Welcome to my life as I see it. I am a relatively normal 33-year-old female who has a love for aviator sunglasses, makes the best out of any situation and happens to have two dead parents. I am fortunate that I have some great friends and a loving family. I like the same things most everyone else does: music, festivals, bars/social, reading, watching t.v., hanging out with friends, walking/hiking and wasting time wandering big box department stores.
As a newer member of the orphaned adult club, I am finding my way through the murk. My mom passed away from a heart attack when I was 20 years old. My father recently passed away one night in his sleep from complications of sleep apnea. There are not a lot of resources available for people between the ages of 18 and 40 who enter the orphaned adult club. I decided to blog about my experience, as I am likely not the only one to experience this and/or to feel the way I do.
My posts are raw, real and unedited. These are my feelings, thoughts, and reactions as I work through my grief and learn to live without having a surviving parent or other older relatives to turn to. I have a sense of humor that many do not get so some of my posts may seem abrupt or harsh. My humor ranges from dry, to dorky, dark, cynical and sarcastic--with everything else in-between. My posts may show the multiple facets of my humor and/or cynicism as I often will revert to humor to help me deal with things.
For me, writing is proving to be therapeutic. For those of you who are also going through the process, I hope it helps--even if it is knowing you are not alone and that others are going through the process too. For those of you who are not going through the process--well I hope you find my posts enlightening, comical, raw and entertaining.
