Hey guys, im Amira i writting this to let those who have dealt with parently loss.
14 years, my life was just me, my nan and my aunty ushma. My dad walked out before i was even born he never cared. I always knew my mum died when i was a baby, but i never knew how.
i was 10 when i found out the truth about my mum, my mum had cervical cancer, she was so sick and when i was a few months old she took her own life. Finding this out completly broke my heart but i was only a kid and still am, i never really knew how to deal with this. Some days the loneliness is so heavy i can barely breathe but deep down my aunty ushma has been my rock and she has been the mother figure to me but i know it can never be the same.
Thank you for opening up and sharing something so personal. No child should ever have to carry that kind of weight, especially at such a young age. Finding out the truth must have been incredibly overwhelming, confusing, and heartbreaking.
The loneliness you describe is something many people who experience parental loss silently carry every single day. It can leave questions, emptiness, sadness, anger, and moments where you feel completely disconnected from others around you. Those feelings are real and you don't need to hide them.
At the same time, it is beautiful to hear how much your aunty Ushma has stood beside you. While nobody can ever replace your mum, having someone who chose to love, protect, and support you through the hardest parts of your life matters more than words can explain. That kind of care can become a light in even the darkest moments.
Please remember this: you are not alone in your grief, we are all now by your side and you do not have to carry it in silence. Your story matters. Your feelings matter. And despite everything you have been through, your life still holds value, purpose, and the possibility of healing one step at a time. ❤️
