“ I write and so I am. ”

“ I'm an only child. I lost my mother at 23 and my father at 29. I'm 31 now, so initial shock of death is long gone. Now the loneliness has crept up, and the confusion has left me tired. ”

“ I lost my Mom to cancer on Aug. 2, '07. I am 28. It has been 2 mos and I am still in shock. She was my best friend, mentor, and the source of the greatest love I have ever known. I have been to one mtg. and consider this group an amazing blessing! ”

“ I'd be delighted to meet others who have lost both parents so that we can build our own support system. ”

“ Looking forward to meeting other people who have similar interest that I have. ”

“ I want these local Meetups because I just lost my loving mother to Glioblastoma Multiforme, her husband buried her without telling any of her kids. I feel as if there is no closure. She passed only less than 2 weeks ago. I feel so lost. ”

“ In a conversation, I said I was an adult orphan. My friend laughed and said you're an old orphan! I didn't think the term applied to helpless young people only. I would like to meet like-minded people to explore the grown up side of orphan. ”
