Seeds of solace
The question is not if we will know grief, but when.
And when it arrives on our doorstep - as it inevitably will -, whether we will be able to open our door and arms to it and greet it like an old friend.
Losing our parents is life changing at any age; and it can be earth shattering when it happens sooner than we’ve learned to ‘expect’ it from life. Sooner than the natural order of things would indicate is ‘right’. In our 20s and 30s, we are definitely no longer children but we are definitely still our parents’ child. Too old to be considered orphans by most, yet too young to consider the loss of both parents ‘a natural part of life’, it can leave you feeling isolated in your experience. Like belonging to a unique subgroup that fits neither here nor there. It can be confusing, disheartening, and extremely lonely.
Our parents were where our roots began to grow. There, in their arms, we knew we belonged. With them, there was a special place carved out for us, a place that fit us perfectly no matter how big we got. With them, we would always be a child, first. There would always be a place for us. With them, we would always be home. As our elders, we looked to them for advice, for refuge, for the wisdom that comes with age. We looked to them to celebrate the glorious moments of life and to find comfort during the hard times. The need and desire to have them within an arm’s reach doesn’t just stop when they die. We still look for that place they always held for us, and that we implicitly believe they always will. When we suddenly find that it is no longer there, we feel lost, disorientated, uprooted and confused.
