Has anyone else here gone through the loss of a parent while in college? I’m really struggling right now and can’t help but feel so unfortunate. It seems like people usually don’t lose their parents until they’re in their 50s or 60s, and this just feels incredibly unfair. Looking at my friends, none of them truly understand what I’m going through. 🙁

I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Losing a parent at any age is incredibly tough, and it’s completely understandable to feel the way you do. Your feelings of unfairness and isolation are valid. Many people might struggle to understand what you’re experiencing, especially if they haven’t faced a similar loss.
It might help to talk to someone who can relate, whether that’s a counselor or a support group for people who have experienced similar losses. Remember, it’s okay to grieve and take the time you need to process this. You’re not alone, and there are people who care about what you’re going through.
