I lost my mom and I am all alone.

My parents divorced when I was 1 and never got along after. Mom died when I was 11, dad died when I was 16. For years I was upset because a photo of myself and my parents did not exist, and I would never get to take one. I dug through some photos and just found one. Can’t explain what this means.

I never knew my step mom kept my mom's bandanas when she moved in. She made them into pillows for me and now when I really need my mom I can just hug them tight. It was the most amazing gift my step has ever given me. And I cried. I thought I saw the last of my moms stuff when she moved in.

My mom passed away in 2009. I was 12. I was cleaning out an old storage unit of stuff I haven’t seen in 10 years and came across this in a drawer. I don’t know how or why this was saved but I am so glad it was.

My Beautiful Mother passed away in front of my eyes almost 3 years ago. I tried to save her life but apparently I’m not as good at CPR as I thought I was. She would have been 55 today. Happy Birthday Mom.

Six years ago, the love of my life left this earth. I miss my mom every minute of every day. It’s still not fair. I always said anything could happen to me as long as I had her. Then she died. I miss you, mom.

Today is 9 yrs since dad was killed instantly in a car crash. I was 17 but, like most teens, didn't take enough pics with him during those years. I regret it every day. I just want to hug him again. I hate that I'm getting used to life without him. How do you deal once almost a decade has passed?

Lost my dad (and 16 yr. old sister) to a car accident in May. Words cant describe the pain and heartbreak we’ve gone through. This man lived big and gave generously even when we had nothing. So blessed my siblings and I could call him our dad❤️❤️

I just lost my mom Tuesday to cancer. She fought hard, and passed away peacefully. It's been really hard and in trying so hard to keep it together. I feel like I'm breaking into pieces. I miss and love you Mom..

My dad just died last week after ALS took his body away. My mother died in 2011 because of alcoholism and depression. I’m 24 and all alone now. Grateful I have my brother but he’s got a wife and his own family starting. I’m just starting my career and feel lost, what do I do now...

My brother and my “sister by marriage” gave me this beautiful bracelet for my birthday. It’s my mom’s handwriting! My mom’s been gone for 4 years and, to say the least, it’s been hell. My dad is kicking me out and I don’t have many options but this bracelet made my day!
