The Challenge
While losing a parent at any age is enormous and profound, having lost both of your parents before becoming a parent or while a parent yourself, leaves you in an odd and oftentimes difficult space.
When you have children of your own, and your parents are not there to help you – that difficult space becomes hard to navigate.
