here seem to have had a real 'sore' time (Kerry for example). in that respect and to those concerned..... massive :hug: to all. what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger......................... and as I say, whether you believe in God, some other, fate, karma or whatever: there's a reason for everything - even though we may not quite understand the reasons - then, now or ever - I believe there is a reason for it. ((Hugs all))

[Pyramid*]

My mother died when I was 13, she had cancer for 4 years and was misdiagnosed three times.


Now that..... that angers me. Strangely enough: I was reading something online only last week - about someone who had been going to the doctor - had something like 38 different appointments - and it was cancer of the kidneys or something. Finally diagnosed but far too late.

That saddens me greatly.

Sorry for your loss Iceman. Hell of a young age to lose your mum. :(

Yeah, I truly believe this, I think when bad things happen to you, you can either turn bitter or you can turn it into something positive and become a much stronger person for it.

[Livia]

I have both my parents and I thank God for them.

[Mystic Mock]

My mum died suddenly aged 54 from a stroke, and my dad died five years later aged 61 from lung cancer. Neither of them lived long enough to see any of their grandchildren which always saddens me.

my condolences angus58.

Sorry for your loss Iceman. Hell of a young age to lose your mum. :(

Thanks, although I never knew anything different, even with protest nothing ever happened and the so called "doctor" still practices today which is a disgrace in itself, but like they say "few voices are heard", nothing I can do now only try and make people leave the doctor.........

[Kerry]

Aww,so sorry - that's really young to lose both your parents.:sad:

Had a great Nan :)

[Kerry]

[Kerry]

You OK?

Kerster - to lose both at such an early age is unimaginable to me - but I can see you strong nevertheless.

[Kerry]

Nope, you're not an idiot. Only if you think you're an idiot for grieving you'll be an idiot

Feck, confuddled myself now....

If you need explaining why, it really doesn't need explaining at all.
