Are you emotionally prepared for the death of your parents?

[IronAddict1775]

Cant hold all these feels

[jodalife]

No, I'm not. My parents play an important role in my life, who I am is thanks to their values and upbringing. We don't livein the same country, but I hope to return one day. Losing my parents at this point in my life would be devastating... I hope for many years of solid health to both of them.

[PirateBrah10]

the worst is when they're in your dreams and you wake up forgetting that they're actually gone.

[lpc1212]

Hell no

[PirateBrah10]

This. Mommy will still be giving me kisses even when I'm 100.

lik dis if yu cyr evrytim

Only time i have ever cried during a film was for this and finding nemo. Interestingly enough both films are based on the bond between Parent/Son. Seriously if you love your parents, A.I will leave you depressed for weeks, its that sad.

[T150]

Dad died and never shedded a tear. Cannot grieve for someone who was hardly there.

Mom going would be tough, but I'd handle it.

[Jrdath]

I'd be able to handle losing my dad a bit easier than I would my mom. In the moment I'd probably be normal, but some where down the line the loss would hit me like a ton of bricks. I'd get over it though because I know my mom wouldn't want me down on myself for too long if she ever passed

[NVious]

Yep 100%

[Iamamanbrah]

Saw my grandpa pass away 3 months ago, sometimes I dream that instead of seeing my grandpa take his last breath I see my grandma, dad, mum and even little sisters.

I dont think theres a way you can prepare for this, just make the most of the time you have together now

[ElevatedVaal]

could care less

[Autopilot]

Was holding my moms hand when she took her last breath. srs.

[VaiKing]

holy **** @ how depressing the threads are getting these days

[RealAesthetic]

i'll never be ready to lose me mum srs

[Sh1f7]

Prepare your feels. Srs.

Well, when i was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. you know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001. we had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together - until he died, when i was just 6.

i couldnt touch that console for 10 years.

but once i did, i noticed something.

we used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge. actually pretty awesome for the time it came.

and once i started meddling around... i found a ghost..

literaly.

you know, when a time race happens, that the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver? yep, you guessed it - his ghost still rolls around the track today.

and so i played and played, and played, untill i was almost able to beat the ghost. until one day i got ahead of it, i surpassed it, and...

i stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure i wouldnt delete it.

[joecayse]

I'm not... nowhere close.

No way, bro. I've only lost one grandparent. Not sure if I could handle the feels, especially with my parents being in their 50s.

[Aftermath145]

It's not losing parents that's the really hard part, it's afterwards knowing my safety net in this world, the two people I can always depend on and the comfort of knowing they are out there in the world--people who have my back and know me through and through--are gone. I have no kids and really no family but them. When they die I'm alone in the world, truly.

[NoNewGains]

Not even emotionally prepared for the death of my dog crew.

Will feel really weird, I've never had someone close to me die. Most of my grandparents are gone but I never really knew them.

[BroWhoLifts150]

Yes

[HeavyGainsBrah]

Like those roadtrips my father never took me on, I'm asking "Are we there yet"

pooohooohooohooo ughhhuhhhhuhhhuhhh

[TheRedLad]

In 2010 when I was fifteen my mom was diagnosed with cancer and on the 28th of December 2012 she passed away.I knew it was coming but still I don't think you can be prepared they say it gets easier but for me the pain has got much worse .I remember overhearing her on the phone saying the doc said she's not long left hearing that my life shattered in an instant.

10 months after that one of my best friends same age as me and grew up together like brothers got ran over by a truck this really shook me up.

Then March 2014 my girlfriend of a year and a half ends things!This killed me altogether cause she was a major distraction in losing my mom and bestfriend.Now in the space of 14 months I've lost 3 of the most important people in my life.All at the age of 19 some teenage years !

Still I have to be thankfull as there is always worse off then you and life is very cruel you gotta roll with the punches.But I dont think you can ever be prepared for losing a parent you are very close to its the worst experience I've ever felt in my life anyway.

[DidNotReadL0L]

no i dont think anyone truly is. i was raised by my grandparents they are still young for grandparetns only 63 and 65 but no i'm not prepared honestly think about ending it when they die because i'll have nobody left who i am truly close to.

[MehAesthetic]

Will never be emotionally prepared for the death of my mother crew



mother over everything crew

[TheNewAddiction]

We all know it will happen one day, but how can ANYONE be...?

Dad died this February after a 5 year battle with bone cancer so I can tell you that you can't be, and I'm 37. You just have to go through the steps. Last thing was he was unable to shave his face for final family photos so I helped him into the bathroom to shave his face for him. Just a skeleton of the man I grew up with, all state linebacker in high school, went to college on a wrestling scholarship and was now something out of the Holocaust. We had a good talk and then his brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces and grand child all gathered for a few more pictures....6 days later he would be dead.

Cremated him then a few months later so the mid west soil could thaw, drove back up there and with his youngest brother, he and I dug a four foot hole in the thick stubborn soil and laid him to rest in a small cemetery. Very surreal, the whole process.

Be close to your friends and family, hug your kids, don't wait to tell people you love them.
