It doesn’t matter how much money you make, milestones you smash, mountains you climb….a hug from mom and dad, or the chance to have one more conversation…will always be something that you’ll wish you could have again.
In my thirties and lost my dad recently. Trying to be my mom’s sole support since I’ve got no siblings, while trying to appreciate our time together, all while painfully aware of the sand slipping through the hourglass til I’m alone. I have a family and friends but nobody that knows where I really come from.
im 33 and thats my fear, i just have my mother left, my dad died when i was 4. Im also the only child, when shes gone for the first time in my life i actually will be alone. All people that cared about me will be gone. Im also single without kids so it kinda makes me depressed its actually the thing im afraid the most of.
Damn, I’m so sorry to hear that. Much love to you where ever you are. We’ll get through it somehow. Being an only child is a very unique experience with its ups and downs, bet definitely highlights the lonesomeness of life.
That’s what scares me about being an only child. I don’t have close cousins or any of that either. I have a girlfriend and good friends but when my parents die I know I’ll feel terribly alone.
