As a grown adult, there has been so much as well as little difficult situations that has made me stumble but the one that hit me so hard that up until this day am still recovering is the death of my parents.
My parents died six years apart from each other, losing a loved cannot just be overcomed even if the years goes by, especially when you know,the best part of your life is not goimg to be shared with them.

The passing of my parents has shaped my life, believe and has given me another perspective about the importance of life and living fully in the moments. Ones state of mind can greatly be impacted on how we carry out our healing process.
The sudden loss of my parents where overwhelming and uptill this day I struggle to come to terms with the reality of their passing. I realized that my initial reaction was anger, regrets, frustration,the feeling of helplessness. The thought of being called an orphan and the pityness can be very scary. The helpless hit me deep and I wondered oh what will happen to my family from that moment on.
Although I get very emotional if am asked about my parents, I realise I cannot change the circumstances of their passing, but I can control how I respond to them. Accepting it does not mean that I am okay with what happened, it means that I acknowledge the reality of their passing and am trying my best to cope with it.
When am faced with difficult situations, my mood is usually sad, anger or regrets and later acceptance. And this involves me trying to place myself head strong, I find comfort in things I love doing, like working, watching movies and a good laugh with my siblings.
I have come to understand that life is unpredictable, and we must make the most of every moment. The loss of my parents has made me more empathetic towards others who have experienced similar challenges.
With love ♥
